You are correct, Rick. But factoring in the weight will fix that. The crooks that sell cigars on the internet do not tell you how much they weigh, but they cannot keep you from weighing them on arrival!Typically stogies are sent out 'wet', so what you are mostly paying for is water. You can foil these ganifs by reducing the cigar to 0% humidity before putting it on the scale. Yes, I mean by smoking it and weighing the ashes. If you don't wish to burn your butt, so to speak, just factor it in based on the ash weight for the rest of the cigar length. Now, armed with the (mean) diameter, the length, the weight at 0 humidity, we are prepared to calculate the best buy. It turns out to be the Opus X A size. Rush your local tobacconist!
