So i am reading a review on Tat The Frank and i see in the write up,
■Size: 7 5/8 inches
■Ring Gauge: 49
■Vitola: Box pressed Double Corona
I thought Vitola was the combination of ring and size (robusto - 5 x 50 ) etc...
But this listing of vitola included the pressing...
Are all three factors taken to determining the vitola and what is actually the listing of the vitola
Would in The Franks case the vitola be considered Double Corona
I am not sure if this makes sense...
I realize i am getting to hung up on this term and should shut up and smoke something and forget this line of thinking (as i undobtably will in 5 minutes anyway)
Vitola is the cigar in all its incarnations. Length, rg, wrapper, press, blend, everything. Like saying I had a tatuaje last night, would be of no real value to tell some one what you had. You're lucky I'm off today.

Q: Another cigar catalog recently started using the term " vitola." Until I saw it a few months ago, I had never heard that term. Is it a cigar shape? Just what does vitola mean?

A: According to spanish.dictionary.com, in terms of cigars, it literally means "cigar band." However, as it is used in the cigar business, "vitola" is a cigar factory term for a cigar shape. Corona, Lonsdale, Torpedo, Robusto. et. al. are the names of different vitolas as they apply to the unique description of a cigar's shape. Therefore, two cigars of the same vitola would have similar measurements and form.
By definition, you are correct. I guess I don't know what other term you would use to separate different sticks, and characteristics within a line. Other than to say "different cigar" versus vitola.
Stand corrected
This is cool..
