Thursday 13: Cuban cigars nomenclature
Last time it was Champagne bottles, for this week’s Thursday 13 I am looking at a nomenclature of the size of Cuban cigars…

Whenever I’m around someone with a cigar, I HAVE to ask for a puff. lol Is that weird?
Interesting topic.
Happy New Year!
Wow, I didn’t even know there was a nomenclature for size, let alone how many distinctions are made.
Did I do the math wrong or am I getting caught in your filters?
No idea what happened, Alice. You seem to have done the maths right, but somehow you landed in the spam filter…. but I got you out of there
.
Who knew?
Have a great day!
