How do I choose the right holder size?
The size is expressed by ring gauge. Measure the diameter of your cigar in 64ths of an inch or in mm — 52 ring gauge = ~20.6 mm. The 4 Aristocap sizes cover almost all common cigars on the market.
How do I attach an ARISTOCAP holder to my cigar?
Attaching is simple. Start by cutting the head of your cigar as you normally would, removing only 2 to 3 mm. Then, choose the holder that corresponds to the diameter of your cigar from the 4 sizes in the set: 42/44, 46/47, 49/52, or 54/57. Gently slide it onto the head of the cigar with a light rotating motion, without forcing: it should fit firmly without compressing the wrapper. If you feel significant resistance, switch to the next size up; if it is loose, opt for the smaller size. A properly adjusted holder does not impede the draw and remains in place throughout the smoking session.
What is the benefit of using a cigar holder?
The holder primarily provides smoking comfort. It avoids direct lip contact with the wrapper, which preserves the head of the cigar: it does not soften or unravel as you smoke. It also allows you to hold the cigar without your fingers touching the wrapper, and to enjoy your cigar down to the last bit under ideal conditions. Some enthusiasts also appreciate its elegant look: with its decorative ring, the holder becomes a true style accessory. It is particularly suitable for long smoking sessions, where the cigar head is most heavily used.
How do I clean ARISTOCAP holders?
Regular cleaning ensures an enjoyable experience. After each use, remove the holder and wipe it with a soft cloth to remove tobacco residue. Occasionally, rinse it in lukewarm water, without scented detergents, which could leave an undesirable taste during the next use. Then leave it to dry completely in the open air before storing. Avoid abrasive products, the dishwasher, and heat sources, which could damage the material and the decorative ring. Store your four holders together, away from dust, so you always have the right size on hand.
Are the holders suitable for all cigar formats?
The set covers a wide range of diameters, from 42 to 57 in ring gauge, representing the vast majority of common formats: coronas, robustos, toros, churchills, and more generous sizes. Very thin cigars under 42, or very large diameters over 57, fall outside this range. For figurados with pointed heads, such as torpedos, the fit depends on where you cut the tip: a more generous cut results in a larger diameter, which should be matched with the appropriate size. When in doubt, measure the diameter of your cigar and refer to the 4 sizes offered.
Is the ARISTOCAP set a good gift idea?
It is a refined and original gift that stands out from the ordinary. With its 4 sizes, the set adapts to the recipient's collection without you needing to know their favorite cigars: a true advantage when giving to a demanding enthusiast. Its decorative rings add a touch of elegance appreciated by true connoisseurs. It is perfect for a birthday, Father's Day, or as a thank-you gift, and is an ideal complement to a cigar gift box. Pair it with a case, cigar cutter, or lighter from our selection to create a complete gift.
Can I take the holders with me when traveling?
Yes, and it is actually very practical. Lightweight and compact, ARISTOCAP holders easily slide into a pocket, accessory pouch, or cigar case. By bringing all 4 sizes, you are guaranteed to have the right holder regardless of the cigar chosen during your trip, including those you discover while away. To protect them, store them preferably in a small pouch, away from metal objects that could scratch their decorative ring. Remember to clean and dry them before putting them back in your luggage to avoid any smell of cold tobacco.
