Description
Inch Natural
A ring gauge is 1/64th of an inch as a measurement. INCH was the idea of the master to honor the gauge. Born Big, the INCH Series of Cigars are designed by the master to always be large and nothing but large. “the ability to have more tobacco in large ring gauges allows me to create a truly unique blend” says Ernesto. INCH is this unique blend, bold, rich and BIG.

Chuck –
The Heavyweight Champion of Flavor”
Don’t let the size intimidate you. The INCH Natural was engineered by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo to prove that a massive cigar can still be incredibly nuanced. Named after its 64-ring gauge (which is exactly one inch in diameter), this cigar is a slow-burning masterpiece built for the smoker who wants a solid 90-minute to 2-hour “excursion.”
The Experience
The first thing you’ll notice is the weight—it’s packed to the gills with premium long-filler. Covered in a rustic, reddish-brown Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, the INCH Natural starts with a smooth, open draw that produces massive clouds of white smoke. It’s earthy and woody right out of the gate, but it evolves into a surprisingly sweet and creamy profile as you settle into the seat.
Tasting Profile
Primary Flavors: Rich Earth, Musty Oak, and Toasted Walnuts.
The “Sweet” Side: Subtle notes of maple syrup and toasted coconut that emerge in the second half.
The Finish: A gentle kick of red pepper spice on the finish that keeps the “big” ring gauge from feeling too mellow.
Technical Specifications
Strength: Medium to Full
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: A powerhouse blend of Dominican Piloto Cubano, Corojo, and Nicaraguan Viso.
Famous For: The “No. 64” vitola, which is exactly 1-inch thick.
Owner’s Note: This is the ultimate “golf course” cigar. Because it’s so thick, it stays lit even in a breeze and burns cool from start to finish. If you usually smoke Padrón or Ligero blends but want something that lasts twice as long, the INCH Natural is your new best friend.
