Sixty
Vitolas & ShapesEnglish
Definition
Shop shorthand for any cigar of 60 ring gauge, most often a 6 by 60 format. The word turns up on price lists and shelf tags far more than on bands.
Why it matters
Sixties became a volume category in the United States after 2010 and now account for a large share of new-world sales, pushing makers to rebalance blends around the reduced wrapper share.
In context
"Half the wall is sixties now - that was not true ten years ago."
