Divide circumference by Pi to get diameter. If diameter is in inches, then multiply that by 64 to get ring gauge. A ring is 1/64" of the diameter so this should be correct.
Personally I don't have a complete mystery cigar. I actually have some info on this cigar and I've narrowed it down to two vitolas. And I could simply ask the guy I got it from. But the question is more hypothetical. What if you have a box press or semi-box press with no band and no info, and you want to figure out the ring gauge by measuring. Sure, If it's yours and you don't care, smoke it and forget it. But my question remains. I want to know.
