Dalia
6 3/4 in x 43 ring gauge. Dalia was the name of the galera in which the cigars were produced. Its popular name 8-9-8 is derived from the original box in which they were packed forming three rows of 8, 9 and 8.


Demi-tasse
A small cigar around 4 inches long with a 30 ring gauge.


Despalillo
The stripping house where the binder and filler leaves are taken to be stripped of their inner veins and stems. A second fermentation also takes place in this phase.


Diademas
A cigar with a closed and tapered head, generally about 8 inches long. The foot may be open or closed like a Perfecto.


Double Claro
See Claro-claro.


Double Corona
A standard cigar size typically 7 1/2 to 8 inches long with a 49 to 52 ring gauge.

Traditionally known as a Prominente, the tobacco leaves of this cigar are surprisingly delicate at first but then suddenly burst into an explosion of flavours.


Draw
A cigar's airflow or the amount of air that gets pulled through a lighted cigar. A cigar’s draw can be either too easy (hot) or too tight (plugged).

Many smokers will also consider the draw when giving a reviewing a cigar.
