So, my darling wife bought me a box of 4x60 mixed Tubos of Oliva Nubs. I thought they did not look like a 60 ring gauge so I measured a few of them. They were consistenly 7/8"...which amounts to a 56 ring gauge not a 60 at all. So now I was curious and took out an Oliva V Doule Robusto to measure. They consistently measured at barely 3/4"...which amounts to a whopping 48 ring gauge. Now I feel cheated!!
I suppose I could understand about a bit of shrinkage, but really, touted as a 56 and customers receive a 48, that's equal to the shrikage of a man being submerged in a cold swimming pool.
