I don't have much knowledge about blending, but I think I can kind of answer this to a degree. Traditionally a cigar is blended around the Corona vitola (5.5x42). To make other vitolas, they try to keep the proportions equal while compensating other components to keep the profile similar but to keep the strength in check. If the large-ring vitolas had the same strength as smaller cigars, nobody would survive them.
