I'm not an "old timer," but I agree with their preference for 33-42rg. To me, I'm more aware and appreciative of the cigar while smoking. It takes a skilled roller to blend so few leaves, and an even better one to roll it without having draw issues. It's an appreciation of mastery of the craft, combined with great tobacco (I could be wrong on this, but I've read/heard that the larger rg cigars use more bland filler leaves to get to a certain rg) that makes me enjoy the smaller RG's. Not to say I won't smoke a larger RG than 42, but I don't reach for them much. There's just something "right" about a mareva.
