What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?

I've been up and down with these. I thought it was an RG-thing. I loved the first few skinnies I'd tried. Larger RG's and perfectos left me wanting. But the last couple coronas I tried weren't getting it done, either. I highly doubt Ashton is very inconsistent -- so, either it's just me, or...perhaps there's a lot of change going on when aging and not being able to tell how old they were makes it impossible to factor in that variable.
When 'on', they are complex, spicy, biting retrohale and great big, lasting finish that leaves you chewing on the smoke/taste until the next 'puff'. When off, I get a severe 'flatness' and I get bored with them pretty quickly.
