Smaller ring gauges = less flavor complexity?

I can say that generally speaking, I am able to identify more flavors out of smaller RG cigars vs. larger ones. I think the blend has a lot to do with this, because there is an intended ratio of filler-binder-wrapper with all blends. I think that once you get into RGs much larger than 50, the filler ratio gets higher and can start to mute some of the wrapper/binder flavors. It is fun to smoke different sizes of the same blend and see which size is your favorite.
