smaller ring gauge may be better...52 RG or less works best for me, providing more flavor per puff...48 is ideal

the larger ring gauge seem flatter and more bland in flavor...

and smaller RG is more comfortable to smoke... I don't like that I have to open my mouth more with the larger RG

I understand what you are saying. That being said, you're getting more tobacco with the bigger ring gauge, so the total amount of flavor you receive with be greater. More total tobacco = more total tobacco flavor = more total enjoyment.

.Biggest majority of the flavor in a cigar is contained in wrapper so smaller rg ='s more wrapper to filler ratio thus more flavor in thinner rg's.

Flawed logic, my friend. Bigger ring gauges = more binder, filler and wrapper = more total flavor!!

Using your flawed logic, there's more TOTAL flavor in the 2 small, but succulent deep fried chicken wings than there is in the 2 large drumsticks, or the remainder of the entire bird for that matter, because the wings have that high "deep fried skin/meat" ratio!!

The nephew that I (...used to...) smoke with at my oldest brother’s / his Dad’s gravesite, prefers larger RG but I’m trying to enlighten him. I do think my efforts are starting to take root.

USPS flat rate padded envelopes can fit most cigar boxes and only cost a few cents more than a small flat rate box. You can order them for free from the USPS website.

Yeah, a lot of the priority mail stuff is free. Like euodias said, you can order it on-line and they'll deliver the supplies to your house for free.
