I can see how a larger ring gauge would lead to a cooler smoke and more mild flavors, however, I have found that the Nubs seem to burn hot amd the smoke never seems to be very cool. I have been enjoying the corona size in several different Illusione's and I have found that they have been burning pretty cool. I think I've got it all backwards!

I would agree with previous posts, that it all depends on what you personally like. I really enjoy bigger ring gauges in some lines and smaller ring gauges in others.

BTW, I didn't mind the Nubs at first, decent smoke but nothing to rave about and I didn't smoke too many of them, but now, I can't stand them. Funny how my tastes are changing. It's all because of that slope or cliff or straight free-fall!
