I smoked the No. 1 size (6.5 x 42). I think that may have been part of the draw issue. The draw was so bad that I barely got any taste from it and hardly any smoke. I tried to cut a little more off to no avail. I'll try a No. 2 (5.5 x 52) if I pick up another one.

I tend to stay away from smaller ring sizes as a personal preference now. Most of my sticks are 50-52.
