Burnt out on the Hit and Miss of cigars.

Have you tried any Illusione? I find their cigars to have a rich, beany/cocoa base with some spice in the nose. My favorite is the cg4, which is slightly out of your size range (46x5 5/8) but is definitely worth trying once, and of course you can't go wrong with the cuban petit coronas like the Trinidad Reyes and Partagas Shorts

Good point on the Illusione cg4. To that I would add the Cruzado (also from Dion) and the La Riqueza (from Pete Johnson).

Love the Reyes, love the shorts! The San Cristobal principes and Bolivar PCs are also fantastic. For medium spice with big flavor backbone, I'd go Cuban 10 times out of 10. All the Nicaraguan smokes I've had lately were big on spice but a little thin in the the flavor dept.
