Request for Lonsdale/Lancero Suggestions

Well, I'm slowly putting together in my mind what I want for my next order and I think I'm about ready to give the lonsdale/lancero vitola an honest try. My experiences to date have all been with ring gauges 50+ except for cigarillos (Monte Whites for quick smokes).
I would like to hear some suggestions from the small-ring guru's (I know at least Kuzi and Doc are big fans) on what cigar really shines in a lonsdale/lancero, and what vitola I should compare it against. My intent is to have the blend as a constant so I can really see just what the vitola brings (unless this is just unnecessary).
For my personal tastes I tend towards med-full blends, though I enjoy the full range from mild to full. Favorite wrappers (for today at least, since it's always changing) have been habano, sumatra and equadorian sun grown.
Thanks in advance gentlemen for any suggestions you may have!

Oliva V Lancero
Tatuaje Especiales
RP Signature Lancero
Padron Maduro Panatela
I've had other sizes in the above-mentioned blends, but can't give you a lot of info on how they compare since my memory is hazy.
try the LFD Cameroon Cabinet lancero. That is one of the best cigars I've had. I doubt you will be disappointed.
A few other blends that shine in the lance format:
Air Bender
Tempus
Opus Petite Lancero (or any of the small rings)
Davidoff Grand Cru No.1
La Aurora 107 Lancero
El Triunfador (the OR lancero is the best, but the current blend is good in both the lance and the lonsdale)
Oliva Serie V is great in the lancero
Illusione ~hl~ is one of the best sizes Dion makes
Tat Havana VI Victorias (petite lance)
Probably forgetting some good ones, but that's off the top of my head.
and a +1 for the original blend of the El Triunfador Lancero - amazing cigar.
the only one i wouldnt have included is the Illusione ~hl~ because Illusione blends each size specifically for that size. all of them are so very different that comparison is hard.
i wouldnt take it off the list though. i mean.. it is a good smoke.
Thanks for the awesome replies everyone, this is exactly what I was looking for and more!
There's some blends up there I really like or at least have some sticks to try (Oliva V Belicoso + Robusto, LFD AB Chisel, Tempus) that should give me a good comparison. I'm thinking in the next order I'll pick up at least two lancero/lonsdales to try in Habano.
Great call Sniper! I do like Brazilian maduros (both the CCOM and CAO went down great) and have a Brazilian label torp in the humi that's been eyeing me everytime I open it up. This is a definite!
Thanks again everyone, feel free to keep throwing suggestions out or discussing your favorites, as I will use this as a reference for rounds two, three, etc of my lancero venture!
