Thanks to xiagoxx. Strong sucker, but tasty. Kind of leathery. You guys that like the strong ones should try these. I like 'em better than the Corojos.

Really? Better than the Diploma or 11/18? Have you tried the Camacho Liberty? I wasn't impressed with the SLR even though I wanted to be. The Diploma-11/18-Liberty are simply the best Camacho has to offer IMHO of course.

The 11/18 is one of the best cigars I've ever smoked. I was comparing the SLR to the regular Corojo line. Haven't had a Liberty.

JReddoch I was worried there! ...I have only a few of the Liberty. I'll include one in our deal and you counter with something. Surprise me. Looking forward to the box split.

My local cigar shop gave me a few to try. I thought they were decent smokes. Strong but smooth.

are the SLRs the ones they store standing up in the tall box? If so, I don't like them like the corojo's. The corojo's ROCK!!

Yes, Robby those are the SLRs. Don't mean to harp on the Camacho Diploma-11/18-Liberty so much, I'm just a "Camacho Ho" !

The SLR is a little less strong than the Dip and 11/18 but a has little more complexity to it. The Liberty is very similar to the SLR's,IMO. BTW,they all be good.X

Camacho makes a damn fine cigar, IMO ... I picked up two of these babies the other day and will be giving at least one of them a try over the weekend ... sure looks and smells good.

I must have gotten a wierd box of the diplomas. I found the SLR's stronger than the diplomas. Interested in trying the liberties, have not seen them (have not looked either).
SLR damn fine representation of what leather taste is in a cigar. Recommended with love from Mr.Mean.

Wow with all the talk of the SLR, I now must go back and give them a second shot. I felt they didn't compare to the Diploma-11/18 and damn sure nowhere near the Liberty.

Traded off all my corojos. Very strong, not my flavor profile. Liked the Liberty a lot, thanks to X. Haven't tried the Diplomat or even seen a 11/18. Must check it out soon.
