Anybody know if there's an auction site where I can get some Camacho SLRs?

Smoked my first a few months ago, and it was the last one at one local B&M. Dude gave it to me for half price, since it was his last. I liked it better than the Tats and other cigars I bought at full freight. Went back for more and owner said they are not available anymore. Went to other B&M last week looking for other stuff and saw a half full box of SLR churchills sitting on the bottom shelf of the Camacho section. Had some age on them and picked up two at $9 ea.

PM if you want me to pick some up for you.

Guys, this thread picqued my interest and I googles them. These seem to be available at CI. Did they change wrappers or factories or something (ie, you're looking for the older stock)?

A couple years ago, "some other place" was clearing out the old labels at $3 a stick. Could kick myself for not grabbing a few boxes. Same place is clearing out the Croyolar (Camacho Black) for around the same price. PM if anyone wants the info.

That was a while back. $9/ea???? Cripes!

That's what a noob has to pay in CA. That B&M has the widest selection near home and work, but with CA taxes and tobacco surcharges, prices are crazy, and I often feel crazy paying them.

The band was orange on a white background with "SLR" in orange. Don't know if they've used other band designs or changed the blend. The first one was a robbie and was excellent. The last one, a churchill, was very good, but I wasn't excited enough to rush out and pick up anymore.
