Review #6:  A solid preformer with a good draw and medium body. I got a great deal on this box in Jan. of this year and found the cigars to be wet and have a strong ammonia smell. Even thou the cigars were/are ugly they are constructed well. The flavors were complex with the slightest bit of spice on the back end. Will be interesting to see what the future has in store for these. - Submitted by jeht2000 on September 6, 2007
Review #5: Had an 06 earlier that is just coming around. When I got them they were really wet and took a few months to dry out. The one I smoked earlier today was a very good medium bodied smoke. That was complex till the end. Sorry, I can't describe the flavor but it was good. - Submitted by jeht2000 on September 6, 2007
Review #4: The last 5 years I might have smoked at least 200 churchills from SLR (I'm smoking one in this moment). You can even find, sometimes out of the right box, a "better" cigar, maybe a cigar with even more character. But it will be difficult to find another puros with this consistent high quality (maybe Partagas' Lusttania ?). This means a lo for a cuban cigar. Yes, they are by far the best, but often not really consistent in style and quality. The SLR's is a secure pleasure and keeps the promise. Never strong, but with intense body, silky, honey, floured, not to much animal, but elegant and a pleasure down to the last inch (or less). - Submitted by nebbiolo on August 17, 2007
Review #3: I picked up a couple of singles of these after seeing them on the "favorites" list of some some guys whose recommendations have usually turned out to be right on. Box code was TGR MAR 05.
I just finished smoking the first of these after 30 days in my humidor. What a great cigar!
I have not smoked a lot of SLRs. I have a box of Serie As from 2002, and as I have had more of these I am starting to "get" the SLR flavor. But the Serie As are a bit mild for me.
The Churchill surprised me with the intensity of flavor that I had throughout the smoke. The main flavors that I got were a honey sweetness, and unusual spice that got stronger as the cigar progressed. In reading other reviews of SLRs I have seen people refer to this as a "licorice" flavor, which I would not have come to on my own, but I think it fits. In general I have found that Churchill cigars are milder and more subtle than smaller cigars, but this one was medium strength and full flavored throughout, with a real flavor punch at the end.
Well worth a try. I'm curious about how these would be with a bit more age on them.

Review #2: A non tubed 2001 version, this cigar had a smooth & easy draw. The first inch was deceptively bland, then medium bodied strength kicked in, along with definite flavor of nuts & spice. Not a powerhouse, but a very pleasant morning smoke. Good with some nice coffee. - Submitted by Bassman on March 30, 2007
