Camacho Diplomat Robusto (I think...)

Man... had a freakin' good day today... ran across a local B&M I didn't know about while running errands today, which turned out to be another location of Signature Cigars, except unlike the one near where I work this one had a much nicer location, and the guy working there was much more friendly and helpful (the other one wasn't unfriendly, but he seemed very spaced out and a bit... pothead-ish).
So I saw they had the Camacho Diplomat, and since kuzi mentioned it was strong enough to make you hurl, I had to pick one up (I'm a sucker for punishment like that).
Now, I have to say that between this and the 1962 that was in... I can't remember if it was in CCOM's 5 for 5 deal or the latest CotMC... either way, I am now a fan of Camacho. I had my bag with the Diplomat and a Coyolar perfecto sitting in one of the cupholders for the rest of my errand run, and it had the most wonderful aroma. Had to wait until after I got home from class to smoke it, but the wait was worth it. Upon lighting it I noticed a very strong flavor that I've only so far been able to describe as "classic tobacco", like if you took a big whiff of a pouch of unflavored pipe tobacco and turned that smell into a flavor, a lot of wood and a little leather/spice. The burn was almost picturesquely even most of the time, and the draw was just right. After I had a few puffs to acquaint myself with the flavor of the cigar, I cracked a bottle of Killian's Irish Red and after that I was set.
Needless to say, this cigar did NOT make me hurl, although it did give me a nice cigar-buzz, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who likes strong cigars.
P.S. Now that I think about it, I had a Camacho last summer, but I can't remember which one it was. It had a very dark wrapper (probably maduro), was box pressed in something like 6.5 x 50, and had leather and black pepper as the two main flavors. I remember that one also being very good... if anyone can help me ID it that would be awesome.
