Swag Cigar

CigarSquid · 01-16-2012, 08:45 AM

Has anyone tired these? What do you think of them. I see them from time to time on cbid and get emails with them on 'special'. I have yet to try them. I didn't see anything on here about them.

Haven't tried them but they sure do look pretty.

CigarSquid · 01-16-2012, 08:48 AM

I know, the white wrapper with the band looks appealing.

Coop · 01-16-2012, 08:49 AM

I have been wondering the same thing about the Swag.

(in to find out)

Thanks Shane.

neoflex · 01-16-2012, 09:14 AM

Out of all the sizes I think the Lancero and Corona smoke the best. I got to try these during the initial release and thought they were a bit green but thought they had potential and to be honest they have not improved much over time. They are not terrible by any means but at the same time I am not running out to stock up on them either. I would definitely go for a 5er first before popping on a box even if the price is right and definitely stick to the thinner ring guages.

CigarSquid · 01-16-2012, 09:15 AM

Thanks for the pointers.

Coop · 01-16-2012, 09:16 AM

seen them on CI for like $29.99 a 10 pack. I think they were the Torp's. Maybe they'll be on there soon again

CigarSquid · 01-16-2012, 09:17 AM

The links above are cbid, 10 for 25.99 and CI has 5 or 20 packs

Hem · 01-16-2012, 09:22 AM

I'm skeptical about ANYTHING that has the name "SWAG" in it....God I hate that stupid term.

Ed M · 01-16-2012, 09:54 AM

I got a 10 pack from CI awhile back, the toro size 6X54. Not a bad stick. Well constructed, no burn issues. I'd buy 'em again.

quantim0 · 01-16-2012, 10:24 AM

The normal line I won't bother with. They do make a limitado that is very good when you can find one that isn't under filled.

thebayratt · 01-16-2012, 10:42 AM

I was on the lookout for them for a while, then a shop I visit about an hour and a half away got them in and I tried two. I wasn't very impressed with them and won't buy them again.

Zeuceone · 01-16-2012, 12:00 PM

Tried one and it wasn't for me.

NCRadioMan · 01-16-2012, 12:43 PM

Not bad but the Aging Room M356 (Swag's original blend) is much, much better. I agree with John that the corona and lancero are best of the bunch.

kuzi16 · 01-16-2012, 05:10 PM

i got two of the coronas a while back and i reviewed them. needless to say i was very disappointed. the oliveros company usually puts out better cigars. i gave it s 7.5 of 10. the low points being the aftertaste, the construction, and the unbalanced flavors.

the ash was very flaky and it didnt want to stay lit at a slower pace. if i smoked slow enough that it tasted "ok" it would go out. and if i smoked fast enough that it would stay lit it would turn bitter. i dont think that this was a humidity issue because it had several weeks in my humidor (at a solid 68%) before i smoked it.

overall flavor profile was mostly a spicy musk with bitter coffee noted here and there.

Hop up out 'da bed, light my Swag up...

I'd feel too ghetto for a 5'9" white boy if I smoked something with the word "Swag" in it...
