Swag Cigar
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.

Re: Swag Cigar

Re: Swag Cigar
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.

Re: Swag Cigar

Re: Swag Cigar
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.

Re: Swag Cigar
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.

Re: Swag Cigar
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.

Re: Swag Cigar
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... |
