Got to try a new stick from Oliveros tonight. This is the SWAG Toro.

Overall, I think this stick could turn out to be a really good stick with some down time. It took a little work to get a good draw at the beginning but once I did it started out really great. Lots of spice right out of the box. About a quarter inch in it mellowed out a bit but still had very good flavors. At the halfway point it fell flat a became mediocre at best but I think this was due to being fresh honestly. I would like to grab a few of these and put them down for a nap and see how they mature. If the flavors that I had at the beginning of the stick lasted the whole way through this stick would have been a home run.

When I saw the thread's headline I immediately started thinking "Tatuaje Swag"!

Thanks for the review and thanks for sharing your thoughts with us John!

I've got the lancero and corona resting. Sounds interesting. They used alot of ligero and their intent is to make you think you are smoking a cigar from Nica instead of a Dom puro. Prices are decent too. Made by Oliveros
FWIW, I think the name is a little lame and they have overdone it with presentation. IMO.
