Quick Smoke: SWAG SoBe Edition Infamous
30 Dec 2012
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.†This Quick Smoke is part of our “Win a Big Box of Cigar Swag†contest. Leave a comment and be subscribed to our free email newsletter to enter. Full details here.
About the only negative comment I have about this cigar is that the double bands and emblazoned tissue paper packaging hide a gorgeous wrapper with a lovely aroma. An all-ligero Dominican puro, this slow burning stick is a great combination of spice and sweetness in a medium-strength package. Not always easy to find, it’s well worth tracking down for a great change of pace.
Verdict = Buy.

I have smoked the first SWAG that came out in '11, I think, it was a little strong for me, but good.
I have had the Puro Dominico SWAG, and it was great, but I haven't had a chance to try these yet. The original was very strong and flavorful.
I like a stronger smoke with my bourbon, will have to look for a couple of these.
I'm more of a medium guy but this looks like it might be worth a look at. Should be easy to spot with those bands on it.
sounds good but whats the price on these?
Dear sirs,
Wonderful review of a good cigar.
Amicalement,

The bands are really turning me away but I guess I can't judge the cigar just by that. Won't be going out of my way to pick one up though.
