Oliveros Swag Toro Review

When Rafael talked about this cigar to us, it was an interesting concept.  A moderately inexpensive cigar that came with an opportunity to acquire some swag.  As the old saying goes, "don't judge a book by it's cover", as this cigar has an incredible smoking enjoyment value.

It is draped with a toothy reddish hue wrapper with slight blemishes accented with a tight head and a clean foot.  Construction is perfect resulting in an excellent draw, allowing me to enjoy it's medium to full flavours of cinnamon peppery combined with raisin sweetness and consistent spicy tingle.  The nasal exhale reveals a treat of earthy vanilla caramel.  Totally not what I had initially expected from this cigar marketed as a budget stick, in fact far exceeding my prejudiced notions of how these bargain cigar projects usually turn out.  Oliveros has turned out a sure winner for this after dinner smoke.
