    What is your favorite Taboo line?

    Looked through the catalogs and searched on line. Have not found anything that grabbed my attention. Holt's has the Usual Suspects sampler which is nice but at $55 it is not a bargain compared to what you could get elsewhere. Anybody find anything good deals out there?
