    Anyone Going to Big Smoke Las Vegas??

    I'd love to attend, but it's just a bit pricey for me this year! I'll be looking forward to the reports from all of you lucky gorillas that will be there! :) :chk:chk:chk

    Which Online Retailer Do You Order From?

    I order from CI, Famous, Neptune and Finck's - depending on who has the best deals. I have ordered a number of times from Taboo, but mainly to get their Twists (a favorite of mine) and their Limited Reserve blends. If I want brand name cigars, I tend to buy from my B&M or the former list of big...

    Something I wish Taboo Cigars would do...

    When I get Taboo's (other than Twists and LR's), I put a small blank return address label on the wrapper to tell me what the blend is. I do this on other brands too, especially bundles. You can buy a package of avery or dennison labels at most office supply stores for a couple of bucks. If I...

    $100 at Taboo - what would you do?

    Get some Twists and some Limited Reserves - Both great sticks. I prefer the Toro (6x58) in the Twist and the Figurado in the L-R's. Rob has samplers with both of these... Call them and tell them what you want!! :tu

    Anyone have this Humidor? (and What do you think of it?)

    Another place to check is http://www.bargainhumidors.com/bh/ They have some excellent deals there - I've bought 4 humidors from them. They normally have "imperfects" also and I couldn't find anything wrong with the ones I have bought. :tu Good luck sliding down the slope!!! :chk:chk:chk:chk

    The Newbie 125 Cigar Setup!

    I'd suggest that you use beads. I started out with the humidifiers that came with my humidors; they are filled with green foam that you can soak with solution or distilled water (better and cheaper). I found that I was constantly having to mainain the humidifiers on a weekly or bi-weekly basis...

    Taboo Limited Reserve Maduro Figurado

    Definately order some sticks from Taboo! Rob and his guys are top-notch with their customer service. :tu While my favorite is the Taboo Twist (I've bought 3 boxes of Toros since I first ordered my sampler and I've given almost a box away to fellow gorillas and non-gorillas), the Limited...

    Taboo Limited Reserve Maduro Figurado

    I have to laugh because I came upon this reveiw as I am sitting on my back porch, smoking the exact same stick. :ss I have to agree with Porigitty's review totally, although I'm only 1/2 way through my smoke. I also agree that I'm enjoying the maduro much more than the Havana wrapper that I...

    Do you hate Drew Estates?

    I just bought a box of the Drew Estates Tabak cigars - these are the new coffee infused sticks, and they are really good IMHO. I'm not much on most flavored sticks, but the Drew Estates Java's and the Tabak's are very nice smokes, especially with a nice cup of morning coffee. :tu

    Props to Kioki Cigars and Eric

    :tu I wanted to give some props to Eric and Kioki Cigars for the way they handled a problem that occurred with an order I placed with them. Early last month, Eric announced that he would be accepting pre-orders for the new line of Drew Estates "Tabak" sticks which are coffee infused. Since I...

    What is your favorite Taboo line?

    Taboo Twist Toro - Big 58 RG gives tons of creamy smoke, 6" length makes a nice evening stick before bed. :tu I'm on my second box, and have given at least a quarter of them away to friends and strangers. :chk:chk:chk:chk:chk

    Break-time cigar recommendations?

    I like Macanudo Ascots and Minitures; also you can try Cohiba Pequenos in two wrapper styles. Rocky Patel Juniors are outstanding, I picked up a box of 40 for $29 at C.I. a while ago. Partagas also has some short cigarillos and, if you want to go really inexpensive, you can pick up a tin of Cafe...

    Are Taboo Cigars high-quality?

    As a relatively new smoker, I agree with your quote above 100%! :tu In my case, I have enjoyed the Taboo Twists that I have smoked so far. I haven't even seen a Tat or a Padron yet but I enjoy my Olivas, CAOs, Chateau Reals and La Vieja Habanas from Drew Estates. As I journey down the...

    Thanks Taboo !!

    I have to add my props to Rob and his crew! I placed my order on Friday and received it this morning. The service and the helpfulness of staff with my (probably inane) questions also impressed me. :tu Best of all, I was able to smoke my first Taboo Twist Toro today. Wow! The clouds of...

    Cigar factory outlet

    Jon, I think this place is Downriver somewhere - considering the phone number. The place on Big Beaver and Rochester is the "Detroit Cigar Factory Outlet", run by the Jenuwine family. I've been there a number of times and everyone there was extremely friendly and helpful to me. They just went...
