Had this as my first half Monday night football cigar. Nice looking stogie. Recommended by the owner of my lounge. Burn was great and slow. Excellent draw. Initial impression was very bitter. But it smoothed out very quickly. Half inch maybe. Good flavors very toasty. Very consistant in...

I've heard very little about this cigar here and was actually a little apprehensive thinking maybe no one is talking because it was not so hot. Wrong This stogie on prelight have a pleasant sweetness and easy draw. Upon lighting that gentle sweetness stayed. Not too much. And a smooth creamy...

This cigar pleasantly surprised me. I thought it would be very mild, even a little sweet. It had a nice liguero bite, not too much. It was smooth and flavorful. More med, than mild. The smoke had what I can only describe as a dry taste, kind of like wine is dry. It was pleasant. Burn was...

Late night stogie. Enjoying this even more than the robusto. Smoother amd just as much flavor. This guy may creep into my 4s with the SF boot camp. Becoming a true taboo lover. Hell have become. I don't think I've ever come across a line so onexpensive that was so good. Even the sticks I...

Fantastic mild stogie. Great sun grown goodness. This stogie came off smooth and easy. I prefer a stronger smoke but this guy is nice. Smooth medium flavors with a little power towards the end. I didn't bother purging this stick. It never got bitter. Or harsh. Once again a quality stick from...

Ok got my legend sampler from taboo and couldn't resist a EB OTT. Prelight is nice. Smooth tasting yet ugly wrapper. There were a few little holes in it but nothing to complain about. Just made it ugly. Draw is fantastic. Initial impressions. Smoother than expected. Flavorful. Almost warm...

Omar ortez original torpedo Nice looking stick. Great burn and draw. Smooth flavor in the smoke and easy through the nose. I find myself really wanting to like this stick but there is an acidic aftertaste that is really putting a damper on it. About halfway through the acid taste falls away...

Monday night football cigar 2 Perdomo 2 Initial impression smooth and a little sweet. Great draw (no surprise for a perdomo). Burn nice and even. Nice and easy through the nose. Some power building through the middle but staying very smooth and keeping that touch of sweetness. Power...

Monday night football first half stogie. Perdomo patriarch. Initial impressions. Very smooth. Rich flavors. Easy through the nose. This is a bad mama Jama. Staying smooth through the middle of the stick great maduro flavors. Coffee. Chocolate. Loving this stick. Excellent burn very well...

Who else finds it hilarious that the CI catalog has a 2 dollar price tag on it. I mean has anyone ever paid for one? Is it some sort of tax dodge?

With some sadness my taboo weekend comes to an end with the LR Havana figurado. This stick is smooth and flavorful. Mild to med. Some ligureo bite. Overall good smoke. Legend rating 3. Looking forward to the legend taboo sampler. Will order tomorrow.

Continuing the legend taboo weekend thanks to Kevin (savor the stick) Twist toro. Maybe its that the Vikings played like crap and I'm feeling bitter. Because what I read here eveyone likes the twist the best. And they are pretty close. But I really liked the taboo SF boot camp. This comes in...

Continuing my taboo weekend thanks to Kevin (savor the stick) who bombed me with a bunch of taboos when he saw my post. Special forces boot camp. Liking this stick. Liking it a lot. While not as full strength as the original I reviewed yesterday it is smoother and has more flavor. Very rich...

Continuing my taboo weekend. Thanks to Kevin(savor the stick) The taboo LR is very nicely crafted. Initially burned a little fast but slowed after the first inch. Ash held to well after halfway point but so did a bite that wasn't particularly my taste. Mellowed after halfway had almost citrus...

Late night stogie Decided to try the 2nd of a bomb from a friend Flavor is mild. Burn is fast. This cigar is decent not fantastic. For less than a buck retail I don't expect much more. I give it a 2. Yard gar. But a low 2. My other go to yard gars. Perdomo slow aged (which almost begs to...

The big bad 6x60 A friend here in town saw my post about taboo and decided to bomb me. Thank you Kevin (savor the stick) Initial impression. Nice draw. Little spicy. Unexpected smoothness from the flavor. I thought it would be harsher. A lot of the spice is on the wrapper itself not in the...

I see a lot of love here for taboo cigars which, frankly, I never heard of prior to coming here. I see the owner posting here so I am assuming he's new trying to break into the market what not. So those of you who lie taboo. What is your suggestion to try it out. I prefer big flavor and...

For a long while I tried tons of cigars. Then I started to gravitate to just certain ones. So I said to myself. You're getting lazy. Don't want to explore or think. So back to lots of different ones. But I find myself looking for the same 15 smokes all the time again. Got my go to cheap ones...

I know a lot of people here swear by "aging" a cigar. 6 months a year. "this cigar is really good with 6 months in the humi" I wonder how much of this is psychological? My experience is "aging" mellows a cigar. A bit. I see it working on say fresh rolled by perdomo. But for the most part...

Now this is another old favorite of mine. Smoking it as my post Vikings victory smoke. Again not the easiest smoke to get. I bought 2 boxes from my source in Miami and got the very cool wodden boxes with it. 8 year old cameroon wrapper very delicate. Nic and peruvian tobacco. Smooth. Very...
