Taboo Costa Rica Maduro Review

I found this jewel deep in the bottom of my humi that had rested since 1/20/08. This cigar is the "Toro", 6X50. Costa Rican Maduro wrapper with Cuban Seed Filler & Binder from Nicaragua. $4.25/Stick from www.taboocigars.com. This baby has a sweet, rich, pre-light aroma. Initial taste of spice, followed by that sweet, rich maduro flavor. Burn and draw were perfect & even throughout! This smoke was very complex, starting out with a sweet, rich taste & aroma with a hint of spice, then developed towards the second half of the stick into leather, cedar, and woodsy taste with hints of spice throughout the rest of the smoke. Duration of smoke: 1.5 hours. Overall rating 10/10! One of my new favorites from Taboo! Thanks again, Rob, for producing such tremendous smokes!
 
Thanks for the review. This one is blended by Oliva. I think this blend has been overlooked here at CS. Great stick if you like mild-med IMO.

Bought a sampler a couple days ago, smoked my first one last night. You hit the nail on the head with this review. This smoke was fabulous. The best Cigar I've had in a while. I used my punch and it had a perfect draw. Mine burned a little uneven but it was probably the way I lit up. If you haven't tried this cigar, you are missing a GEM! THANKS AGAIN ROB!
