I just finished my first Taboo LR Connecticut Figurado. First of all, let me say that this is a beautiful cigar. I don't think the construction could have been any better. The draw was very nice, if perhaps a little loose. The cigar lit easily with the "nub" at the foot of the cigar. The first third burned a little crooked, but once it got about an inch into the fat part of the cigar it evened itself out. The flavor of the first third is pretty mild. I dropped the first ash at about 2 inches. Then the cigar seemed to pick up some spice and earth tones. The burn remained razor sharp. The final third seemed to gain a bit more spice, and the vitamin N became more noticable. I smoked the cigar right down to my fingertips.
If I have one negative comment, it is that the cigar only lasted about 50 minutes. I am not a hard puffer, and would have thought that a cigar of this size would have lasted longer. This isn't a show stopper for me, just an observation.
Rob, have you considered offering these figurados in a smaller vitola? I'd think a similar cigar in, say, a 4 1/2" x 48 would fly off the shelves.
Overall, this was a very enjoyable cigar. Well recommended.
