Perhaps the reviewers just don't enjoy them as it doesn't agree with their tastes. That is the great thing about cigars. One person might love a smoke another hates. No one is wrong.

Agree 100%. Taste is very subjective and very personal. One cigar blend can never please everyone. I can still remember when a blind taste test was done years ago that I participated in. 50 people were each sent 5 cigars with bands removed and banded with just "A", "B", "C", etc). Folks were asked to rate the cigars on visual appeal, aroma, taste, and finish. The funny thing is over 50% of the folks I remember (including myself) did not like the last cigar ("E"). It was full bodied bordering on harsh, one dimentional, and bitter to the palate from midway until the end. I pitched mine after the first inch.
Turns out that "E" was a super premium that was recently released. It was an Opus X Perfection #5. If memory serves me right, the one folks liked the best overall was a $4.00 cigar made by Bahia.
Its true that one mans "go to" cigar is anothers mans dog rocket. Its as true 20 years ago as it is today.
Not meant to be a slam on Taboo or their products in any way, but I can probably be safe to say the line wont suit my palate. Over the years I have come to know what I like & since I dont smoke as often as I used to, I reach for something I will almost be guaranteed to enjoy.
So the bottom line is smoke what you enjoy & enjoy what you smoke, whatever that may be.
