Do you love Taboo cigars? Shame on you!

I've never had one, so I wanted to figure out where I should start. I turned to arguably one of the most comprehensive review databases, Top25cigar, to help me. Know what I found?

21 vitolas are listed for Taboo. Yet there are only 5 reviews! This is shameful.

With all the accolades Taboo seems to receive here, I think everyone should post reviews at Top25cigar to help spread the word about the quality product. Sure, it may result in quicker sell-outs, but don't we owe it to Rob for all he's done for CS members?

I didn't even know anyone had listed Taboo on Top25.

Excellent point.
But I agree not because we owe Rob. I agree because the Top25 database is made up of reviews of regular folks like us. Not some paid reviewer who has to push a cigar the publisher has taken advertisement money from.

Put your reviews out there for all your smokes.

Re: Do you love Taboo cigars? Shame on you!

It is kind of odd that there can be 120 reviews of a Padron or Fuente and some good cigars barely draw a peep - I'm thinking of some of the Padillas, for example. Not sure why. But it's a good point and, since I have some Taboo Special Forces on the way, I'll commit to posting a review.

Another point.
Reviews should be posted on cigars that you don't care for, too. It's the balance of opinions that makes the resource worthwhile.

Good points, pnoon. I didn't mean to imply that reviews should be adulatory simply because of Rob's generous nature. My only point is that after reading so many glowing reviews of Taboo cigars on CS, I think we're doing a disservice to Rob by not sharing them with the broader community.

Although, one could argue why every cigar smoker isn't a member of CS!

Honduran Sun Grown Torpedo is not listed in the database.
So I filled out the form to get it added.
Once its up, or I review another of the Taboo cigars already available, I will post reviews up there as well.

Maybe we don't want the word to get out so we can keep them all for ourselves.
