Don't know what this is. I love it. I'm pretty sure it is a 6x60. Band is silver metallic with a design of criss-crossing lines.

Re: What am I smoking? Taboo what?

I would guess a Taboo Limited Reserve. The Limited Reserve Havana and Limited Reserve Maduro both have a wrapper that looks similar to the pic.

Re: What am I smoking? Taboo what?

This is a pet peeve of mine. They send you a sampler of smokes
you never seen before and most all have the same damn wrapper !!

Re: What am I smoking? Taboo what?

Whenever I got a sampler from Taboo, The plastic wrapper has usually stated what the cigar is. But the Taboo your smoking does look like a Special Forces, but that is lighter than the ones I have. It could just be a regular maduro from them?

Yeah the special forces are almost black.

EDIT: Meant to say special forces original - not sure about the other one.

Re: What am I smoking? Taboo what?

Looks like a SFBC, though it could be an HSG too. The hsg's have a very nutty, almost caramel flavor too them, while the SFBC kept making me think of marshmallows the whole time I was smoking them, especially on the finish. The wrapper on the HSG's are typically extremely oily and shiny, while the SFBC I had was a little rougher and dryer looking on the exterior. The SFBC is a med-full cigar, while the HSG is much more mild-med. I don't know if any of that helped or not, but good luck finding out. Taboo makes a quality smoke, and both the SFBC and HSG are very tasty.

Re: What am I smoking? Taboo what?

I just looked through my coolerdor, it doesn't look like a SFBC. I am thinking it could be a HSG as well.

I think if I ever take the wrapper off the cigar to put in my humidor, I'll put a sticker on the band letting me know what it is!

Btw MrMusicMan, I'm going to try to smoke the Exotic Blend II tonite. It smells a little more full flavored than the original Exotic Blend, But I'm sure its gonna be another great cigar by Taboo.
