Taboo Twist Torpedo Review

This cigar was gifted to me by my good friend ir13. Thanks a lot Joey. It was a good stick.



When I first looked at the cigar it reminded me of the CAO America, but it has much better coloring. This stick also has more oil and feels better constructed. I was impressed.

Check it out.




Cool looking cap.






Really nice looking foot. Sorry about the charred part. My friend was goofing around and started torching it a little before I could get a picture.






The first inch of this cigar was very nice. For my taste buds, it was more medium to mild but good. very good actually. It kind of tasted like honey tobacco. There was definitely a hint of honey to the taste.





The second third of the cigar kept the honey taste but added a little nicotine to enhance the flavor a little. The second third smoke long and nice.






The final third of the cigar lost the nicotine and went back to the honey taste. Nice finish.





The nub got a little harsher than I like, but it was not enough to ruin the experience.


The construction was solid. The shes were long. I had to touch up the cigar once. The two mixed wrappers started to separate towards the middle. but not bad enough to bother me. This one separated much less than the CAO.


I really enjoyed this cigar. I would rate it an 8.6 out of 10. I really am waiting for the Culebra Taboo though. That is the stick i can't wait to taste.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo

I had one Friday night during and after grilling some brats. I compared it to the CAO Americana also. I found the twist to be a far superior smoke. It ended a little harsh for me too, but otherwise a good stick for the price.
Thanks for the review and pics.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo

After I got home from work last night, I had a voice mail waiting for me, telling me the Twists were in. I just placed my first order for some Twists and SFBCs. I can't wait, especially after seeing this review!

This cigar is back in stock and we have a 25% coupon the Retail section.
I have smoked each of the Rob, Toro and Torp. The Robusto is the best it has ever been and the others are perfect.
