Taboo Exotic Blend II Maduro Review

Last night I was sitting out on the patio at my local English Pub talking with some old friends frm out of state and I decided to fire up a Taboo Exotic Blend "OB" maduro that I picked up from Rob last thursday it was the last one he had in stock at the time. WOW what a cigar. The burn was straight from the get-go and the flavor came out after the 2nd puff. It was a med cigar with tons of smoke and the flavor just got better the more I smoked it. Two of the wives were sitting with us and both commented on how much they liked the smell. My friends all wanted one but alas it was the only one I had. They all had to settle on some others I had including a Taboo twist and Special forces II (which they both loved)

Sorry no pictures but when Rob gets more of these I will be there! I smoked it to the nub wanting more as it only got better the shorter it got. Any one else tried one of these?

Re: Taboo Exotic Blend II Maduro

Was that the original Exotic blend or II? I've smoked both of them and they are very similar, with the original tasting a little stronger, if I remember correctly. Both are fantastic smokes! Try one of each to determine your fav!

I also like the Exotic ll Maduro,,the longer they sit the better they get,,I think the taste profile is a lot like the Patel edge..

I've got a handful of the EBII robustos sitting in the tupperdore. Sounds like maybe it's time to check one out.

Thanks for the review. :

It was the original blend and yes it does have a similar taste to the edge imho.

Re: Taboo Exotic Blend II Maduro

We just added a few EB Original and EB II to the site. The locals have nearly cleared out this shipment that we received just this morning!
Only the Toro and Torp in the Orig. left.

Get em while you can.
Thanks
Rob

Smoking the Original Blend right now and you are not joking about the smoke, which I absolutely love about it. This torpedo is a slow burning sucker.

Re: Taboo Exotic Blend II Maduro

Haven't tried them yet, but with all the positive talk on this board, I think I know what my next purchase is going to be. Great review BTW!
