Taboo Barberpole Revisited....

Well, im not going to make this very formal. Because i'm here to report back about the brand that is Taboo.

The Backstory:

I recently smoked a less-than-average Taboo and i wrote a review about it. After a huge response about "you need to try another" because i got a bad lemon. I tried another one tonight at the annual Columbus Ohio Christmas Herf.

Well, i am completely satisfied.

The cigar smelled great. the burn was perfect, and the draw was very perfect. The exterior was flawless and soft. The taste was very pleasing and it "quenched" my draw/smoke needs. The flavor was bold and consistent.


I an't say enough about Taboo's customer service and Rob is more... MORE than a stand up guy.


The cigar started out very nice and smooth, moved gradually towards heated and spicey, and finished hot like i like them. I cannot rave enough about how good and even the burn and draw were.

This cigar was a very good example of quality and construction. It didn't let me down even for a cigar that had mainly a one sided flavor. It wasn't very complex, but it didn't need to be. it was straight forward and the ash stayed on forever. Thats quality!








thank you taboo

- Bobby

Right on Bobby! Glad to see you enjoyed it. I just ordered a 6 pack sampler of the Costa Rican Maduros from those guys.

I can't wait to try 'em.

Have a great weekend Bobby!

Re: Taboo Barberpole Revisited....

As much as I like the Twist I had a 6X60 Limited Reserve with the Habano 2000 wrapper last week that knocked my socks off. If you the large ring gauge cigars give this one a try, you will not be sorry.

Re: Taboo Barberpole Revisited....

Well if you like the "barber pole" you should try the twist.

Re: Taboo Barberpole Revisited....

I ordered a big sampler from Taboo last month. I can't decide what to smoke first.
