I just ordered some more twists, as well as some special forces from Rob. Great coupon codes as usual.

I think I'm officially a Taboo HO!!!!

Twist Torps and SFOs are always in my stash. The Twists keep getting better with age.

The Taboo Twist is in my Top 5 NC--the torp & toro size are my favorite vitola, don't like the PC or robusto as much. I just wish I could find the 2 hours I need to smoke them! Very tasty & relaxing, hard to believe it's rolled with just tobacco (where's that ganja smiley when you need it...?!) :ss

Every Taboo I've ever had was great.

I admit I like the twists as well. I thought they were a gimmick, but they are not. They are not a "go to" smoke for me, but I enjoy them as part of the rotation and would recommend that others try them. The awesome customer service that goes along with them makes them even better.

Thanks for the review!

Purchased a box of these in June of last year. Thought they were average so they have been sitting in the cabinet for awhile. After reading this thread, decided to get one out last night. It was excellent. Very nice flavors with a good spice kick to it. The thing that really surprised me was the strength of the cigar. I don't know if it was just the way I was feeling last night but it really kicked my butt!

I agree, letting them rest for a bit really turns it into a straight burning smoke that has morphed somewhat bringing previously undetected flavors to the forefront.

One of us should do a before and after sampling.

I can't store them long enough to let them rest. I just ordered the five size sampler. Want to try the others before I commit to buying a box of Torps.

I clearly need to try a Taboo of any kind. I wish they had them at the B&M... in order to justify any online purchase I end up spending a lot of many to make the shipping worthwhile. The logic is screwy, but it makes sense in my compulsive buying head.

Any cigar out there comparable so I know what I'm getting myself into before I order?

Use one of Rob's coupons and these things get really cheap.

Mike, thank you so much! Ok, my brother and I immediately tore into those toros. Man, these were good. Beautiful construction, burned evenly from start to finish. Lots of creamy smoke, and the draw was absolutely perfect.

Been looking for a new smooth smoke that was more in the middle of the road in terms of strength. This fits the bill. I will have to definitely check out the retail section as I want some of these sitting in my humidor!

Thanks again man. This made my day, as this has been one hell week on campus.

I like the Twist as well, but have not bought any in quite a while. I'd suggest the Taboo HSG too, it's one of my favorites. If you want a fuller bodied smoke try the Special Forces Original.

I didnt like it but it didnt help that I was in a particularly foul mood when I smoked it. I didnt write it off but it makes me mad that I wasted what seems to be the second coming in cigar form.

There is no such thing sir, Different strokes for different folks. That's half the fun of cigars, trying all the different sticks to find the ones you love. :ss
