Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

My link doesn't work and google is no help. Are they no longer selling cigars?

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Marianne! :D

I haven't seen them for sale for some time now....but it sure is nice to see you. :)

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

I've gotten emails from them up to last month, but these were for events at their store/lounge. Perhaps they have concentrated on their lounge as opposed to Taboo brand cigars?

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

I was wondering this too as my link took me to their Facebook page.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Interesting! I remember they were all over the old site toward the end there. They always had great sales going on and the Taboo brand cigars were a pretty solid bang for your buck.

Marianne! How's my favorite author and rabble rouser?

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

I could go for some more Twists

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Last review was January of this year. Could also be closed.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Hi Marianne! We miss you! Hope all is well.

FB page shows recent events. Probably a phone call would be best.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Hello Marianne,

Their web site appears to be no more, but,

it does forward you over to their FaceBook page. I wouldn't know what is on it as I do not belong.

I've sent a number of emails via their old web page and regular email to Rob, regarding if they have plans to eventually bring back the SFO line, but have not had any response from him.

Some of the promotional emails I receive indicate they do receive shipments of the Taboo Twist and HSG in a couple of sizes, and usually, Rob takes pre-orders on these and ships on arrival.

Since they've completed their bar/lounge area, he's been heavily promoting this, but of course, none of us are "locals," and its a heck of a drive from Valencia, CA:D

As Peter mentioned, best thing to do would be to give them a call if you were interested in the Twist or HSG.

Sure do wish they would bring back the SFO line. I believe one of the issues was QC.

Good to hear from you girl!

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

He's been out of Twists longer than I've been checking to re-order some. I miss them.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Rob is still around, but I am not sure for how much longer. I've never been to the shop, even though they are only 5 miles from me. Several of my friends do frequent the Taboo lounge though. From what I heard, the owner has change policies and banned people from taking their own cigars into the store, unless they were bought there. I also understand he was out of many of the regular line of cigars he would normally carry. As for Twist, I may still have a handful. If so, I'll post them for anyone to grab.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Had one last night. I think it was part of a bomb or trade from someone on this site. It was amazing.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

I have had one Taboo...from a trade and it was GREAT!!

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

The only Taboos I ever had were gifts - 4 of them. My $0.02 - they were all hard as tent pegs and the draw was bad on all of them. I chucked them all before the first third. Have never looked back YMMV.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Taboo were my first real contact with the cigar world, I would be REALLY sad if they would go out of business.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

The Taboo Exotic Blend Maduros and the Special Forces Boot Camp and SFC Originals were great sticks. The Twist was a nice mild, creamy stick. These are all hard as hell to find nowadays.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

I heard they were better than Cubans...;)

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

I heard good thing about the Special Forces.

Had several of the other lines, including a couple/few of the Twists. Was not a big fan of the Twists.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

That's not hard to believe. ;)

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Was that him? That's a shame. He always seemed like a stand up guy back in the day on Club Stogie.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

No, that's not the same guy we had with the e-mail recently, is it?

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

I'd have a hard time believing Rob penned that retarded email. It sounds much more on the lines of what this "new owner" would do.
I always thought Rob owned that shop, maybe it's not so?

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Last I remember from Rob was that he got married...

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Rob Worley updated his cover photo July 18 on FB, so I assume he's still around and associated with Taboo

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Well that could explain the radical change!

er.... what's that dear...... No, I didn't say anything..... No, honestly.

Sorry guys, gotta run!!:r

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Glad it is not just me lost in cyberspace. I loved the SFO...nice big fat torpedo perfect for fishing. A good 2 hr smoke. And affordable. A good smoke at a good value.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Hey Mark. How's things? We might be coming your way soon. Our grandson just got a job and apt. in your town. I need to hook him up with the locals so he can get a life :)

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Really loved those SFO. I have one left that is due for cremation soon. And those Twists were something else.
Great Smokes.:cf2

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Nice! The guest room is always at your ready.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

He still owns the shop and the brand.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Emails still come from Rob, Becky and Dan.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Hello Inmates!!! I see some old familiar folks on here and I just wanted to say, "Hello"! This was my favorite online cigar forum back when we were working the online business before the Taboo Bar opened. There are some really great people on this forum and I will try to check in here more often. I have been working on marketing our bar more online and ran across this thread.
Anyway, while I'm here I will give everyone an update on the Taboo World. But, first I would like to thank all of you that have done business with us and those of you that are thinking about it.
Since the economy went in the toilet and we lost a ton of mail order customers, our focus shifted to building the Taboo Cigar Bar & Lounge. After just over two years since opening we have just crossed the break even point and should be doing well by this time next year.
We DO NOT kick people out for smoking cigars not purchased from us as long as they are purchasing beverages from the bar. We have kicked out customers for being disrespectful to others and recently kicked out our 5th largest customer for just that. Ha, the fun of dealing with drinkers! Some folks need to just give up hard liquor!
As far as Taboo Cigars go, the Twist and the HSG blends DOMINATE SALES over any brand we have in the humidor when they are in stock. Our cost have drastically gone up on these two blends and we only run about 1000 at a time. The good news is I think the quality is more consistant. We have been selling most all of it local and a couple of times we have pre sold the entire shipment before we get them. (Twist)
Well, I am NOT here to sell anything I really just wanted to give you guys an update and say Hello and Thank You for talking/thinking about us. I will be back to work on Tuesday and would love to talk to any of you if you want to call me. We are expecting a shipment of Twist soon and we will send out an email when they clear customs and pre sell. We currently have a Huge Deal on Taboo HSG Torpedo, 5 for $25. It's really a local deal and not on our website TabooCigars.com but for you guys, call Dan on Monday or Me on Tuesday and if we have any left, we will make sure you get the deal.
Thanks for reading and Have a VERY Blessed Day!
Rob

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Happy to hear the Taboo is still around. Sounds like the focus has shifted from cigar production to the shop itself. Dang economy! I still remember winning a bundle of SFO Lanceros from a drawing at the old club stogie days. Man, those are probably a good 5-6 years old now.... Really should pull some out to smoke.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Glad things are looking up for you guys! Some great cigars you've got.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Great to hear! I've been missing the Twists!

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Are they still better than Cubans?

:hy

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Glad to hear you guys are doing well. I've only had 1 of your cigars before and it was amazing. I think I might have one laying around some where. I'll have to dig through my humidors and see if i can find it.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Sweet! I can't wait to get my hands on some Twist Robustos when they are back in stock.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Funny this post popped up as I just came across the Special Forces Boot Camp in my humidor this morning and smoked it while washing the cars. I forgot how much I enjoyed those. Too bad it was my last.:bhd Doen to one lonesome Twist too.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

We sent hundreds of these to the troops back when Fred was doing the shipping.

Re: Are Taboo Cigars gone?
 

Hey, Adam

Bazinga!!

(That was funny...)
