Taboo Twist Torpedo

04-25-2009, 11:15 AM

Just finished my first Taboo Cigar and I must say... It was AMAZING.

Really enjoyed this torpedo. Very steady burn with one minor touch-up.

Extremely creamy with a chocolate undertone for the first two-thirds. The final third was a blast of chocolate with some coffee under tones.

I really enjoyed this and can't wait to try some of the other Taboo's that are in the Humi.

P.S. This is my first shot at a review.

The Twist is still a cigar a reach for again and again.

A great line of cigars, I've only ever had 1 bad Taboo.

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.

Good review, it brought some light to my eye. I agree the Taboo line of cigars is a good brand, I reach for them regularly.

G G · 04-25-2009, 02:15 PM

I love em.

04-25-2009, 02:20 PM

I love the Twist but I got some of the original Twist petite coronas and they were not good for my taste. Very different.

04-25-2009, 08:39 PM

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy them. What kind of taste did they have??

04-25-2009, 10:14 PM

The best way I can describe it is "burnt". Like overly roasted coffee, maybe. It's from the filler. I took one apart to see what was up. The bigger vitolas have a different mixture in them. The PCs might even be different now.

I keep hearing great things about Taboo. not a big fan of barber poles but if they're good, I don't care what they look like. I guess it's time to go ahead and pull trigger on one of their samplers.

glad you enjoyed it!

groogs · 04-25-2009, 11:13 PM

The twists are good, and the customer service at Taboo is GREAT!

04-26-2009, 01:45 AM

+1 for the customer service. Top notch... And super fast shipping.

I really enjoyed this stick. SO Smooth!!!

Great people, no doubt.

I also highly recommend the Special forces and Special forces boot camp. I'm a big RG guy, rarely do I buy anything under 54RG. I was bombed some Taboos by BOTL Tenor CS. Included was a SFBC churchill. 52RG, if I remember correctly.

It was amazing.

I really like the Twists. It tastes like cake icing and nutmeg.
