Default Taboo Ecuadorian Connecticut

It has been a while since I did a review with pics, so here it goes. This is another very good cigar from Taboo. Thanks Rob! I bought the sampler of these a few months ago and this was the robusto from the sampler. It smelled pretty good, but I couldt not pinpoint any flavors from the prelight draw. The cap cut neatly and the foot toasted easily. There were no large veins in this cigar. There was a very mild flavor in the beginning. A very light peppery note about .25" in. It is burning well. I drank a throwback pepsi with this.



I couple of other flavors present themselves, but at this time they escape me. They were by no means bad though. I was really enjoying this one. I ashed it after this pic in fear of it falling on me. I don't use an ash tray. Just toss them over the porch railing. lol


Right around here something very interesting happened that really kept my interest and made me nub this cigar. It tasted exactly like one of those chewy caramel cube candies. It was light, but it was delicious! I am looking forward to my next Ecuadorian connecticut from the sampler!

Absolutely guys. It is definitely worth a try! I would call it a mild-medium in strength/flavor.
