Taboo Limited Reserve Connecticut
I have recently gotten a slew of Taboo cigars to smoke and review. Here is the first of the bunch. Smoked just a few hours ago.
Taboo LR Conny- Robusto It has a light wrapper with few small veins and a well applied double cap.  Great draw. Perfect resistance. Earthy sweetness, smooth. Small crack in wrapper near foot. I tasted peanuts about 1/4" in. This only lasted a few puffs then the earthiness took over again.  Crack is gone after burning almost an inch. It never got worse.  Ash is very white. Good volume of smoke. Decent aroma. Nuts have gone. I'd say leather at 1" in. Hasn't gotten hot. Even with just 10-15 seconds between puffs. Actually during the entire smoke, it never got hot on me.  Started getting a jagged burn in places at 1.25", so I ashed it. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...LRConny013.jpg Still very earthy. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...LRConny014.jpg At final third I purged and hit it with the lighter and got a good 10 second flame. This tells me they need to rest for a couple months. I bet the sweetness I got in the beginning would stay throughout at that point. Overall this was a good cigar, worth giving another shot in a couple months. I smoked it about an inch past this point and determined it was too cold outside, so I went back in. lol

Re: Taboo Limited Reserve Connecticut
Thx for the review. Even tho I'm a maduro guy, I was gifted a Conn. toro. Had it one Sunday morning and was very pleased with it. When the Taboos are on, they are great.

Re: Taboo Limited Reserve Connecticut
Thanks everyone! I enjoyed smoking this one as well. I forgot to mention that the jagged burn Just before the first ashing, corrected itself within a few puffs.
