Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

Nice review! One of these days I am going to buckle down and get me some Taboos. :)

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

Nice review...makes me wanna try more of them. only had the one but it was a good one

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

Pm me your addy....I have some twists you can try.;)

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

I agree!! These are a very tasty & creamy smoke :ss

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

Thanks for the comments about my review... I'm still a newb and trying to broaden my choices and refine my taste buds... LOL

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

I love em.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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! :tu

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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

I really enjoyed this stick. SO Smooth!!!

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

The twist is also one of my favorites. Very consistent. Never had a bad one.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

i still have to try one of these. i have a couple in the humi, i just need to break down and smoke one.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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!!!!

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

Every Taboo I've ever had was great.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

I just ordered some of these...thanks guys!!

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

Very nice smoke

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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!

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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?

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

Rob offers a 5 Size sampler... And always has great coupon codes.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

Rob just posted a sweet deal in the retailer section.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

Jumped on the Taboo sampler. Can't wait to try the others! :) Thanks guys.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

Cool Im glad you enjoyed them.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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.

Re: Taboo Twist Torpedo
 

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
