Taboo Limited Reserve Figurado
 

I picked up the New Sampler from Rob at Taboo and decided today was a great day to light one up. I chose the Limited Reserve Figurado (With a Connecticut Wrapper?)

Construction was nice, the wrapper had a few areas that were flaking and coming apart, it seemed VERY delicate so I resisted doing a squeeze test. I love lighting the figurados the small foot makes it easy and almost impossible for me to screw up.

The draw was super easy with plumes of bright white smoke coming from both ends. My first impression was "This is a very Light and Mild smoke" I didn't notice any spice, I got a hint of earthiness but could definitely taste the tobacco. This was a morning smoke for me (Which I hardly ever do) so it was accompanied by my Frappuccino Coffee, which really brought out what I can only describe as "Buttery Sweetness" in the cigar.

During the 2/3 my nose picked up some spice (When Snorking) it was still mild and light. The burn stayed perfectly even through the whole cigar. The ash was grayish white and hung well 1"- 1.5" (Who doesn't love a "Well Hung" Ash :rolleyes: ) I smoked it to the Nub.

Summary: This was a very nice smoke. Construction was solid, the delicate wrapper made me a bit nervous but it held together. It was light and mild, I found it great as an AM smoke with sweet coffee. Burn, Draw and volume of smoke was spot on!

Thanks Rob,
Ryan

thanks for the comments... Rob at Taboo had a great discount going on, I think he still has a 25% off going on (Don't quote me on that LOL) I got the 6 Pack limited reserve sampler for around $25 bucks.
