Taboo packaging compliment!

Thanks to an excellent packing job, what could have been a problem turned out to have a happy ending. I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story...

Taboo does not play when the pack stuff up. Every time I buy from them I feel like the cigars are indestructible. More props to taboo

All's well that ends well, in this case anyway.

Great job Rob, Patrick and Dan!

Those are:
5 Taboo Special Forces Originals 6 X 50
5 Taboo Limited Reserve Connecticut Figurados
5 Taboo Dominican Maduros 6 X 50
5 Oliva Series V Torpedos
5 La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel Gordos

Respectfully,
Michael

Yeah They do wrap nice.

Their packages are bomb-proof

This is a great thread to throw in my 2c. I recently had a little packaging incident too from a taboo shipment. Unfortunately, not even their packing could save it (actually, two cigars inside decided to fight it out and both lost their caps). Patrick took care of it VERY quickly for me. These guys are awesome all around!

Taboo, by far, does the best packing job. Bar none. It's almost funny when the package arrives. But I've seen enough posts here of how bad some of the parcels arrive, that I realize this is necessary. But how disgusting that the post office treats our parcels so shabbily!

Yeah, it is almost comical how well he packages the cigars, but they always arrive in great condition.

Top notch in every respect.

Fine BOTLs, great product and excellent packaging. I only wish that the packaging and/or fresh cigars didn't smell like stale smoke.

colimo · 05-20-2009, 03:49 PM

agreed....got shipment fast from them

05-20-2009, 03:59 PM

I often places orders from Taboo just because I'm running low on packaging materials...

Yes, the bubble wrap and box may smell like cigar smoke ( we do not allow cigarette smoking in our shop ) since we smoke in the shipping room, but we DO NOT make a habit of smoking in the humidor, so the cigars themselves are fresh.

If anyone ever has any issues, PLEASE let me know..

Have a safe holiday weekend to everyone!
