Taboo Twist Torpedo

04-25-2009, 10:15 AM

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.

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

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

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

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.

I love em.

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

04-25-2009, 07:39 PM

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

04-25-2009, 09:14 PM

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.

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!

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

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

I really enjoyed this stick. SO Smooth!!!

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.

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

davearob · 04-27-2009, 11:24 AM

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

GTsetGO · 04-27-2009, 11:28 AM
