  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I have always heard about how great the Taboo Twists were because of the barber pole tobacco. I wouldnt mind trying one but so far haven't pulled the trigger. Will let some of the brothers on here try it before I go down that road.

Of course, some may consider the Vieja Tradicion cigars that I reported on to be taboo. :) Had a second one the other day and it was quite good.

I won some Taboo cigars on Club Stogie. They're decent, though I don't think I'd buy more at the retail price. The Twist is tasty if you like milder smokes.

If you PM me with your address, I'll send you a couple of Taboo cigars to try.
Asher...check your PMs. A small repayment long overdue coming your way.

Taboo lists the Bootcamp as the milder of the two Special Forces blends! I noticed that both blends are now available as lanceros. I think I'll have to order a few of those.

EDIT: I just found some coupon codes, in case anyone else is interested:

30% OFF until 12/31/08
30ALLTABOO
*It is ok to use this code if the majority of the single sticks are Taboo Cigars. It is not required to be all Taboo.

& FOR ANY ORDER:
This next code can be used until 12/31/08 for any order:
20ANYORDER

I guess Rob from Taboo read my comment on this thread, he PMed me awhile back. We exchanged a few PMs and then I gave him a call we talked about my cigar preferences and I ordered a few of the Special Forces and Habano Sun Grown. I have now smoked three of each, and I must say they are pretty nice, and the price is excellent for what you get. He said they get alot of their wrapper from Olivia, I am really enjoying both of those sticks and will probably order more. They both have tastey wrappers, so I am going to give the Lancero a try.

I was recently sent one of these by a BOTL, I am sorry that i cannot recall who sent me what at this point and i have already smoked it so my blank band that i put who sent it to me is gone. Anyway, It was a maduro belicoso and I found it to be quite nice. I would love to try a few more before making a decision but my initial impression is good.

I decided to buy the TABOO CIGARS VARIETY 10pk PREMIUM SAMPLER with the 30% coupon code (thank you :waving:) and it was under $30. Pretty good value but we'll just have to wait and see if I like them.
