"Big, Bold Flavor"
Being a fan of full-flavored cigars I just loved this baby. Shows a almost coal-black wrapper. Rich, full pre-light aromas of earthiness, leather and dark chocolate. Lights and cuts easily with a light, but firm feel. Produces tons of aromatic smoke. Full-bodied, in-your-face flavors of leather, espresso beans, bakers chocolate, molasses, earth and a bit of anise. A few problems with some uneveness and tunneling, but I've only had this in my humi for 2 weeeks. Couldn't wait to try it.

I'll definitely be back for more of these babies!!

"Good Cigar"
Good construction with lots of smoke, decent burn even when smoked in less than ideal conditions. Mild-medium strength with flavors that reminded me more of Dominican tobacco than Nicaraguan. Hints of sweetness in the wrapper, good tobacco flavor over all, not a bad cigar for the money.

"Boot Camp Rocks"
Tried my first Boot Camp blend about a year ago. Unfortunately it wasn't stored properly so I wasn't very impressed but thought I should give it another try. I decided to order directly from Taboo. This time I was thoroughly impressed and have since made this my absolute favorite Maduro. Combined with their impeccable customer service, Taboo Cigars is destined for greatness.

"Very good cigar"
I had one of these after dinner today. It was a good cigar. It had a nice cocoa and spicy taste to it. I would put it at medium-full strength

"Taboo cigars are not to be missed"
These are some fantastic smokes that have a real oily maduro wrapper.. If you can keep them long enough you can be sure they will age so nicely. The problem you will have is not smoking these tasty sticks. Buy them by the bundle because other wise you may not be able to get them being they are often out of stock being they are really catching on.

"Powerhouse flavorful at a great price"
Another winner from Taboo. The Special Forces Original Blend should be enjoyed only after a nice meal. Strong smoke combining earthy and wood flavors with a hint of sweetness. Great construction and draw.

"Not bad...."
I really didn't know what to expect from this one. Looked like quite a interesting mix of filler after cutting the head, dark, light and in between. Drew well and burned fairly straight after a couple early corrections. Woody flavors were prevalent, no real changes but a pleasant flavor overall. A good inexpensive cigar for smoking on the go, like golfing or something similar.

"Boot Camp Blend"
Great oily maduro wrapper that made for a firm cigar, but not too firm. The flavors were great right from the initial lighting. Peppery, nutty, woodsy smoke that only got better the longer it was smoked. The 6x56 size was perfect and had great ash and few burn problems that corrected themselves.

"Boot Camp Version"
I've had two of the Taboo Special Forces 6x56 Toro Maduro BC Blend. According to the owner, these are not as strong as the original blend hence the BC (boot camp). A very good smoke. Very nice rich and mild yet flavorful creamy tobacco taste. A hint of leather but more of a toasty and roasted nutty flavor. Each draw yields mouthfuls of tasty smoke. More spicy and peppery after the first third.
