Bought a sampler of Taboo sticks and pulled this bg sucker out to try today on my drive up to Thousand Oaks
Descrip: RARE Medium bodied Costa Rican wrapper with Nic Filler. Very FULL FLAVOR.
Smooth wrapper, nice heft to the stick with a big ring gauge. I carefully clipped it and he draw was firm but workable. I carefully toasted the end making sure to get a full burn. Limited smoke. Fired again. Limited smoke. Finally I got it going. The flavor was excellent. I am not much on picking out nuts and berries but I liked this smoke. The burn immediarely went bad and began to become lopsided. I touched it up. Still a problem. Wet the fast burning side and fired the non-burning side again. Still a problem. I worked it and worked and worked it emptying on lighter and on to a second. The darn thing would not burn. It was like half the cigar refused to light and burn. I finally stopped the car, clipped off the huge non-burn section and re-lit again to get a complete light. I tell you I really liked the flavor and wanted this to work. After 30 minutes of battle I gave up and stuffed it in the Ultimate Cigar Ashtray. I guess they call this a Boot Camp business they make you work so hard to get anything ot of it.
I have another so I am hoping this is just a badly made stick. Can't beat the price except I really didnt enjoy the cigar due to the problems.
