Word coming out of Cuba is that Rodolfo Taboada, legendary for his custom rolled Habanos cigars, has passed at the age of 72 from a heart attack in Havana. (c/p from another forum)

I was lucky enough to have had one of his creations and it is still in my top 10 cigars ever. Thanks to my friend Xibbumbero (X) for that gift.

RIP Taboada

I read that on CF,sad indeed. With him goes all the blend formulas and knowledge.

I watched him roll many cigars. Some of the best I've ever had.

Happy to have been able to share one w/a great BOTL.

Descanse en pas,Don Rodolfo. X

I think he died a week or so ago. Never smoked any of his customs.
