We had our state meet - 3 day meet - last weekend and I'm not going to Nationals, so I tapered for the state meet. I must have done something right because I had significant drops from previous swims within the last 12 months.
Due to personal and professional reasons, I couldn't swim until today - 4 day break and I felt awful. My arms felt like lead, swimming was a huge effort and my pace time was way off.
Was this just a bad workout or is there post-taper let down?

I've had the same experience. Sounds like you hit your taper just right.
