CAO Flavours

So when Nate went to L. J. Peretti (a huge cigar store in Boston) earlier today, he brought me back a cute little box of CAO Flavours cigarillos. They are "Eileen's Dream", which is white chocolate truffle and Irish cream. They smell overwhelmingly of coffee, which is kinda weird, since they aren't coffee flavored, but I digress. They taste really smooth and have a faint taste of white chocolate, which lingers on your lips and tastes really good when you lick your lips. Plus, they come in this really cute little metal box, that I have to figure out what to do with, because it's way too cute to throw away. They are also really short and thin, so they're a good short smoke and good for cigar newbies like myself.

Comment by Justina on February 5, 2009 at 2:11pm: Eileen's Dream are my absolute favorites! I try to have those on hand at all times, like you said, they are a good short smoke. I also like to pass them out to those that are hesitant or intimidated by larger cigars. If you liked Eileen, as Salvador mentioned above me, you should try Moontrance, those are pretty darn good as well.

I find that the tins are fun for desk items like paper clips, or random things like buttons.... wow, after typing that I feel too overly girlie.. I'm gonna go smoke. :) Woo!

Comment by Salvador Ortega on February 4, 2009 at 1:13pm: I love the Eileen's Dream cigarillos but my favorite is the Moontrance. The tin is nice and convenient and I used to duck out to smoke a cigarillo on my too-short lunchbreaks for a former employer. I used to use the tin to store business cards from contacts I didn't want to lose.

During my last trip to Boston (which I am embarrassed to say was about 3-1/2 years ago!), I stopped in there and bought a handful of cigars. The afternoon I was there, the store was having an event - I honestly can't remember what brand it was for, but I got a free cigar out of it, which was cool.

I haven't had Eileen's Dream, but I've had Karma Sutra Splash in the cigarillo size. I bought them as something I could smoke during smoke breaks when I go out to clubs/bars, but in offering them to my friends, they couldn't get over the name or the many different flavors that were supposed to be infused into them. Maybe I'll try Eileen's Dream next time, although that name also doesn't have much to do with what flavors are in that, either.
