Another one of my "reports" on CAO's Flavour line which I do because I feel like the new gourmet take on flavoured smokes deserves an honest take, to break the stigma that flavoured cigars suck, because these are something good. Do I prefer them to regular smokes? No, but they are a pleasureable alternative, to be judged in equal yet seperate circumstances.
I started the day with a cup of coffee and an Eileen's Dream Corona, which turned out to be one of my more favorite selections from CAO's line. It lit with two matches and I was rewarded with a delicate flavor of white chocolate. The usual sweetness on the lips was much less pronounced than normal.The flavour continued to strenghten and then fade into light notes of Irish Cream, which played well with my coffee. This actually became better toward the very end when the heat made the flavors concentrate.
The burn was as with most CAOs, wavey for the first inch but level off very well with that lovely carbon rim. The cigar itself seemed to warm up between the fingers which was a nice touch. The smoke volume was minimal but became dense, which I would normally say is a con but these CAOs tend to do that, but its not a problem because it's so delicious.This is probably one of my more favorite of the flavours as it it produces a lovely mouth feel, as you breath out it's like your mouth was lined with chocolate flavored silk which is just wonderful.
CA Scale? About 89, a damn good flavoured smoke.
