CAO Eileen's Dream
(2.91)
Inspired by CAO's flavorful Eileen's Dream Cigarillos, this blend begins with a base of quality Virginia and black cavendish leaf and then infuses the same with a frothed cream that's been laced with superior Irish whiskey and coconut milk, followed by a subtle mixture of hazelnut paste, ground almonds, cocoa and vanilla extracts.

Nice smooth and suttle smoke. Definitely got hints of vanilla and chocolate as undertones with the tobacco showing through. Has a pleasant room smell, not overpowering at all. Do wish it had a bit more flavor though. Maybe with some aging that will come through more.

Eileen's Dream has a very sweet tin note. I can pick out the Irish Mist, vanilla, a note of honey and very creamy. The smoke is very mild. I do get some tobacco which is earthy, nutty, slightly wood with a hint of grass. The topping is the star of the show it is very sweet, creamy, notes of honey and alcohol. The chocolate is there and the vanilla is behind it. The hazelnut and almond notes are subtle and come in in the last half of the bowl on the retro-hale. A nice smoke that stays mild the nic hit is not noticeable for me at all and either is the room note. Others failed to comment on it as well so at least it is unoffensive to those around you. It does smoke a little wet and suffered several relights throughout each bowl. It burned just a little warm and because of this it could not be smoked all day but is repeatable without issues.

I like to think we all have guilty pleasures. Something that you really don't want your pipe smoking friends to find out about? Well, one of mine is Eileen's Dream.
I love Irish Creme and this one to my mind brings it home with a touch of vanilla. The tin note is great and that flavor comes through. The key with this one to me is to smoke it slow, barely smoldering and don't let it get hot. It works great in a cob as it will ghost.
This isn't a blend that I'd smoke all day, or even everyday.. but it's nice for when I want something sweet and I have a Country Gentleman cob which I've named Eileen in it's honor.
