CAO Moontrance
(2.95)
Moontrance is the most popular cigar in the CAO Flavours line, and the taste translates beautifully to this unique pipe tobacco. The Virginia/black cavendish blend uses the sweet influence of exotic fruit flavors and one of the richest of all vanillas- Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar. This is a one of a kind aromatic.

I smoked this twice from two different pipes. The first, in a no name briar pipe that I restored and the second in a MO Meerschaum MacArthur style corn cob. The second was that pipe's first ever smoke. Right when you light up, you're met with cool mellow smoke with a fleeting taste. It isn't completely tasteless, but as other reviewers have said it takes some slow inhales and nose exhales to really catch the flavor. This last until about a fourth of the way into the pipe when I experienced a rich, fruit taste. In the briar pipe this lasted, quite enjoyably, for the rest of the smoke. In the corn cob, it did come but was only there for about an eighth of the rest of the bowl. I definitely enjoyed this more out of my briar pipe than my corn cob but it was an extremely good smoke with very little bite. One of the few tobaccos I've smoked that didn't draw disgusted comments from my Mother! In the end, it is a good blend to smoke if you are a fan of aromatics, but stay away if you tend to enjoy english blends more.

The vanilla and honey flavors come through well. The fruit flavor is sweet but not overwhelming.

This is a farily run-of-the-mill vanilla aromatic. In addition to vanilla I seem to detect a touch of coconut. The flavoring is subtle though. It smokes fine, but I just don't see anything remarkable enough to recommend here. There are plenty of better aromatics out there.

As a newer pipe smoker, I am mainly exploring the different blends (I favor aromatic blends, although I am dipping my toes into the non-aromatic blends now) to find what I like. Opening the tin, what I smelled was vanilla and liquor. The flavor I tasted was mostly vanilla and not much/if any of the liquor. I did not have any tounge-bite with this blend.
