CAO Eileen’s Dream starts with top-quality tobaccos - specially selected Virginias and slowly steamed black Cavendish. The flavor profile is completed by the introduction of two sweet and smooth treats- the taste of Irish cream liqueur and white chocolate truffles. Fans of soft, subtle aromatics will go wild over CAO Eileen's Dream.
The room note on this blend is worth the price of admission. The flavors are well-balanced and not harsh, overpowering, or chemically. Small sips are rewarded with a Bailey's-like flavor. Very pleasant, cool smoke. Can't wait to try the other CAO blends.
This tobacco gets a 7 out of 10 rating from me. I ordered this as part of a CAO sampler that also included Moontrance and Black. I liked them all, but out of the three this was my least favorite. Both the flavor and room note are VERY sweet. If you are looking for a sweeter aromatic you should definitely give this a try! Personally I find myself tending toward the more mildly sweet aromatics that retain more of a natural tobacco taste with only hints of sweetness. This blend, for all its delicious sweetness, made it difficult to even taste the tobacco aspect of the smoke at all! *lol* I would have given this blend a 6 out of 10 rating were it not for the heavenly ROOM NOTE. Every single time I smoked this tobacco everyone around me (mostly non smokers) told me how wonderful it smelled and could not help but scoot a little closer to me to catch more frequent whiffs. If you are looking for an attractive fragrance that you can SMOKE instead of perfume to wear...I highly recommend this blend! People will absolutely be uncontrollably drawn to you (or at least that was my experience) while you are smoking it. Kevin Kostner's dream was "If you build it, they will come"....Eileen's Dream is "If you SMOKE it, they will come"!
It's okay. I can definitely taste the Irish Cream. Gave me a bit of tongue bite.
A lot of good reviews of this blend... The aromas and flavors developed midway to the end of the smoke & after I finished the bowl(s), the cool outside air allowed the Irish Cream and Chocolate notes to come through my nose... The Black Cavendish lends a sweet treat but not to sweet.
I really love this stuff and will be ordering more. I can taste the Irish cream and the Virginias sweetens it up nice. There is zero bite and it is smooth as silk. I smoke on my porch and the mail woman told me she could smell this down the block and thought someone was baking. The room note is absolutely fabulous! I'll be buying more of this one.
Just received my tin of Eileen's Dream today,OMG,the white chocolate with hints of Irish cream is off the charts with taste, I've smoked the CAO black with light flavors of raspberries and thought that was good but the flavor is a little light, this CAO Eileen's Dream has twice the flavor and is super smooth with no bite. Being à long time Cavendish smoker, I think I've found a new favorite, will be trying all of CAO's flavors now.
I tried this blend a few months back and ended up sending to my son. I was really disappointed, I felt like I was smoking smoke.. Oh well...
I have only smoked it once so I may need to try it again but the first impression was disappointing. I had high hopes for the Irish cream + white chocolate truffle combination but could not really pick up the scent in the room note. It also left a bitter taste and some tongue bite as parting gifts. Not likely to get it again.
I absolutely love this blend. It is very rich and creamy both to taste and to smell. I saw no tongue bite either which was a big plus for me!
I got a tin as part of a sampler. I was not expecting this to be my favorite out of the 3 tins I bought, but it certainly was. I just ordered about 9 oz of different types of tobacco to try, since im new at this, but I will not forget about this gem. Would highly recommend.
This blend is very good all around. Nice smooth flavor, burns well and does not bite. Vanilla is the main overtone note, did not detect the chocolate truffle in it. Not one bit gooey or wet, smoked great right out of the tin. Will be buying more of this tobacco.
This blend was not what I had hoped. The tin note was nice but that's where the pleasantries end. It had a chemically taste and the room note was a generic smoke. I wouldn't recommend it.
I was a little disapointed after my first bowl of this but a few bowls later and I was a fan. Lightly sweet and my wife loves the room note. A nice compliment to my favorite Aro, Molto Dolce.
I had my doubt's at first but now on my second tin and love this stuff. Tastes like Irish cream, smell is more of chocolate. It is a bit goopy straight out of the tin but a little drying and it behaves like a pleasant Virginia
