In addition to their selection of world class "standard" cigars, CAO also produces some of the best-tasting premium-flavored cigarillos on the planet. This tinned blend is a duplicate of their best-selling Moontrance Cigarillos (only quite a bit easier to get into one's pipe than the latter). This blend begins with quality Virginia tobaccos that are infused with essences of exotic fruit, vanilla, and bourbon extracts and then hit with just a dash of Hawaiian honey.

A fine vanillic danish blend.

I originally tried this blend when 'Blue Note' was harder to source than it is now.. Over the years, I've smoked it when out of the former. I have some thoughts: It is a similar blend but a little darker, a scoatch richer. I think any lover of 'Blue Note' will appreciate this well made blend. It is not an "american aromatic" as you might expect if you've never tried CAO pipe offerings. It's not acrid, like the German-made Kulkasse blends. I think of this as a sort of variation on 'Blue Note', without the lemony bright virginians and, instead, adding a nutty chocolatey Burley to smooth the blend out.. Burley isn't listed as a component tobacco, but I'd swear it's in there.. in good measure. This offers a rich almost chocolate cake quality that takes this blend away from 'Blue Note' territory the further you get into the bowl. I smoke this to the heel, with very little moisture or dottle remaining. Really quite a fine smoke....Read More

Enjoyable Smoke

As a Cigar smoker coming back to pipes it was a familiar name. I found it to be an easy to light and stay lit tobacco, was nice right out of the tin, I enjoyed the nice thick smoke. I found it to be very mild with very little flavor. It was a very relaxing smoke.

Aromatics aren't my go-to smokes, but I do enjoy one here & there. Moontrance has been one of the aromatics I enjoy the most.

Virginia & Cavendish

I have no idea why someone said this was a cigar leaf blend. It is most certainly not. It’s a moist Virginia and Cavendish aromatic pipe tobacco. It’s rather ok. There’s an alcohol, fruit, and vanilla topping that is very apparent. Would recommend drying out a bit.

As a cigar smoker

Product: CAO Moontrance 50g

As a cigar smoker trying pipes for the first time, this brand helped me out as a familiar name in cigars. Moontrance is a great cigar, but doesn't really translate too well over to pipes. CAO Eileens Dream however was the opposite, I love it as a pipe but thought it was only ok in cigar format. I would recommend Ashton Guilty Pleasure or Rainy Day for what I was hoping Moontrance could've been....Read More

Makes more sense as a cigar

February 17, 2021

Product: CAO Moontrance 50g

I thought the bourbon vanilla fruit combo would be interesting. I was right, but in the wrong way. The notes off the tobacco were current, blackberry esque that had a sharp note at the end like bourbon does as a drink. The taste was more cigar ish- almost spicy in that cigar style without being harsh but with vanilla bean / bourbon being the focal point it felt flat in the mouth. Was not sweet as with other liquor tobaccos, which wasn't bad. All in all wasn't a bad smoke just not what i thought. Note that this purchased in 2019 so it sat awhile, may have something to do with it....Read More

Aro. Just good..

I' had this jarred away just over 2 years...to appreciate the flavors in this CAO like others,it must be slow cadenced..just above going out,..the blend also has a real tobacco umph...the flavor I get is bright fruit,vanilla...and does have that slight cigar taste,maybe a mental block...because I know CAO cigars...it does give me a slight tingle in the sinuses when puffed a little more aggressively..but it's a good tingle,not bite..nic hit is below medium,enjoyable..I think it is better after the 2 years I've had it..I think this is an aro worth trying and keeping around for variety....Read More

Not great

I'm not sure what the exotic fruit is supposed to be, but it smells a bit like off-brand cough syrup. At least that doesn't come through in the tastes, but not much else does either. It tastes like a cheap bitter cigar. I guess I'd smoke it if there was nothing else left.

Disappointing

Highly disappointing pipe tobacco. A lot like my disappointment with CAO’s Eileen’s Dream, this tobacco has a very synthetic smell upon cracking the tin. This aromatic also has minimal flavor and the tobacco is very bland and does not seem to be of high quality in the least bit. When it comes to CAO, spend your money and look elsewhere. C and D as well as Lane Limited both have excellent options for aromatics....Read More

The first tin tobacco I ever bought! I’ve since developed a deeep love for English blends, and heavy Latakia stuff.. But this is a SUPER nice aromatic, that’s responsible for locking me into this amazingly enjoyable hobby.
