"CAO can make a BAD Cigar"
I have to admit I do every now and then Like Acid Kuba... I am ashmed but I admit it. So I thought CAO I should at least try them. I have two boxes of Italia, one box ofGold and one box of Brazilia in the humi so I am a big fan of CAO. Just to prove they can make a bad cigar they produced these turds and that is a compliment. SOOOOO BAD I tossed it half way through.

"Moontrance"
Very mild cigar, with a sweet wrapper. the pre light aroma is very good, but once lit, the flavor wasn't really there. Very smooth and nice smoke, but a bit expensive. Good draw, had to relight once but thats okay. Long ash.

"in a trance"
I usually try the occasional flavor cigar for desert and am glad I smoked this one. It's way better than the other CAO Flavours. So I am rating this one keeping in mind that it is a sweet cigar and imcomparable to my usual smokes.

"Eh"
Of course, the construction and appearance are top-notch, as I would not expect anything else from CAO, however this cigar left something to be desired: flavor! Of course this is by no means a flavor-less cigar, however the flavor that pervades is that of artificial sweetness, almost as if this cigar was dipped in sugar. It seemed as if I were smoking one of those vanilla mints from Starbucks. While it's not horrible, and the burn was perfect, I feel that flavored cigars do not appeal to me, I tried this cigar to get a feel of flavored cigars, yet the only thing I realized is that there is no reason to deviate from just regular good cigars. I'm sure there are people out there who want to taste candy when they smoke, I'm just not one of them. I think this one is targeted toward the non-cigar smoker, or at the least is targeted toward new smokers.

"my personal fav"
I have been against flavored tobaccos whether it be pipe or cigar, but this has a much more natural smooth taste that is one of a kind from other flavoreds. I cant say enough good things about this cigar, great for beginners, and especially for those very resistant to flavored cigars. I do agree that it could be a buck cheaper, but i still don't hesitate at the shop scooping a couple up!

"Excellent flavored smoke"
This cigar has a very nice vanilla flavor. The flavor is subtle, but yet still quite noticeable. Overall a very mellow smoke. The best CAO flavored cigar I've had.

"Good stuff"
I agree with pretty much all that has been said. This is a nice, not overpowering flavored cigar with most of the qualities you would expect from CAO. I still like Cojimar a little better, but they are admittedly sweeter and a bit more of the "piece of candy" mentioned in other reviews. But they cost less than the CAO too 🙂

"Best of the Flavour Line"
CAO probably makes the best flavored cigars available. They are consistently good tobacco and not scrap sugar-coated with flavoring, and the flavoring itself is subtle but distinct and true. You'll never feel like you're smoking a piece of candy.
The Moontrance stands out among all of them. Pretty much all of their flavors are good, but this one truly impresses. What's more, the flavoring carries over into the aroma and therefore is far less offensive to ladies than most cigars, in fact your ladyfriend may even ask to taste the cigar or have one for herself!

"Refreshing change of pace"
...kind of like a citrus sorbet in the middle of a gourmet meal. Palate cleansing...the overall flavor profile was complex and very enjoyable. Heavy cream, chocolate with a leathery bite...but hints of mint and spice gave it real character. I would smoke one again...very, very nice. My only complaint...I wish they came in a bigger size, like the Kuba Kuba...and you can't keep them in your humidor or your Monte #2s will taste like a mint meltaway.

"Wonderful to relax with..."
The CAO Moontrance is a wonderful cigar to relax with. Deliciously appealing and enjoyable, it is a very smooth and mellow mild bodied cigar that is sweet on the lips and very aromatic. It has a strong vanilla foundation laced with hints of chocolate, leather, coffee and sweet floral notes. The finish is very smooth and clean with hints of cream, nutmeg, chocolate and leather. This is the perfect cigar to relax with and take long walks on the beach. If you enjoy the cheaply "machine made" Hava Tampa cigars, give these "hand made" beauties a try!

"wonderful"
Tastes much more like vanilla than the CAO Vanilla flavored cigar. Has a more natural, and persistant taste than the other flavors from CAO. Probably the best flavored cigar they make. Could be a dollar cheaper, with the small ring count. You're paying for the brand.

"Great Mild Smoke"
Awesome Cigar for what is is; a mild flavorful smoke. Great for relaxing, nothing that will knock you over. Excellent product from CAO, highly recommended to new smokers.
