   I started out smoking pipes and have tried some of CAO's flavoured cigarillos. I enjoy those very much, so I'm wondering what regular cigars would be good to give a try based on the leaf combos in the Moontrance and Eileen's Dream cigarillos? Any help is greatly appreciated.

   Personally, I prefer non-flavored cigars, but many people do start there, so here are a few recommendations:

   Havana Honeys Del Sol Honey
   Isla Del Sol Robusto
   Java Toro Maduro - by Drew Estate
   Maker's Mark 650 Tubes
   Oliveros Tango Sweets Figurado
   Tatiana Classic Vanilla

   Thanks for the suggestions. Definitely will check some of them out.

   I was curious of some good cigars with a mixture of Cameroon, Nicaraguan, and Dominican as those are the components of the Eileen's Dream cigarillos.

   I'm sure there are some cigars made with a Nic/Dominican binder/filler and a Cammy wrapper. I'm equally sure they taste nothing like Eileen's Dream. All those "flavoured/infused" cigars secrets are kept pretty quiet, I suspect.
   Cammy wrapper isn't cheap. Nice they put it on Eileen!

   Yesterday I stopped by the local tobacconist to pick up some more pipe cleaners and gave a look inside the walk in humidor. I decided on two CAO cigars, the Gold (the make up was somewhat similar to the cigarillos I've had with a warpper of Ecuadoran, Connecticut Seed; and a binder & filler of Nicaraguan) and the Cameroon (which is a Cameroon wrapper with a Nicuraguan binder and filler).

   Tonight I gave the Gold a try and enjoyed it very much. It has a nice buttery and creamy flavor with a hint of coffee to it and smoked very smooth. I definitely will look into stocking up on them. More than likely I'll give the Cameroon a try tomorrow.

   Had the Cameroon robusto this afternoon. I have to say I really enjoyed that one as well. A nice light caramel and coffee taste with a bit of a sweet spice. Definitely a cigar I'll pick up again.

   Any suggestions of other cigars similar to these two would be greatly appreciated.

   For my palate, the Ashton "Heritage" was the tastiest Cammy.
