If it's a CAO Candela I'm going to be upset.

Dickie, the Escaparate is actually the room that they are standing in at the end of the second video. It's basically a huge circular walk-in humidor. The blend has another name, and with some effort you can probably track down some info about it. I won't spill the beans (since CAO hasn't really yet), but I will give you a hint. It's (sort of) a new line in an existing series.

I keep hearing people complain about how CAO spends too much on marketing and too little on blending–especially from those among the online cigar community. But I've really enjoyed almost everything they have to offer, especially the Brazilias. I look forward to giving the Escaparate its day in my court.

Personally, I would prefer more information about the cigar and less tiresome promotional material. Some of CAO's ads are pretty sharp, but I have to say this one kinda made me cringe.
