Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake / Classic Roll Cake

(3.78)
Manufactured largely by hand in accordance with age-old traditions, Mac Baren's Vanilla Roll Cake features a wrapper of whole leaf Virginias, with additional Virginias, modern Cavendish and a touch of burley. Further enhancing the natural sweetness of the Virginias is a subtle casing of premium, Madagascar vanilla. Piquant and yet smooth and creamy, Vanilla Roll Cake represents a confluence of tradition and innovation — applying traditional preparation to Mac Baren's signature Danish approach to casings for a naturally sweet, nuanced, and supremely enjoyable smoke.
Notes: Named "Classic Roll Cake" in Europe due to legislation.

First thing cracking the seal on this 9-month-old tin, was the hiss and then I was hit with such a beautiful, natural vanilla aroma. Coupled with that slight sourness of Mac B Virginia tobaccos, I knew I was going to be in for a pleasant smoking experience.

The appearance of these bright and medium brown coins laid neatly in this tin was just as impressive as the flavor and aroma. Rubbing these little coins out, you are left with that wonderful vanilla aroma on your fingers. Straight up expensive vanilla beans. I do a lot of cooking/baking with vanilla beans, especially in Creme Brule. This tobacco smells like a high-class desert. Nothing cloying or artificial here whatsoever.

The initial lighting is sweet vanilla, minor nutty burley, and bready sweet Virginia. Quite a few of Mac B blends give me terrible tongue bite, but its non-existent here. If Entenmann's Vanilla cream cheese Danish were a tobacco, this would be it.

This blend smokes consistently throughout the bowl if sipped, and the vanilla room note stays to the bottom of the bowl. No harshness, no roughness. I bought this 3.5 oz tin a while back and smoked most of this tin in a few days. I think I'll be ordering the 16oz bag shortly here. This is a great indoor tobacco, my wife was in love with both the tin and room notes. It also makes a great morning commute blend, and it smells wonderful when I go back to my truck at lunch. This is a very high-quality Virginia that just happens to be an aromatic.

Do yourself a favor and pick up a tin or a pound, this is a solid 4 star blend!

Una mezcla realmente deliciosa que está elaborada con una base de tabacos de altísima calidad que no dejará a nadie indiferente. No es abrumador pero su toque de vainilla natural y orgánica hace que incluso los reticentes a los aromáticos se replanten volverlo a fumar pues es 10/10. Dulce, redondo, cremoso y espectacularmente rico. Muy muy recomendado.

Caballo Ganador. Mac Baren, buen trabajo!!!

This stuff is good. I don’t really need 25 words to explain why but I am required to write at least 25 words. Basically, if you like tobacco, if you like smoking a pipe, even if you don’t really like either, you should smoke this.
