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.

I pretty much enjoy every MacBaren roll cake/coin cut blend. This one is a little milder than the others. The vanilla flavoring is not heavy; it was applied lightly. So this is not a traditional American style aromatic in that the natural tobacco can be tasted and the topping does not overwhelm.
Pleasant smoke. Does not burn too hot; doesn't bite. I recommend it.
Govern Yourself Accordingly!

This is my first review. I just had to say, this tobacco bites. It tastes and smells great. But don't believe people who want to say it doesn't bite. They might be too experienced and accustomed to avoiding bite. But if you take this tobacco fresh from the tin and you aren't careful how you pull on it, you're gonna get bitten, guaranteed.

If you are a sweet aro fan, don't listen to the reviews of non-pro fans saying how sweet this is. It is not sweet at all if you come from a background of Boswell Christmas Cookie/Cupcake or the over-the-top fruity mess that is Rattray's Exotic Passion.
If you enjoy Virginia's, this is a quality smoke. Very bready, with a hint of sugar. I want to describe the taste as similar to a touch of vanilla with molasses but the breadiness overpowers this. If you ever had freshly baked bread that's the taste this is most reminds of. You could easily smoke it all day because it's not super sweet.
The smell is not aromatic- someone asked me if I had smoked a cigar because they could smell it lingering on me.
Nic was low to me.
