MacBaren,has been in the tobacco game for many years. Have tried"all"Macb's products(Pouch,Tin,Bulk);Some I prefer more than others...this one is probly my least Fav'rte. This tobacco was a product that was'invented from the outside-in'..not the'inside-out'. Macb's did a spot on job of developing"Original Choice"which was FANTASTIC+one of the"Best Crowd Pleasers"I've ever filled my pipe with...//Macb's took Original Choice+added some Vanilla--a pinch more Cavendish;and you have Vanilla Choice//Macb's took Original Choice+added some Cherry--a pinch more Cavendish;and you have Cherry Choice. The reason i don't care for Vanilla Choice is;it smokes hot(big,small,loose or tight)and the casing flavor hangs off the Tobacco,is not Melded to the mix. -*- But"do try"Macb's Vanilla Cream;if Vanilla is Your Thing...Please don't blame me if you can't afford golf-green fees,because you've spent all your loot on Vanilla Cream. :+)

Mac Baren - Vanilla Choice.
I've just reviewed a tin of Murray & Sons Yachtsman as I needed to open up a new 'evening aromatic'; I wasn't too impressed with that, so I thought "Vanilla aromatic? You can't go wrong"! Let's see how I got on:
I adore the pouch note, it smells like just what I want: it has a good, strong vanilla aroma to it. It looks to be quite a fair split in colour, half black and half brown. It's a little moist but not over the top; it can still be smoked from the pouch. Although it's smokeable it's stuck in little clumps so it needs breaking apart before it can be loaded into the pipe, it's as if it's gathered into separate lumps of Virginia and Black Cavendish. So after a sort of 'rub', I load and light. Despite the mostly negative reviews, I'm in the minority; it's not great but to me it's a good smoke.
The vanilla flavouring doesn't come across as formidable as the un-lit note suggested; it's around medium (for me), yet I expected it to be a full on 'gloop fest'.
There isn't too much in the way of tobacco tastes; a delicate Virginia note with a subtle Cav' sweetness. The Burley, however, goes totally unnoticed.
The nicotine's typically aromatic: very mild!
This isn't a 'brilliant' aromatic, I do feel, though, it's had a bit of a raw deal!
Recommended.

This one is my regular choice for resting my tongue. Smells too synthetic but doesn't make me feel overwhelmed. Nothing special, in fact it may be just consist of fragrance, but doesn't burn my tongue, and that is what I am using it for.

not bad. if you like vanilla aromatic just try it.
kurutmak için beklemeden, paketi açınca dayanamayıp hemen içmek istedim, bu yüzden tamamen yanması biraz zaman aldı. çok hafif ve kolay içimli hafif lezzetli bir tadımı var. asıl tadı içim bittikten sonra aldığımı hissettim, ağızda çok hoş bir vanilla tadı bırakıyor.
