Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal Blend
(2.51)
An aromatic blend of black and golden tobaccos. A soft and exceptionally mellow smoke. Delightful, aromatic taste. A true pleasure journey.

I wanted to like this blend. It smelled so appealing to me when I first opened the sample bag. Unfortunately, it just didn't do it for me. Like most of the 7 seas line, it bites and is pretty flat on flavor.

I tried this one after convincing myself to give aromatics another chance: of that, I regret. While the smell in the pouch is pleasant, when lit it gives out practically nothing. From time to time, something gives a sweet component that makes you think the best is coming out, but then it fades back. If smoked hot, it has an unpleasant and chemical acid flavour. Since smoking is no good to your health, smoke something worth it, not this one.

Reviewing all the 7 Seas blends, this is my third.
I am a Mac Baren fan, but sadly, this blend disappoints. While the tin note is nicely Cavendish and tobacco-y, there is nothing particularly enticing to me about this blend. It is easy to pack and smoke, smokes clean and burns evenly, but lacks character. The room note is not particularly remarkable compared to other MacB blends. Nothing really stands out to me about this blend. This is however, a good blend if you are dipping your toe into aromatics, as there is little bite as well. For me, I expect more from MacB, and won't be buying this blend again.

This tobacco is awful. The tin is nice, it smells good in the can and seems like real tobacco but I could NOT get it to hold a light! 8 relights in the first 5 minutes. No amount of drying, repacking, pipe switching or lighting techniques I've picked up over 20 years helped. What little smoke I did get had no real flavor and was fairly bitter. I am a mostly English and Virginia smoker but I do like a nice aromatic every once in awhile....but this was odious and a complete waste of time, money and the wear and tear on my pipe. I've got it soaking in salt and alcohol overnight to get the goop out.
I've never had good results with Danish tobaccos and I will never buy one, again. I tossed the weed inside and kept the tin.

A variation of CB Royal. Unnecessary as the CB tobaccos.

I´d like MB blands and smoke some of it everyday, but I will do a big mistake buing this tobacco. It is smoked like clean air. I´d overheat my pipe trying to feel something, but this bland has no taste at all. This tobacco made for smellers not for smokers I think.
