Mac Baren 7 Seas Gold Blend

It is very mild, slighly chocolate smell. in the Room note, but during smoking, not very flavoured.

good for begginers, Tt seems (is similar or related) to certain Borkun Riff Blends, but better quality,

Not dried,unless, is wet in the just, desired point (as Essence of Vermont).

Compared with the Captain Black Blends, is much less sweet.

I agree with wenkrush: have much more flavour than taste!

Good tobacco.

Only one not good issue: It burns so hot and fast.

I revised my point of view: Although this is a excelent aromatic tobacco (Merits even 3 or 4 stars).

Unfortunately, it cause severe tongue bite after 2 or 3 bowls! (other MacBaren's Blends also!), from this, I`m obliged to reduce score to 2 stars!

7SG has a great smell in the pouch which makes a smart presentation, the golden/brown Cavendish base is correctly moist and ridiculously easy to keep lit, mild on the tongue and a very easy going in every sense. The flavouring is a mix of vanilla and fruits very pleasant to the nose, it is applied with light hand but it’s rather chemical and it lasts for ages in my mouth with an unpleasant feel. Still I surely prefer this one over its cousin Regular, none the less I can’t give it more than two stars because of that bad chemistry feel.

Well, it is not the worst tasting vanilla aromatic I have ever tasted. How is that for the start of a review. I have had the tin for two years and was happy to finish it off the other day. I suppose their is some decent tasting Burley notes when you get down to about the last third, but the preceding thirds are typical heavy chemical taste.

The room note is great, I will give it that much. I have received some compliments in that regard. I like the tin art and there is no need for wasting a jar on this one as the humectants will keep it in its moist state for at least two years in the tin.

As to how to recommend, I will give it two stars. Better than a captain Black, but far short of a Peterson or even a Stokkebye Aro.

Well it comes in pouches here. Easy to burn and easy to smoke, gives you something unoticeable about in your mouth. The vanilla flavor is lost during the start. Without filter it comes the flavor that they say. With filter some stiches comes from the nose but boring.
The pouch after several openings make the tobacco dry which at my opinion needs to happen because this is moist enough.

Easy to smoke... sometimes to boring to puff puff.
Maybe if i have nothing to fill up my pipe i buy it again,

Anyway.

After smoking great Royal Blend, i was curious about other 7 Seas tobaccos. I've tried Golden Blend and it really dissapointed me. It's very sweet but not in the natural way. It's owerwhelming, chemical sweetness. Aroma is flat, it taste just like pure sugar for me. This tobacco is also very wet, leaving sticky layer inside the pipe. Worth trying only if someone is looking for very sweet tobacco.

Sort of smelled like a dusty box of gingerbread cookies and graham cracker crumbs. Nothing terribly sweet here, just a hint of spice wafting over some uninspired wet cardboard aroma.

Sparked up great and burned pretty quick. It was a simple smoke, yet lacked the initial aroma for taste once lit. It did leave some spittle in the bowl, and at times got caught in my throat with an odd bite, which was odd since everything about it was mild and unremarkable.

It was an OK smoke, but for an aromatic it was one dimensional and flat.

So the description here says that it's a Virginia Burley, but in the website of Mac Baren it's stated that a "touch" of black cavendish is added. I do think that this is noticed throughout the smoke, specially because the burley never truly predominates the background.

It is a really mild mixture. It has a slight caramel-like vanilla flavour, and some honey too. Although the honey comes and goes, and is lost in (or enhance the...) caramel-like sense of the general smoke.

I think it's a good mixture for beginners, and a decent one for long-time smokers that not necessarily like strong case aromatics. Now, for aromatics lovers this might go as a little plain. I, myself, am a regular english smoker, but when I go for an aro I like to go for something with a stronger flavour and aroma. So for me it got a little boring around halfway of the bowl.

Doesn't need a lot of relights, and the moisture was actually on point. I don't know if this is a good thing though , since the tin I smoked from was a friend's and he said that he opened that tin a long time ago ("months ago, maybe a year") but that he didn't smoke that often, so I'm gonna assume that brand new from the tin the tobacco might come a little too wet.

In general a good smoke. I'm going to give it 2 stars mostly because for me it was a bit boring. But I think it's a really good one for new smoker

A good well priced aromatic, nothing new though. In no way memorable.

7 Seas Gold... Came in a handy Fold-up pouch that upon opening had a low keyed mild vanilla aroma. The packaging calls it a aromatic blend, so I guess that's what it is. Easy to handle ribbon cut, that lights easy, and stays lit. I found no bite issues, in spite of me pushing it a bit. Overall, I can find nothing to complain about, or find anything special to rave about, that would make me insist on this stuff over others. . Would I buy more? Sure, if I found some locally. But here is the rub, the notch filled by this rather common blend is crowed, and many in this crowd, can be found locally. If you happen to find some, give it a shot. 2.5 stars.
