I've been trying all the 7 Seas blends and reviewing them.
I'm a Mac Baren fan, and I love aromatics. I've never been much for fruity aros however, preferring good vanilla blends. That said...
I have been working on this tin for about three months. "Working" on it, as in, I am not sure if I can finish it. The tobacco lacks character and flavor. Usually MacB uses some very good toppings, but this does not seem to be the case here. It seems to taste more of chemicals and harshness than of cherries. The tobacco is passable at the match, but as the bowl wears on, the flavors get muddied and harsh and leaves a hot and sour taste in my mouth. Room note is inoffensive, but not worth working your way through the bowl. I'm not a fan of this blend, will not buy it again, and would not recommend it. It's rare for MacB to miss the mark this badly.
