Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake

Very good tasting and aromatic flavour, highly recomend if you like Vanilla and aromatic at the same time. Tastes better when you havent eaten vanilla ice cream for a few weeks, and want to be reminded of the flavour.

This would be my first vanilla. I have always been skeptical about trying a vanilla flavoured aromatic due to the countless chagrin about such tobaccos; this had deterred me from vanilla tobaccos . Until now...

The opening of the tin, you could really smell the heaving artificial smell of vanilla slapped onto the tin upon opening. With my guard against it, and having slightly prejudged the tobacco unfairly, I decided to plunge into it.

Surprisingly, the taste deceives my judgement and it tasted remarkably well. When sipping on it slowly, I could really taste the vanilla and I received compliments on the smell.

All in all, it tasted remarkable and I think for any beginners wanting to try a good vanilla tobacco, this one would be a great starter and for a person who tried vaping in the past, I ascertain the fact that this tobacco is on par with those vape fluid. Just let it dry a little though before packing.

Basically this version is much like the loose cut, except I found its flavours intensified a bit. My guess would be the pressing of the tobacco increased the intensity of the flavours a bit. Definately reccommend the fold and stuff method with a bit of drying time before smoking. Then it smokes like a dream. Great blend and the Mrs. loved the room note, she noted it from about 100 feet away even.

Many Aromatics bite me, no matter how slow I smoke. It is a pleasure to find one I can smoke with little or no bite, full tobacco flavor with just the right amount of gentle vanilla sweetness. There are many cloyingly sweet vanillas out there but this is not one. Rich tobacco goodness. Nicotene level seems good. It won't knock you over but it will leave you satisfied. A+

The best vanilla tobacco period - so far - the loose cut was good but on a recommendation that I try this, well, its superb, more flavour than the loose cut - burns to ash, no bite, I rub it out carefully, not too much then take a bit of time to pack it, and the reward is the perfect vanilla. The tin aroma is pretty good, but NOTHING in comparison to the smoke, - if you are an aro fan, with TASTE - get some or - get outta here!!! (on my 2nd tin - alright already - ordering more soon) I Youtubed my review too.

As far as I can tell, this is the same blend as MacB's Vanilla Cream Loose Cut in flake form. That cut gives the blend a little more strength and body through the bowl. It is still my hands-down favorite. I am beginning to prefer the flake to the loose cut, and may now start buying the flake by the pound as well.

The vanilla casing it top-quality. Not sugary or hot. It is certainly noticeable in tin, and as other reviewers have noted here, this blend never fails to get favorable comments from passers-by.

Tobacco flavor is not at all missing from this blend either. This is a finely crafted, well-rounded aromatic.

I have to echo other sentiments here about the "MacBaren bite." I have never noticed it in this or any other MacB blend I have smoked. All aromatics tend to burn a little hotter due to the added flavoring. Slow down. It isn't a race. MacBaren makes some of the finest blends around. Take your time and enjoy!

As a connoisseur of an aromatic tobacco blend which only means I enjoy a good aromatic Tobacco.

First opening Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake it was neatly wrapped in a gold foil surrounding the pressed Virginia and Black Cavendish tobaccos.

The aroma was not an overwhelming, sickening, sweet aroma, but rather an aroma of mellow Vanilla. The flake was easily rubbed out and just as easy packing my pipe, took two matches to light my L?Anatra Freehand. The first quarter to half way down the tobacco began to present itself as a very mild but enjoyable smoke to the bottom of the bowl as the tobacco mellowed out for a relaxing smoke.

The next day I smoke the flake in a Stanwell Brandy Glass witch presented itself as the same as that the previous day. Later in the evening I packed a Wessex Brandy Glass, smoked it about a quarter of the way down and laid it to one side for a few hours for a GDT that I absolutely enjoyed as it took me hard to put the pipe down. The next morning I picked up the Wessex and re-lit what was left of the VCF and to my surprise an even more delightful smoke as it lost no aroma or taste and really I enjoyed just as much if not more of the original first bowl of Vanilla Cream Flake. I will say I thought the VCF smoked better in the smaller bowl than the larger L?Anatra.

The comparison between the Loose Cut and Flake, the Loose Cut requires no rubbing, and the tins are larger, for just a fraction of the cost less you could purchase two 50 gram Vanilla Cream Flake. I like and enjoy both the Loose Cut and the Flake and will most likely keep both on hand. There is one thing that may discourage the pipe smokers from the U.S., there is a shipping and handling cost that could range from $20.00 to $30.00 depending on who are ordering the tobacco.

Très vanillé, en flakes très faciles à manipuler. Un peu humide malgré tout. Il s'agit d'un excellent tabac vanille, même s'il faut savoir le ménager, car tirer trop fort dessus vous mord un peu la langue. J'en ai fumé une boîte lors de la période de Noël précédente (2020), et ce tabac a vraiment contribué à donner une ambiance "Noël" à mes vacances. Je recommande fortement ce tabac vanille aux fumeurs et fumeuses d'aromatiques.

Opened a 50g tin of this and was very pleased with the usual Macbaren Vanilla Cream smell. A nicely couloured dark virginia and cavendish was appealing to the eye. Rubbed out the damp flake and put er straight into the pipe. One charring light and she was roaring. The smoke was thick, white and milky, resembling that of a spray from a very taught snatch. A delicious sweet vanilla was the initial taste and then mellowed out half way down the bowl to a more subtle taste. Very easy to maintain and smoked down to a white ash. Now I tried the fold and stuff but found that I couldn't keep it lit as it was a bit damp. So rubbing the baccy out worked alot better. Room note was incredible and made my woman a bit hornier than she already was. A very fine tobacco from Macbaren and one that I will be smoking regularily with some drying time. Rating would be a 4 star out of 5.
