I suppose a blend of this sort, so heavily cased and aromatized, must've been designed for the Danish winter, when people smoke in closed environments because of the cold and a nice and friendly room note is much appreciated. In this context, this flake really exceeds, it has a very well done vanilla-fruity flavor, perfectly married with a nice Virginia leaf (which is somehow present in the smoking experience, though not explicitly). Despite being a heavy aromatic, Vanilla Flake doesn't feels like smoking a candy (I'm thinking in Prince Albert Vanilla Cav., and similar cheap aromatics), but something nicer, it's really a tobacco, but very mannered. Compared to his sibling, Vanilla Cream Loose Cut, both of them are very close, it's just a matter of which cut suits you better, flake or ribbon. Like some aromatics of this kind, Vanilla Flake must be smoked slowly and cautiously, or it can be very aggressive with the tongue. For me, this tobacco is like a dessert I fancy only once in a while, when I smoke it in the right mood, it's superb.

This is the best aromatic tobacco.
Mellow and sweet.
Tastes as it smells.
More than 70% high quality VA.
Good body.
Good Vitamin N.
Burns slow and steady(if you pack right).
Absolutely no tongue bite.
-If this tobacco bites your tongue, you seriously have to reconsider your packing/smoking method. My wife is a none smoker and this one doesn't bite her tongue, she likes it and gets a few puffs when I pick this one to smoke.

This is the best aromatic flake I have smoked so far, mellow tobacco taste is accompanied with a sweet and mellow casing, High quality virginia with round and creamy vanilla cavendish, I didn't rub the flake completely , just broke it into long thick strips and rounded them lightly into a ball and stuffed into my pipe, No tongue bite , sweet and mellow virginia taste, goes into my favorites.

I'm not an aromatic smoker, but I've been looking for a tobacco to smoke in public or around other people that will not be offensive and still have real tobacco flavor. Well, this is it!!! A wonderful aroma that's been a hit with just about everybody yet real tobacco taste that keeps things interesting. Even fully rubbed out I had no problem with bite as long as its sipped, which gets the most out of this smoke anyway. A really high quality "hybrid" tobacco!

This is a splendid cased flake!
The tin aroma is vanilla. The moisture content is minimal. The flakes feel like they are almost dry.
However,despite this impression and despite the fact that there is only about 25% of Black CA, it still smokes kind of slow.
It has a soft, delicious vanilla taste. And my wife LOVES the room note!

one of the best flakes in the aromatic world that i have encountered. although similar to the loose cut however there are few differences basically it burns slower (oh the intelligence!)secondly which i might be consider as a con is that the room note not always appreciated but certainly tolerable. the taste is fuller and you feel the blend hold its body perfectly with a considerable nic kick to it (as oppose to normal aromatics) the tobacco taste is more dominant than the flavoring added but you can defiantly taste the sweetness and get that creamy sensation. to me its a safe zone tobacco and i would certainly recommend it. ( i pack it through folding method however breaking the flakes down help with more even burning)

Maybe its just because im a fan of vanilla or maybe its because this is a quality product but i did enjoy this product. I was very happy with the consistency of the burn. The room note is always pleasing to even to those who run away from the smoke. Mac Baren definitely hit it out of the park with this one. No bite just a nice relaxing smoke when your in the mood for an aromatic.

A pretty good vanilla blend. I loved the way it was packaged. It was made to look like the tobacco of Kings. The taste is a little to mild for me but it is a smoke that can be for those evenings on the porch when you want to contemplate life.
It smells very good as the room note but the taste sways to more tobacco than vanilla which is fine but a little vanilla every once in a while wouldn't hurt. 3.5/4 stars
UPDATE*****

I am upgrading it to 4 stars. It has gotten better over time and I am enjoying it more and more!

I have been looking for a good vanilla tobacco and I love flake virgina so this seemed like a good match for me . It is. I love to smoke this tobacco it gives a very nice smell to the room which helps with the wife and I do not fine the flavor too strong I smoke it in a small acorn pipe and it manitains it characters throughtout the pipe. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good flake with a nice flavor that does not over power the tobacco.
