Pretty much all I smoke
July 30, 2016
Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular Bulk
After smoking this blend, I find it hard to enjoy anything else. They say that a person always comes across that one blend that is for them, and this one is mine. I smoke about 4-5 bowls a day of it and it never gets old. For me it has a wonderful ch... Read More
ocolate kind of flavor. I love the way it smells and tastes. I order about a 1lb a month of this and still have almost none cellared. I enjoy it that much. But I am also a simple person. YMMV. Read Less

Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular Bulk
Though I always read the reviews for products I'm not familiar with, I rarely write a review, especially for pipe tobaccos as everyone has their own tastes, preferences and opinions.
Over the last 40 years I've tried so many different tobaccos tha... Read More
t I've lost count searching for that ONE blend that surpasses all others, one that becomes an every day smoke and can be an all day smoke...admit it, we all do.
I like many aromatics, mostly because my wife can tolerate them without whining about the smell, but finding one that tastes good, burns well, doesn't bite, and doesn't offend any non-smokers (except the militant ones, and there's no pleasing those) can be a chore.
Try this one.
Best part...the aftertaste...fantastic. Read Less
This is THE Aromatic
March 31, 2018
Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular 3.5oz
There's this smoky-chocolaty goodness going on here with hints of vanilla to beat the band. At times, it also reminds of Double Apple hookah tobacco (shisha)—which I realize sounds a bit contradictory. As another review said, "Ever eat birthday cake ... Read More
in the woods?" Well, it does taste quite a bit like chocolate cake with icing on top—at least, in terms of pipe smoke. I also get a hint of something fruity, like a mix of green apple and blackberry, especially in the aftertaste and tin note. Like all MB blends, you're gonna get "Mac Bite" if you push it too hard, but that simply encourages a better cadence. Dry it a little, light it well, sip it slow, and there's great enjoyment to be had. Furthermore, the aging potential—unlike some aromatics with very little—is great. I aged some for about 10 months, and the results were impressive. If you're a discerning aromatic smoker and haven't tried 7SR yet, it's time. Read Less

In my top 2 favorite aromatics. Tastes delicious, smokes super smooth and cool, zero tongue bite. Simply a joy.
Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular 3.5oz
very nice I will always want to keep some on hand. I bought some in bulk from another source and it caused tongue burn maybe too much moisture I am letting it dry out before I try again. But the tin I smoked was great.

I've always like Mac Baren tobaccos. So when I tried 7 Seas Regular I figured it'd be good. It's not good, it's great. It started out with a little bite but that settled down quickly into a very flavorful, cool smoking experience. Burns well and k... Read More

The infamous Mac Baren bite

Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular 3.5oz
Not nearly as smooth as Captain Black. There is is a reason why CBW is ranked a top seller even on specialty sites like SPC while 7 Seas can't crack the top 200. This blend has an artificial taste and will bite anyone with a faster than average smoki... Read More

7 Seas Regular
September 24, 2018
Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular 3.5oz
This is my favorite out of the 7 Seas blends that I have smoked (Regular, Gold, Royal). Tin aroma is chocolate with hints of raisins and coffee. Flavor profile is hints of chocolate, raisins, and light hints of coffee. The is a pretty good blend.
Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular 3.5oz
This is my number 1 selection. After trying all kinds of tastes, this one suites me the best. Both for flafour and aroma.
Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular 3.5oz
This tobacco is a fantastic smoker. The smoke is always cool and dry. Very easy to retrohale, little to no burn. The smell when you first open the tin is reminiscent of yogurt covered rasins. Needless to say it smells fantastic. The taste is rather c... Read More
omplex, I get hints of dark chocolate and vanilla. After the first light the taste slowly dissolves into straight tobacco, which I don't mind. This is a great beginner smoke, and it's very enjoyable. The only downside is that the roomnote is kind of off putting. It kind of smells like a musty old ashtray. Read Less

This blend a nice fruity flavor and leaves a pleasant taste in my mouth for the rest of the day. I would recommend for beginner pipe smokers.

Good But Not Great

Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular Bulk
Coming from MacBaren, you already know this is going to smell amazing. But for me, the flavors were a little too subdued and it did bite a little. Still, it was decent, just not outstanding.
The best yet.

Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular 3.5oz

other blends I've not tried. Upon opening the 7 Seas I was faced with what seemed to be a tin 2/3rds full, and the usual neatly folded paper liner not looking so neat. I placed the tobacco on my food scale and what I got was 2.2oz instead of the 3.5oz. I thought no biggie anything made by man is subject to flaw, however when I called the company to see if maybe there was a error on the packing line that they were aware of, or possibly they would offer some kind of explanation, or compensation, I could not reach a live person to talk to just a customer service reps answering machine. No return phone call. I did contact Smoking pipes and got right through to a gentleman and asked him if they had any reports of something like this that has happened and he kindly explained that he hasn't heard of anything, which was good. Now if the paper lining in the tin didn't looked worked over I might have just smoked the tobacco and moved on. But I discarded the whole tin. Don't get me wrong I love this blend and many others from this manufacturer I just wish their customer care was a little more on point. Had a pipe in my teeth since my late teens and lets say that was over 20 yrs ago. Also like to add that after discovering Smokeing pipes I won't buy elsewhere now unless I happen in to a brick motor. Love my new Savinelli's and Petersons and at a fraction of the cost I've been a custom to paying in the past and the customer care here is great! Read Less

Has a great room note. Needs a bit of drying and will burn hot and bite if not smoked very slowly like most Mac Baren blends. Requires a few re lights. Not perfect but a solid smoke.

Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular 3.5oz
I normally prefer my aromatics strong and natural, like Sam Gawith's 1792 Flake and Ennerdale Flake and blends like that. I'm not a huge fan of goopy, PG drenched tobaccos. Mac Baren's 7 Seas Regular is the chink in my American aromatic armor, and I... Read More
nearly gave it away during Christmas to my cousin. I came home that night, unwanted tin in hand, and set out a pile to dry. When I woke up in the morning, the tobacco was dry but not crispy. This is the moment I realized I can enjoy a regular aromatic. The tin note is vanilla caramel heaven with a side of chocolate. The smoke is rich with these flavors, and when I smoke it in my car I leave the window cracked only slightly so I can enjoy the room note without smoking myself out. Drying out the tobacco for several hours yields a smoke with little to no steam or moisture at the bottom of the bowl. My only complaint is that it doesn't satisfy me with nicotine, but I can forgo that pleasure for a sensory delight here and there. Delightful. Read Less
Man Overboard!
December 20, 2017
Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular 3.5oz
I'd heard all about the flavor in this one and read so many good reviews. I was excited to try it out and see for myself. The tin I received was totally devoid of any such flavor. In fact, hardly any aroma to it at all. I tried a few bowls but go... Read More
t absolutely no taste aside from hot air. Smokingpipes graciously sent me fresh tin and I chalked it off as simply a bad batch. New tin, same deal. No taste, barely perceptible aroma inside the tin. Maybe I happened across a bad lot but I'm not impressed at all. The only thing I can say is that it does burn well and has no bite, just no flavor whatsoever. Not sure what went wrong, was expecting better from Mac Baren. Waste of money and tobacco.
Update: Decanted this in a glass container for about 4 months. Became much better and flavorful. It was ok but never rose above marginal. I guess the name refers to the moisture content, or rather PG amount. Maybe I just got a bad impression but I'll sail other seas when it comes to aromatics from now on. Read Less

In a Zulu, the toastiness gets stronger towards the latter half, and gains in smokiness and cocoa.

All in all, one of my favourites out there, and sure to be a regular leaf on hand for me. Read Less

to deliver in the flavor department. This isn't the case 7 Seas Regular. It presents a smell of chocolate, with hints of vanilla and citrus in the background. When fired up, the flavors are consistent with the tin aroma, but in a very mild and pleasant way. There is no bashing of the taste buds here, and anyone who smokes it around non-pipers, will receive compliments on how nice it smells. The only reason I give it four and a half stars is that it is a bit wet, and requires a touch of air-drying, to prevent the infamous "Mac Baren bite" so many of us are familiar with. This is my favorite go-to, everyday aromatic. Read Less
