Mac Baren: 7 Seas Gold 3.5oz Pipe Tobacco

Having tried, and loved, all of the other seven seas tobaccos (7 Seas Regular is my favorite), I ordered some seven seas gold. I had read the reviews and saw that most of them were highly favorable. I noticed that a few of them mentioned that the tobacco had a bite, but I dismissed them as outliers. However, with the first puff, I noticed the distinct and unpleasant bite. I thought perhaps the tobacco was too wet, so I went into the pouch and determined that it was not. I continued to smoke, but the bike was so unpleasant that after smoking less than half of the bowl, I dumped it. I then mixed it with some Sutliff Black Kathy, bye mildest, and blandest tobacco. I tried it again the next day and found that most of the bite was gone. So I then put some more black Kathy in and it was now smokable. With all of the really delicious tobaccos out there, I saw no reason to have to tinker with a tobacco to that extent simply to make it palatable. I will never order this tobacco again....Read More

I smoke 7 Seas regular every day pretty much all day long and have for years so I decided to give this a try. First light was very mild, almost refreshing, but halfway throughout the bowl began to bite. I'm going to celler this for a few months to see how it ages

I love this nice cool smoke come on with just a little bit of sweetness along with a good tobacco. This is my second favorite behind the Dark.

Flavor is very smooth and creamy. A good vanilla flavor mixed with the tobacco. Room note is a pleasant vanilla that has a very subtle hint of fruit. It's a good smoke for Flavor, but 7 Seas Royal and Regular surpass it in room note.

tastes great, mild and not overwhelming what so over while packing a great flvor profile that gives of a nice room note

Well, people have different taste. I smoke half and half daily. Seven seas red is a must. But this to me is just an all around good tobacco. It's a lil warm so pace yourself. It's mild and bold at the same time. Really good tasting tobacco!

This stuff is awesome. Really great smell.

I am new to the hobby of pipe smoking and I'm enjoying the different blends trying to find what tickles my fancy. Seven seas gold by mac bean is the first tobacco I chose to buy again. I love the ten note everyone around me loves to smell and you can't beat the price.

Again, I need to stress i'm a returning to the pipe mid aged guy. So I started with my old times favorite Mac Baren Virginia No 1, and in addition for some diversity bought this one as well (pound+pound) I LOVE IT. I reminds me of being kid, of all thing, going to the seashore and passing through a pine forest 100 feet from the sea. It's exactly the same smell :))) Anyway, if you like non invasive but still aromatic tobacco - this one is for you. Well it's definitely one for me....Read More

A clean burning and bite free tobacco. Flavoring is present but does not overwhelm the quality tobaccos in this blend. Room note is pleasant. No chemical taste. A pleasing volume of smoke, mild tobacco and a bit over mild nicotine hit. Pack loose and you are favored with a well behaved smoke. A good beginner tobacco as unlike many American blends of this type you have to really screw up to get even a mild tongue bite....Read More
