Mac Baren: 7 Seas Regular Pipe Tobacco

I started smoking a pipe over 50 years ago, and one of the first blends I really enjoyed was Mac Baren’s Scottish Blend. For whatever reason, it doesn’t appeal to me as much anymore, but this 7 Seas blend is a more than worthy replacement. I have perhaps 25 tobacco‘s ageing downstairs; I enjoy looking for that perfect tobacco. This one’s coming pretty close. I find the flavour profile balanced and smooth, an entirely pleasant smoke....Read More

One of my favorites, gone. It will be missed.

Love this tobacco. Smokes well, pleasant taste, and very pleasant room note.

This tastes exactly the same as 7 Sea Black, it just burns hotter. The tobacco flavor here isn't bad, and the taste of the casing reminded me of an old candy cigar, but it really looks better than it smokes. As an aromatic, it smells like toast in the room more than cake or perfume. And I got tired of smoking it just to pass time, even blended with the Black. But at least it doesn't taste like you're sucking on a battery. Somebody would like this stuff, I'll bet....Read More

Delicious, with a room note that passes the test of everyone who smells it. I disagree with the heavy chocolate topping tasting note, it is very balanced and mild. Far surpassed my expectations and will become a regular smoke. If this blend could benefit from anything it may be a finer cut, but it smokes admirably regardless....Read More

This is awesome tobacco. Tin & Room note are fantastic. Taste is great with wonderful fruit flavor. A great slow all day smoke reminds me of old time aeromatic tobacco. Glad I have a large bowl pipe for an all day smoke. No bite!! you will like it!

I recently received a shipment. I ordered from smoking pipes, and when it arrived, I was disappointed to find that they had mistakenly shipped someone else’s order; single ounce packages of three tobacco’s. I had never tasted before. One of them was seven seas regular. I found them to let them know about the mistake. They apologize profusely and said they would ship out my original orders the same day. I said if they would provide a prepaid label, I would happily return what was sent to me an error. They told me to keep them and again apologize for the mistake. I won’t talk about the other two tobaccos but when I lit up a bowl of seven seas regular, I found to my delight that it was one of the finest Cavendish plans I had ever smoked. I am going to order a larger quantity of it from them, and based upon this experience, I expect I will try samples of other tobaccos in 7 seas line....Read More

With so many 5-Stars I am reluctant to pile on; however I can’t resist bragging on a great smoke. Smooth, chocolaty, with a hint of vanilla. A relaxing, tasty pipe.

There's nothing wrong with this bland at all, it's balanced, has good flavor and aroma, but there's also nothing that really stands out or excites me. However this is something you could just puff away on all day.

A little more burley in this than other 7 Seas aromatics, and so it comes across with a deeper molasses/brown sugar sweetness more so than honey. Granted, the caramel was a topping, but burley goes better with it than a Virginia Cavendish. This is sweet, creamy and flavorful. I taste brown sugar, butter, vanilla, caramel and chocolate. cool burning with a muddled finish but pleasant aftertaste. Doesn't get bitter and won't bite. There's very little nicotine in this....Read More
