Quality Smoke, Mild Vanilla
July 13, 2018
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Cream 3.5oz
I had very high hopes when I cracked the lid on this tin. The tin note was overwhelmingly powerful. A nice delicious vanilla creamy cupcake smell that even Boswell would have trouble competing with. Those hopes faded a bit when I lit a bowl up. Altho... Read More
ugh not as much sweet or vanilla taste as I had hoped for, if you sip it slowly and slightly breathe through your nose you will get a little sweet vanilla fairly often. Drying for about 30 minutes prior to smoking and packing it a bit lighter than normal helps as well. Pack too tight it gets wet and hot. The room note is fantastic. My wife, who hates all my tobacco except for a couple Boswell brands like raspberry cream or berry cobbler says this one actually smells terrific and I'll have to give it that. It makes your house smell like a cake shop. Absolutely amazing.
The tobacco quality in this is excellent. Far and above any overcased drug store brand you will ever smoke, just not as sweet or cakey as you expect from the tin note. Iām hoping this will satisfy my sweet craving when I want to smoke something other than Nightcap or Sqaudron Leader. This will likely become a tobacco that I stock up 5-8 tins of as it does make for a nice smoke. Read Less
The textbook experienced smoker aromatic
November 13, 2016
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Cream 3.5oz
This is a really beautiful tobacco. One that's very foretelling of Mac Baren brand of blends. The note is quite elegant and regal with a light colour and the crest of HH in the top. Upon opening the tin, you're welcomed with a sunshine of light virgi... Read More
nias, and a seeded earth black of Cavendish. The tin aroma is reminiscent of fresh bakery at a local patisserie. It is in excellent moisture content out of the tin and I recommend you smoke it as so without drying as it will take away a bit of the flavour and aroma. The tobacco cut is excellent, it's a mix of long ribbons and broken flakes, it backs well and can pack tightly without hindering the draw and it leaves a little bit of nice aroma on your finger tips. Also a dry draw test reveal the flavour profile in a teasing way. Upon first light the ribbons catch a nice kindle, but the flakes require a bit of attention.. But once lit, it stays so, and burns well to a perfect, white ashy bottom with a few to none relights. The body of it is quite medium and the aroma makes me inhale the smoke with my nose to get more of it. And the taste is pretty nice and never overpowering. It gives me hints of Vanilla and some creamy, pastry flavour as if it is a freshly made croissant baked with honey. I thoroughly enjoy it, despite my lesser tendency towards aromatics and I see this making my rotation.

Mac Baren is such a great tobacco company. Not only do they have such a great lineup of there own, plus the HH line, and now Sutliff, but they also distribute so many other lines to the States that I call favorites. I love them so much, so it pains m... Read More
e to say, āI don't know what went wrong with Vanilla Creamā? So many reviewers that I thought I trusted led me to this one and I have struggled with it ever since (nah, I still trust those reviewers). There is just something about Vanilla Cream that seems so harsh on my palate. I get the vanilla in the tin note and occasionally the flavor too, but most of the time I feel like I'm having to fight it all the way. In the end, it's just not worth the hassle. I don't need another vanilla tobacco, I have plenty of go-to blends in that genre, some of which are probably also by Mac Baren, lol. So, if you like Mac Baren's Vanilla Cream, great. I think that's great, but after struggling to enjoy nearly 100 grams for over a year, I'm cellaring what I have in hopes that age will do it justice. The Virginia will only mellow and sweeten. Maybe some of the flavoring will be lost, but maybe that's what it needs. I'll pull it out in a year or two and give it another try. Until then I'm keeping my fingers crossed and moving on. Hope this helps. UPDATE (August 2022): I had the opportunity to revisit this blend blindly, and not only did I find it tasty, I found myself drawn to it. For about a week, it occupied my pipes. Now tasting creamy confectionery flavors, I mistakenly guessed it was Bill Bailey's Birthday Blend, so imagine my surprise when I learned what it was. Since then, I've had to revisit my initial review and feel it is worth an extra star. It's still not something I'd smoke regularly, but it has shown that it can be a nice blend to visit. It's also reminded me that no matter how many blends we smoke, or how much we think we know what we'll like, our palate is always changing and it's good to revisit even blends we didn't necessarily like.

Faint vanilla taste

The tobacco just arrived and I packed my pipe for an after dinner sweet smoke. To be honest I expected a lot more vanilla and sweet cream taste which this tobacco did not produce. It is an ok tobacco but definitely not what I expected.
Sweet, all around good aromatic
December 01, 2019
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Cream 3.5oz
I picked up some of this a couple of months ago. I cracked the tin open to have a look and smell. Very strong, sweet vanilla tin note like a vanilla cupcake with buttercream. Similar chunky cut to Mac Baren's Scottish Mixture, like nice little twigs.... Read More
I jarred it up and left it alone until this afternoon when I was craving a sweet afternoon smoke. I'm thoroughly pleased with this tobacco. Packs and lights easily, requiring very little tamping and only one relight at the bottom 1/3 of the bowl. Medium body to the smoke. I don't usually expect tons of flavor from aromatics, but this one delivers (like other Mac Baren aromatics I've had). Mild vanilla notes and sweet, bready notes from the virginias. Room note is like a cake baking. Mild nic hit. This is definitely one I'll revisit when I have that sweet craving, or want to smoke around others who would appreciate the heavenly smell. Read Less
Did they forget the Vanilla?
December 12, 2018
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Cream 3.5oz
I don't care for over-the-top flavorings, but I do like a bit of flavor especially when they advertise it as such. I compare it with Sutliff's Vanilla Custard and with that this tobacco is very weak.
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Bulk
I'm a beginner pipe smoker, so take what I say with a grain of salt, although I have smoked cigars for some time. When I first opened the bag I got a smell of pure tobacco, no vanilla or cream. Smoking it brought out a hint of vanilla, but still no c... Read More
ream. Not as flavorful as I would've hoped, but still a good tobacco flavor. Room note is of slight cherry, so I'm not sure where that came from. Burns really nice with a moderate amount of moisture. Overall a good smoke, just not very "aromatic". Read Less
Vanilla all around
May 10, 2020
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Cream 3.5oz
With some aromatics you sometimes get 1 or maybe 2 out of the 3 characteristics (strength - room note - taste). To me, this one gets high marks for all 3. I have at least a half a dozen other vanilla aromatics and this one is by far the best in all ... Read More
3 categories. The strength isn't too powerful nor too weak. The room note of vanilla is very distinct ( I don't know why the review only gives it a 1 dot ). And the taste is great as well. Vanilla all the way. So, to me anyway, MacBarrens Vanilla Cream is the best tasting, best smelling vanilla flavored tobacco that's not too under or over powering to smoke that I've tried so far.

Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Cream 3.5oz
This was my first ever pipe tobacco and had a very amazing tin note as well as room note. Vanilla flavor did not disappoint. I have bought a couple tins over time. Definately worth buying for a creamy smooth smoke.

It is one of my basics that I have on hand. It has a nice aroma, but not over-powering. The tin note is truly very pleasing and it smokes very smoothly. I would recommend trying it if you wanted an aromatic that is not over-bearing.

Por el nombre me esperaba un sabor a vainilla dominante, pero lo cierto es que si bien tiene algo de dulzor, en este tabaco no vas a encontrar un aromƔtico potente. Durante toda la fumada los virginias son los protagonistas.

Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Cream 3.5oz
The vanilla did not come through for me at all in the smoke, a little bit in the tin note. It isn't a bad smoke though, needs to be dried or will give you nasty tongue bite.

yrup!) for a nice, dry flavor. I buy madagascar bean pods wholesale and flavor sugar with them. All of this is to say, I'm a nut for vanilla. I find it to be anything but "plain."
I also probably bring this up because this blend (the burning smell in the pipe) reminds me of the smell of madagascar beans. Vanilla is ubiquitous with pipe tobacco. As a condiment in casing or top note, it's hard to get away from. There are plenty of blends out there which are enhanced with a sweet vanilla flavor- The two most popular blends by lane and sutliff respectively are "vanilla" flavored blends. One of those is even decent..
But this is a far cry from that. I've tried just about every vanilla blend I can get my hands on but this is really the quintessential flavor I was looking for. Spicy, yet mellow, cooler than other macbaren blends, probably due to the ingenious inclusion of the cut plugs and cavendish.. Lots of nice, clean virginian flavor going on. The tobacco, as with other macbaren blends, comes through quite nicely. I'm really a fan. I don't drink a lot of soda, but this one goes great with an ice cold vanilla coke (made the way i described above) on a hot day. It's a similar flavor really.. That dry spicy sorta thing going on.. There are blends with far more complex flavors (I'm thinking of Dan tobacco) and there are certainly no shortage of blends that are sweeter, many of which are quite nice, but I can't think of a strictly vanilla flavored blend more satisfying than this one.

It was a bit on the dry side, as I expected something more akin to 7 Seas regular, yet undaunted I loaded up my larger billiard, a trust old briar from the '50s. Packed well, lit very well, and need only two matches for the whole bowl. A nice white ash, but not much in the way of flavour, no bite at all, light billowy fumes, but what really struck me was how this little bastard sent me straight to the thunder bucket and proceeded to beat the hell out of me from top to bottom, nine different ways from Sunday. Normally a nic-kick will show its ugly head over a period of time, but this fellow Sucker-Punched me in the worst way imaginable. Smoke in, dinner up, breakfast down, and a helluva mess to boot.
