Glad this blend made the STG cut. I plan to get some more in the future. For the price, it's worth getting.

A good burning tobacco. Vanilla is there, nice and smooth. A good fairly dry aro.

A diferencia de los otros aromáticos Mac Baren conserva el sabor del tabaco junto con el de la vainilla haciendo de esta fumada un momento placentero y de perfecto equilibrio. Quema muy bien y a medida que avanzas los sabores del tabaco predominan de una forma balanceada. Una excelente elección si te gustan los aromáticos daneses sin exceso de aditivos y poca húmedas...Read More

Best aromatic yet!

Although fairly new at pipe smoking, I've tried several different types/brands. Most of them are *ok*, but often do not really taste like they smell. This one does! I was almost shocked. Open it up, smell the vanilla, light it up, taste the vanilla from the first puff. Great stuff.

VERY Good Danish Aromatic

I like this A LOT. No bite, which is a first for me in Mac Baren mixtures. This is a very rich and creamy vanilla – think vanilla custard, but not so powerful as to overtake the base tobaccos. The room note is exceptionally good and so expect others to remark positively on it. Vanilla Cream has some initial sweetness; a little honey and fruit (blackberry) contribute to that sweetness alongside the tart/bready/grassy golden VA. The cavendish provides some smoothness and creaminess while the burley imparts some body. Halfway yields a more tart (blackberry/citrus) flavor with a consistent underlying smoky or stoved vanilla. This is mild and fresh, which is very different than the Vanilla Flake, which imparts more fermented tobaccos in the base. Don’t attempt to cellar this thinking you’ll age the base and improve their flavor… you’ll lose the vanilla. If aged tobacco with vanilla is what you’re after, go with the Vanilla Flake. This is very light on nicotine: 1 out of 5. I must state though that MacBaren has been VERY inconsistent in years past… many of their products, aside from the HH Flake which is topnotch, has caused much discomfort through tongue, gum and lips. Their PH adjusted through their casings has been horrendously inconsistent, which has me wondering why this one was so different. Did Jensen change their procedure or do they now have better employees which are paying closer attention? I’m going to order another 8 oz, and I hope it tastes like this....Read More

Maybe I got a bad tin?

Tin note is very strong and punchy. Clear vanilla aroma rounded out with a Boston cream custard finish. I've had a few bowls in my meerschaum so far. I saw a lot of positive reviews on here and in the YTPC. Several folks mentioned at least a minute to dry out. That is where I started. The next bowls, I quickly moved to five and then ten minutes to no avail. Flavor after the char is clearly vanilla with a thick creamy smoke. Retrohale reminds me of a tangy Boston cream custard that quickly turns a bit artificial. Around the 10 min mark it erupts into an inferno despite my best Muttonchop breath work. Typically, this works to keep everything else nice and cool, even 7 seas. But not this stuff. The flavor goes sideways at this point. The vanilla flavor vanishes and is replaced by motor oil, tar, and a hint of sour wet Virginias. I keep at it to try and subdue this lava demon in my pipe. About twenty minutes in and roughly a third of the way through the bowl it calms down. Most of the vanilla has volatilized and you arrive at a Virgina flavor with a hint of cavendish. about a hour in and 2/3 of the way through the bowl the vanilla is back. The retrohale is now a bready vanilla cup cake, sweetness is typical virgina. Room note is spiced honey bun. Reduces completely to Fluffy white ash. Tongue bite... oh the tongue bite. This is nothing like I've experienced before. My tongue goes completely numb for a few days. My palate is basically sandpaper for the same duration. There has to be some sort of additive in here that isn't in their other blends that generates a very caustic smoke. I'll stash this one for a while, but the tin says it was made Jan 2023, so my hope that this gets better with time feels like wishful thinking. I'll try some other packing techniques on future bowls... you know, when I'm again in the mood to ruin my mouth for a few days....Read More

Not much to say about the blend, it's my first review.

I am young and still foolish so take this review with grains of salt. I have bought this blend among many others as my first couple of tobaccos. I first smoked it in a clay pipe, as I've read that they give a neutral flavor, so I have clay pipes dedicated to new blends. And well as I first started smoking I smoked it too hard and too hot. However, months later, my dog and I walk through the alley in a misty damp night at 2am, everyone is asleep. I smoked a bowl of this in my briar, it was flavorful throughout the whole bowl, truly sweet Virginia. I walked with my dog and thought many things, tasting this sweet smoke. It was not overpowering at all in anything, nicotine, flavor, tongue bite, it was simply perfect for the context. Perfectly mild, wonderfully sweet, yet tobacco flavor still shines through. I'm young, old enough to buy beer, and I love beer. But it really does shock me how so little people engage in pipe tobacco smoking, what a pleasure, so much history and lore to learn! I'm glad that my immediate family and some close friends are getting into it, and I'm always happy to share with them. Try some of this, just buy one ounce and give it a shot, I hope you can get the same enjoyment out of it that I have!...Read More

This has to be my favorite vanilla by far. It's sweet, cool smoking and wonderful to everyone else around me.

Nice cool burning tobbaco.

This is a nice sweet cool smoking tobbaco. The vanilla flavor is very subtle but nice. Room note is also very nice but not as good as the Mac Barren Vanilla Custard.
