incredible aromatic.

Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
I was pretty much an all McClelland guy and one of my favorites was their vanilla cavendish, and was gutted when they closed down, then just by random chance i picked up a tin of this on a whim and holy crap. I found my replacement. Its absolutely no... Read More
thing like the McClelland blend but in a great way, its light, smooth, full of rich tobacco flavor AND vanilla and the balance is absolutely perfect. What a great slow burning, mellow and rich smoke. Down to the last little bit of ash. Read Less
For A Great Aromatic Flake Grab This
March 15, 2015
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
If you're looking for a nice aromatic flake with a pleasant room note then look no further. The vanilla smell is raved about by those around you. It comes through nicely in the flavor. The wonderful sweet Virginias and Black Cavendish come through ni... Read More
cely. It does need a bit of drying time. After that it does pack well, I fold and stuff. It takes a light nicely and burns cool and evenly. It can bite a bit if you push it. As it's a flake it's meant to be smoked slowly. Overall it's a great blend that I try to keep a tin of around at all times. Read Less

Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
At first I was completely disappointed in this baccy and actually tried giving it away on youtube. No one offered to take it, so it sat in a mason jar for about six months or so. I gave it a shot again and boy was I surprised. The tongue bite was gre... Read More

My neighbour was so kind to share a flake with me the other evening after just purchasing the tin earlier in the day. Very nice smoke!! I just wanted to smoke it all day! But like most MacB's tobacco, smoke slow or you will get a bite.

The vanilla fragrance is strong out of the tin. But the taste is exceptional. Sip it slow and it is so tasty. Sip it harder and it is still a great tobacco. One I will keep in the rotation for sure
An aromatic I can live with.

I don't usually smoke aromatics, but picked up a tin of this on a whim and I must say I'm really enjoying it. The moisture content right out of the tin is pretty low, which enhances its smoking properties though it does make the flakes very crumbly a... Read More
nd a bit tricky to load, but once it's lit you are in for a quiet, smooth-burning and flavorful ride. I will definitely keep some of this around, and watch for similarly well made aromatic flakes from MacBaren. I would recommend this to my flake-loving fellows who get the occasional itch to re-live their pipe-smoking "youth" smoking vanilla flavored aromatics. It's the good stuff you remember, without the gooey reminders of what you didn't. Read Less
Reshaping my aromatics
September 10, 2020
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
Of late I have begun to appreciate the English and more pure tobacco blends. On the other hand, my wife has not concurred with how I smell. So, instead of the goopy cased flavors, I’ve been hunting a better room note without the wet and overdone pro... Read More
cesses. This does it! It’s a more natural smoke. The vanilla is not overpowering. It is subtly sweet. Importantly, the room note and “beard residue” will not lead to divorce. The tin note is certainly of vanilla. The flake gives you the feel of high quality. It burns well unless you work it hard, it will get a bit wet and hot if you do. Great compromise for those you share space with without turning your back on fine tobacco! Read Less
brilliant balance

Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
Vanilla screams out of the freshly opened tin. The wafers of tobacco are beautiful however a little dry. Smokes nice without being rushed, rush your cadence and it bites bad. This is a smoke you enjoy slowly while the fall leaves blow across the yard... Read More
not hurried just relaxed. The room note is very pleasant a is the mild tobac. I will enjoy the rest of the tin and absolutely order another or two. Read Less

Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
First impression, love the tin art! The tin I opened had a barely perceptible Vanilla note. The moisture content directly out of the tin was perfect for an immediate smoke. Very smooth smoke and the only hint of the Vanilla was on the retrohale. I th... Read More

Good blend but not for beginners

Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
I've been smoking a pipe for 2 weeks, so my palate has not adjusted to something like this particular blend. Upon opening the jar I picked up a flake and it just fell apart in my hand, it was very dry. My lack of experience in aromatics aromatics cou... Read More
ld be my problem and not the blend, I just needed to say that for the new pipe tobacco smokers smokers. I found for my pallet no matter how slow I smoked it I found the bite very harsh. The aroma was okay upon opening opening, nothing at all like the aroma I get from other tobacco Blends like Nutty Irishman, Peter stokkebye luxury twist flake flake. I will have to give a further update after further smoking this blend. Read Less
Burns hot
January 29, 2018
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
Burns hot and bites even when dried and smoked slow. Had a good room note but not a great taste. There are many better options out there for a decent aromatic. It came very dry in the tin and broke into very fine pieces. Probably the worst tasting to... Read More

Mac Baren Vanilla Cream is one of Mac Barens best aromatics. It has a good vanilla flavor, but can burn hot. Dry this one out before smoking.
Wait....

Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
At first it was ok, but after the 5th bowl, I just kept wanting more. And the smoke was harsh as I am a beginner, but it was not bad and just keeps getting better. Overall, a good step back from my sweet dessert blends!

Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
I like this tobacco. It doesn't really like me as much. I have tried it in several pipes and it likes to burn hot on me. I had to slow down a bit, which helps. It's leaves a very very nice room note. For a social smoke, I would recommend it. It... Read More

Tastes good; bites hard!
August 19, 2012
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
This is a good tasting flake and the vanilla doesn't overpower the sweetness of the Virginia. The only drawback is the severity of bite as compared to, say MacBaren's Virginia Flake.
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
Such a delightful smoke. Tin note is lite and not too heavy, about 20 mins out of the tin and its ready to go. Very recommended.
Great Flake Aromatic

This is a wonderful full flavor and balanced blend in flake form. Cool smoke, and slow burning, with a rich taste. Highly Recommend.

I blend this half and half with MB Virginia #1 and it's the best smoke you will ever have.

Burns great. Tastes great. No bite. Lovely flake. One of my staple vanillas.
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
Finally got around to buying a tin of this highly spoken about flake and God Damn did it hit every note. Only had one bowl and that's really all it takes when a great tobacco comes into your mix.
Fantastic Room Note

All day smoke
March 10, 2021
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
It’s the best vanilla blend I’ve had. The topping isn’t shy, but not cloying either. But it’s the underlying tobaccos that make it so great. That rich tobacco flavor is always there, and I bet an untopped version would be a superb Virginia flake.
The only aromatic I like

Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
I generally don’t like aromatics. It is a mild tobacco, aroma is amazing. Baked goods, cherries? Chocolate, camp fire? Vanilla? That’s what everyone tells me I smell like. It’s mild vanilla subtle tobacco that hasn’t burnt me yet.

연초향이 크리미한 바닐라 향으로 은은하게 나타납니다
향연초는 아니고 구수한 버지니아와 함께 어우러져
그렇게 진한 향은 아닌 거 같습니다
불을 붙이고 달달함이 느껴지나
연무가 입에서 뿜어져 나온 뒤 입안에 단맛이 느껴집니다

Should be noted my tin was broken flake. It’s a nice pleasant smoke good vanilla flavor later in the pipe
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
I am not a aromatic smoker. But when I do smoke such blend, I tend to keep corn cob handy. And Smoke English aromatic blends which tend to have latakia forward. With that being said, let's see what this flake is all about.
The flake is just like any... Read More
other blends in their lines. Moisture content is en pointe that you can smoke it right off the bat. It does not give any tongue bites. So that's good.
also, when you dry em too much, thinking it would subdue the vanilla flavor. NO! No matter what you do this will retain its vanilla flavor. Casing is done well here. Still very subtle and not full on your face strong flavor. I visit this blend from time to time. Read Less
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
Has good flavor. Not goopy with a quality tobacco taste in background. Little drying time helps it shine
Product: Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 16oz
Still my favorite aromatic, the topping seems continuous with casing, and has a rich complex flavor right to the bottom, and takes on a rooty, herbal tea taste as the bowl progresses. J always look forward to it.

Not much tin note, and not much vanilla detected while smoking. The flake cut wasn't worth the effort. Prefer Captain Black Original over this.
