Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal 3.5oz
New to pipes; I really enjoyed 7 Seas Royal. Open the tin and you will immediately be greeted by a soothing aroma. The blend of Cavendesh, Virginia, and Burley are well balanced. Smoke slow or you will encounter a mild toung bite. Very relaxing tho... Read More

Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal 3.5oz
Another good aromatic from Mac Barens 7 Seas line. This one is a tad less sweet than the Regular blend but has a fruity quality. Personally i like the regular better but this is definitely 2nd place. Smokes cool and dry, can do this all day as well.

I bought a tin of this in a local store years ago and it kept well, smoked great every time. Fine blend with a smooth flavor and subtle room note. I keep this in my rotation. Good stuff!

Pleasant Smell and Taste
June 14, 2023
Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal 3.5oz
Smooth and creamy vanilla flavor, and a room note that is second to none. Smells like sweet vanilla, with a subtle plum note. My wife let's me smoke this indoors, and the neighbors love when I smoke it outside.

Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal 3.5oz

so as this has become a fixture in my general rotation. I've even dedicated a pipe to it. Great burning qualities, very easy to get lit, and a very good tobacco flavor that is wonderfully complimented with what ever magic topping that MacBaren uses here. It smells great and taste great. It has even been my experience that I can start a bowl the night before and pick it right back up the next evening and it still smokes wonderfully. I simply adore this tobacco. Read Less

Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal 3.5oz
While certainly smokable straight from the tin, I like to let a bowls-worth air out for about 25 minutes before packing. Once lit it keeps going and the lovely sweet flavors persist throuout the bowl. I think it's very accessible for new pipe smokers... Read More

Memphis Pipe Club Review
March 10, 2015
Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal 3.5oz
From Phil C:
Sporting the regular 7 Seas motif, the Royal Blend arrives in an attractive tin with a navy blue lid. I broke the vacuum seal with a dime and unscrewed the top. Inside, the packing was simple and trim with a fan fold tissue holding the ... Read More
trademarked paper disk above the tobacco.
Pleasant initial impression: black and gold, ribbon cut, moist and slightly aromatic with the slightest hint of fruit (peach, apricot, perhaps?) and a suggestion of rum. I found it easy to load into the bowl of my squat bulldog and in short order I packed, lit, and began the first bowl. The bowl lit fast, easy, and burned well. With just a bit of tamp and draw, I had no problem keeping the blend lit and never needed to relight.
It was a cool burn. My bulldog has a smooth finish and the bowl warmed comfortably in my hand. Some of the aromatics Iโve smoked burn hot enough to warrant the choice of a bowl with a rougher finish in order to dissipate more heat. Not the case here at all. Cool burn, no residue travelling up the bit and little to no bite on the tongue.
The aroma was pleasant enough to draw attention and favorable comments from some non-smokers around us. I made a careful note that this is one I can smoke in the house.
Flavor was delicate and consistent, all the way to the bottom of the bowl which, at the end, yielded clean ash and a tiny black plug. There was no unpleasant aftertaste as I slid a pipe cleaner into my trusty bulldog.
My club-mates thought the mixture a bit too moist out of the can and each had to relight a few times to keep their bowls going, but we all agreed the MacBaren 7 Seas Royal Blend was a fine smoke.
8 out of 10.

Product: Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal 3.5oz
I am going to start out by saying this will be my five star due to the combination of sweet, spicey, and a way of being nice and complex through the whole smoke. I return to this as my primary smoke no matter what aromatic I try. Now, maybe because... Read More
I am a rookie to the pipe smoking world my palate leans towards the sweeter aromatic smokes. I find that most heavier English blends are a punch in the face. Plus they can wind up being a real one once my wife smells anything but my Royal. Plus, not only does my wife love the smell she calls "vanilla wafer", no one has complained to me about the room note. In fact a few friends of mine who chew tobacco have even tasted my Royal and loved it! If you are new to the pipe, give a try. If you do not like it send the rest to me. Read Less

Absolutely one of my Top 3 aromatics! I love it so much, I bought this one in bulk this time. I had some empty Royal tins, and decided to pack them full! Again, wonderful tin note and even non-smokers appreciate the intoxicating aroma when fired up.

and keep coming back to theirs. I purchased a 1oz bulk of Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal and I have to say it's fantastic! The smell out of the bag is great--a little sweet smell with some hints of chocolate or butter-rum in addition to the smell of the virginias and the cavendish. Just a well rounded smell. The char light was great; a semi-sweet taste that tasted just like the smell. As I continued to smoke it, no bitter after taste, no tongue bite, and every now and again, a really nice sample of that buttery-rum. Just an all around great smoke! Read Less

This tobacco blend has a great aroma, and I find myself inhaling the scent from a new package a lot when I have it around. Flavourful, but not overpowering, with a nice room note, and nice smokability.
