Seven Seas Gold A Simple Review of A Simple Tobacco.

[anotherbob]

Just popped a tin of this one. The best way I can put it is if you've ever tried Captain Black and thought wow this is almost good but there is too much of that weird "chemical" taste and the tobacco could be slightly higher quality, then Seven Sails is for you. I would unequivocally review to it as gourmet Captain Black. For one thing to get this tobacco to bite you would almost require intent (I always check the parameters of a new blend to see where the bite starts.). It is what it states and nothing more. It's basic good tobacco with a nice creamy vanilla flavor that doesn't completely cover the tobacco taste. Also the room note is really good, heck even that lady that normal does that fake coughing stuff had to tell me it smelled nice.

This is a good description of Seven Sails. This and 1Q are about my only regular Aromatics.

Yes I certainly do. Now how do I edit a title?

I never liked 1Q I almost liked 1Q there is something in there that just is off to my palate, wait I love 1Q in other peoples pipes not my own. The Seven Seas really tastes like 1Q or Captain Black without that weird taste.

Haven't tried their Gold version (that's the white tin, isn't it?). All I've had is Royal and Black. How does Gold compare to those?

I like my aromatics way tobacco forward, and this one doesn't sound that way, though pretty good anyway. But thank you for the up front description.

Way back when I first started with this pipe stuff I preferred the Royal to the regular and the gold.

Oh there! I did have my colours wrong: white is regular, red is cherry, navy is Royal, and gold is, well, Gold.
