   I really liked the flake-form of this blend

   Love the loose cut. Have yet to try the flake, but will probably add it with the next TAD.

   I didn't like the Vanilla Cream. Just didn't do it for me. I just tried the Mac Baren Seven Seas Royal recently. Very fruity upon opening the tin. Smoke it slow. Has a tendency to tongue bite but can be a mild smoke. I liked it but I can only smoke a couple of bowls before I have to give it a rest.

   Thanks for the advice. I still have'nt tried the 7 Seas Royal or the WO Larson but so far I still like my Altadis Blue Note.

   Vanilla Creme was one of the first tobaks I ever tried... and I hated it then.
   A few years later I brushed off the cobwebs off to try it again... still hate it.

   Call me crazy but I have trouble tasting the vanilla, and it's possible that it might just be me. Also, this burns the devil out of my mouth.

   Maybe I would have better luck with the loose cut??

   Vanilla Cream was my first "good" baccy. Before it, I'd had nothing but a rolling tobacco repackaged as pipe tobacco.
   So I love it, quite a bit.

    The MacB blends I've had do smoke a little warmer in the bowl, but haven't given me tongue bite at all. The 7 Seas Royal Blend is very good. Has a vanilla, rum, and caramel taste to it for me. It's a blend I'll smoke any time of the day. Itching to try the 7 Seas Red Blend when it eventually hits the shelves.

    I wasnt a huge fan myself.

    Tobacco tasting like dessert is not my cup of tea so to speak. Passed this tin to an aromatic lover after half a bowl. I don't like to post a negative comment, usually will just abstain from posting, but in this case I could'nt help myself.

    I recently tried Stanwell's Vanilla and I enjoyed it MUCH better than MacB's vanilla. Smoked much cooler, was more flavorful, and I actually did not have to relight, at all (that's rare for me).
