Hello everyone and Happy New Year. I have some MB 7 Seas Gold Blend. I would appreciate some assistance in dating them and would like to hear opinions on what to expect from this blend.

Best regards,
Migwar

@Brendan It is being smoked. The question is for knowledge, sharing and hearing other opinions.

If you have something to share about this tobacco go ahead.

Not something I would buy or smoke myself, however as far as I know it was Macbarens equivalent to the Captain Black ranges of aromatics, copying the same colour scheme. Tobacco Reviews.com would be worthwhile to peruse for more in depth analysis from fans of the genre. I've only sampled the Royal 7 seas blend myself, although I'm not an aromatics man (yet, who knows) it smelled fantastic and tasted good, just not enough nicotine. Like drinking zero alcohol beer or decaffeinated coffee ; just not my bag.

Hope you enjoy it though.

Got your point, thank you. I am a new pipe smoker, that's why I care to hear to compare until that I build and have a mature taste. Thank you so much for your input.

Yeah, I found the age question a bit odd as aromatic blends like that generally don't change with ageing, or benefit.
I think there is too much obsession lately with ageing on blends, but maybe that's just me.

Hoping you get more genuine answers from the guys here that smoke the 7 seas on the regular.
