Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake Aged two Years

[Etipton]

Title edited. Capitalize proper names.

Just lit up a bowl of aged vanilla roll cake and dang this stuff is some kinda good, I liked it fresh out of the tin but after sitting jarred for almost two years it is significantly better, sweeter and smoother. In my opinion I would rate this out of the tin a 6 out of 10 and after aging I would rate this easily a 9 out 10. Grab a tin and enjoy!!

Definitely a blend that’s on my radar. Maybe I’ll grab some now and not worry about getting to it for a while!

I can see why folks love this. I purchased some not long ago and smoked two bowls. Definitely a quality blend. I appreciate the effort to ensure the vanilla casing is not too strong and complementary of the tobacco. That said, I'm not sure it's my thing. I'll tuck it away for a while and come back to it.

Is it smothered in PG? What's the difference between this and Vanilla Flake?

Not at all, very subtle vanilla but extremely pleasant, really the only difference is the cut both smoke great but I think the roll cake rubs out a tad easier

The ? is quality to start and the vanilla bean “extract” is natural and not overwhelming applied. It’s the only vanilla blend that I truly enjoy. ?️

I just checked my cellar spreadsheet and I have 1 tin of Flake from 2019. Maybe I will break that baby open. I have been craving vanilla for a change up lately.

Iv had similar experience to flake and loose. Everything just rounds out a little more after a few years.

It was maybe last year I picked up a box of flake and compared it to a 2019 tin I was smoking. A notable smoothness improvement on the tin so great to hear the roll might be similar.

In reading the astounding reviews for this blend, I purchased two tins. Most reviews are correct in that there are fine tobaccos within this blend. We expect nothing less from Mac Baren. Being the novice aero smoker that I am, I was expecting a vanilla flavor bomb. My expectations far exceeded my observation. I expected an aero tobacco to be on the moisture side but mine was on the side of crispy. Mine came from SP so I know it had not been on a warehouse shelf for long. I will allow the jarred remains and the unopened tin to remain on my cellar shelf for a few years. Perhaps I, or those that receive my tobacco leftovers upon my demise will enjoy then more fully.

Didn't care for it much.

This is good to know, as it has become my favorite vanilla aromatic. My one sealed tin just passed the year mark, and the additional bit that I have jarred is also close to that age. I look forward to seeing what happens over time, as is the case with basically all my other blends.
