Just picked up a tin of each of these at my local B&M any suggestions or thoughts on either of these two blends?? Also found out a nice little bit of information that at my B&M is the last pipe club meeting in town that i had no clue was there! Learn something new everyday.

Vanilla Cream Loose Cut is my favourite vanilla blend. You can definitely taste the vanilla cream, but it's not too overwhelming. It marries nicely with the leaf combination.
7 Seas Royal Blend was my intro into the 7 Seas line and it was wonderful. I think their site mentions vanilla and a fruit like casing, but I mostly tasted vanilla, rum, and caramel. It's a great aromatic. Very smooth with a nice flavouring.
Neither of them have given me any "bite" problems, and most review sites mention that of the dread Mac Baren biters these two are not. Most of the time both are reccommended to new smokers. Very good tin note, taste note, and room note.

I keep reading more and more about Vanilla Cream and now I'm really tempted to try it sometime.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on it, ck12.

Hey josh i just smoked the first bowl of the vanilla cream flake and it was a great smoke. Had a little trouble on the initial light but that tends to happen with me with flakes. After that though it smoked cool and slow and the vanilla flavor is definitely there but not over powering at all, i tasted rum and sweetness possibly a little caramel but either way it was a smooth smoke and i enoyed it very much. Might just have another bowl to finish my night later tonight, seems like it would be a good last taste to have.
