Mac Baren 7 Seas Gold

Good

I'm only returned to smoking pipes in the last 18 months (Covid did it to me). I realized that a lot of why I quit once before was that I was unsatisfied with the bit and flavors from most tobaccos. Call me a wimp, but I like mild flavor, and little bite. I love MacBaren 7 seas gold for the flavor, mellow and yet substantial. Great tobacco..

It is my first experience with this tobacco, I can say that it is exactly what I expected, that is, a discreet aromatic flavor without tongue biting. It smells very good when you open the box, it burns without problems but you have to smoke slowly, to taste it better! In fact, the entire 7 Seas line is of great quality. It will be one of the great preferences in my rotation! Thanks P&C!

This has been my regular blend for at least 5 years. Nice light blend and the aromatic flavor is not overbearing. Everyone loves the aroma too.

Good balance of blended tobaccos . One you can smoke all day without tongue bite.

I tried the 7 Sea's gold for the first time and was surprised how it smoked. It's mild and cool smoking and slow burning. It's my favorite night time tobacco now.

Smooth and flavorful

Lighter than professor blend. Nice light taste.

Compare to same tobaco in can from sampler have strange bidder taste. I like this one because of light taste.

Seven seas blends are all great.

This tobacco is awesome! High quality leaf and the flavor is of a much more expensive tobacco. The Smoke is cool and the flavor is delicious. If you like aromatic smoking you will love this one.

7 Seas Gold is a pleasant, smooth smoke. I find it an excellent break from more robust tobaccos and enjoy it as such.

Great

As a fairly new to pipe smoking dude I don't have much frame of reference but I’ll do my best to review this pipe tobacco. I purchased this brand because I thought it might be similar to Captain Black Gold. I was not wrong. It is however a little less sweet overall. It lights With ease and smokes for a long while. Nutty,caramel, vanilla with a slight scotch finish are what I’ve detected in the flavor department. I’ve enjoyed it very much and will definitely buy it again!

great to mix with creme brule

I tried this early on in my search for the best vanilla blend(s) for me. 7 Seas Gold is not bad at all - but it did help me to discover that I am not as enthusiastic about straight Virginia blends. This one is light and sweet, with a subtle and complex vanilla about it. Again, if you like the light grassy nature of straight Virginias, this will be great for you. Turns out I prefer more chewy combos that include dark Cavendishes, either VA (such as the MB Vanilla Cream), or Burleys (such as the Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish).

Smooth... smells great!

Very good, would definitely buy again.

The best Virginia tobacco I have smoked in long time - very smooth smoke and mild with a hint of vanilla. That's an excellent tobacco to start the day - a true keeper on my list.

great price for quality

Great!

Very good Very good by

Its decent, better than the Regular in my opinion but its good.

It's a very mild tobacco, very good smoke.

50 Plus year pipe smoker. This is is a smooth and flavorful blend.

One of my favorite's. Smooth and pleasent smoke. Will always have plenty in my stockpile of tabacco.

Perfect

Deliciously sweet and smooth. A slight toasted nutty flavor on the exhale. Wonderful smoke all the way to the bottom of the bowl.

Not as good as Royal Blend Royal Blend smells smokes better

A cool, smooth smoking pipe tobacco that will have you grabbing another pipe for a follow-up smoke.

I have smoked pipes in the past, and after several years started smoking them again. I have learned a lot about pipe smoking, cleaning, and packing thru this web site as well as u-tube. I have tried many types of Pipe Tobacco over the years and I have now found my go to Tobacco, " Mac Baren 7 Seas Gold ". I purchased this the last month or so, and have smoked several Bowls of it. It is the 1st tobacco that I have found that does not bite my tongue. Mild, Burns Good, Stays Lit, and has a pleasant aroma. I will try other Tobaccos, but for now I have found the one for me. I highly recommend anyone looking for a great smoke to try this.

Macbaren Seven Seas Gold has made my Latakia withdrawal almost painless. Good balance of taste and strength, comfortable any time of day, and the price for the quality.

I purchased Mac Baren 7 Seas Gold for my husband as part of a Mac Baren sampler. He loved them all but the 7 Seas Gold was a new favorite!

My new favourite! This is the best ever. Mellow yet flavourful.

doesn't want to light or stay lit. cotton candy caramel candy corn fudge style sweetness. maybe rub and looser packing would help. i mixed it in layers with a non-aromatic and aged it anerobic for a few weeks and tried it today happily

Was hoping for a fuller more creamy smoke.

Smooth from beginning to end. A very enjoyable smoke

I prefer milder tobaccos. This has a nice flavor and has a pleasant aroma.

I liked the 7 Seas Original white tin tobacco so much, that I figured I'd try a few others so I bought a tin of this one as well as a tin of the 7 Seas Royal. The Gold is definitely better than the Royal, but still not nearly as good as the Original (white). Don't get me wrong, 7 Seas Gold isn't a bad tobacco. But it doesn't stand out as anything remarkable either. I like it, and will finish the tin, but I probably wouldn't buy it a second time. It's pleasant, but I suppose you could say it's a little bland for lack of a better term.

It's wet. And it stays wet. I've left the tin open in dry air and still wet. Pack lightly in dry pipe and you'll be good to go. Nice mild-medium-middle of the road-reliable-regular-tobacco.

A little to harsh for me but overall a good smoke. Burns well and has a nice aroma.

Outstanding! Smokes cool and easy. Only 1 relight on first bowl. I'm a beginner but must say great smoke. Cool smooth and mellow. If u like this also try captain black gold. The captain black gold has more bite to it. After a friend gave a few pointers I was able to smoke it with no relighting.

I'm fairly new to pipes and am still trying a variety of pipe tobaccos. After smoking a full bowl of each of the MacBaren 7 Seas (minus Red because I don't like cherry), I tossed out the other tobaccos I had. The bar has been raised!

I usually don't smoke "Golden Blends"...I'm more into Black Cavendish...but this one surprised me. It's a nice soft smoke for the daytime puff (and you can save the dark heavy blends for the evening.)

I had read some reviews so decided to give it a try. This is a mellow smoke with just enough flavor. Doesn't bite or burn hot.

Are used to smoke a pipe many years ago and gave it up just recently started back up trying all the different blends again to see how my pallet has changed. As far as purchasing products from P&C every transaction has gone off without a hitch.

good smoke

Actually I just bought 7 Seas Gold and Red. Both are very similar but the sauces and casings that are added for specific flavors may add a bite in the smoke, something 7 Seas Royal Blend, Molto Dolce or Lane Dark Red have not done.

Excellent surface. Excellent smoke. I will be back

To me this is a mild smoke, not memorable but pleasant. I get a slight anise odor in the tin that is barely noticed in the nose. The cut is very fine and needs to be packed lightly to get a good draw.

Lightly aromatic tobacco with no bite that is a smooth all day smoke. I prefer Mac Barens 7 Seas Red but enjoyed this also.

This is a Virginia based Cavendish alright. The casing is different from CBG or MV-1000. If you like those you may not like this. It isn't as heavily flavored as either of them. If you want more pure tobacco flavor however it may be perfect. It lights with little effort and burns well. No tongue bite if smoked slow. Has good aroma and taste on the palate. Paced easily as its a fine ribbon cut. Not a thing wrong with it at all. Is just a different Virginia Cavendish than what most expect. Give it a try if you like Virginia aromatics you won't be disappointed. I like all of Mc Barnes 7 Seas series. Good, well blended tobaccos at good prices and are available in bulk.

I think I may have finally found my "all day" smoke! I recently purchased a couple of ounces of Mac Baren's 7 Seas Royal and really enjoyed it. But, I thought I might try the other aromatics in the 7 Seas series so I purchased an ounce of Regular and Gold. While the scent in the bag of Regular reminds me of chocolate or cocoa, it's taste was rather bland. However, the scent of Gold in the bag was mildly sweet vanilla caramel smell--not over powering, just kind of present. But, the taste! Wow! There's such a slight sweetness to this smoke. It doesn't matter what pipe I use, that hint of caramel sweetness is there. It's fantastic! I HIGHLY recommend it.

This 7 Seas Gold is the same great tobacco I have always smoked and blended. If you are a fan of good quality Virginia then you need to try Mac Baren's 7 Seas Gold. It is incredible smoked alone or blended with your favorites. I may stray away and experiment with other tobaccos, but I always keep coming home to my 7 Seas Gold !

Great aroma, no tongue bite. A definite winner!

Pretty good smoke I prefer Mac Baren original to it.

Nicely done tobacco with a sweet hue that provides an enjoyable smoke experience. Nicely done.

I really enjoy this tobacco. I originally purchased this in a 7 Seas Sampler; but I liked it so well that I ordered more. I haven't tried the other 7 Seas types yet, but Gold has set the bar really high in my opinion. I should say that I definitely prefer aromatic blends and that I tend to lean towards the vanilla flavored tobacco. I will say that it tends to gurgle in my briar pipes (I've tried it in several different briars). Probably all it takes is letting in air out for a while; but I haven't taken the time to do that yet! 4 stars in my opinion.
