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.

Lights easy and stays lit, but burns hot; though the tin I got seemed to be a little dry so that might be the problem. Tin note smells great. Flavoring is very light allowing the flavor of the tobaccos to shine through.

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 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.

good smoke

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.

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.
