Smooth and flavorful

Lighter than professor blend. Nice light taste.

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.

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

Great if you are looking for a mellow smoke with a nice light vanilla note. Didn't burn hot.

I ordered this on a whim, looking for a really mellow smoke. This delivered! Perfect description. Mellowest of my collection. Easy, all day smoke.

Excellent. Mild & cool with nice room scent. Been smoking it for years.

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!

Very good Very good by

Excellent! Been smoking it for several years now. Smooth, light with no bite. Highly recommended.

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

Very nice smoke! The honey and vanilla are so subtle yet I get just the right amount of flavor. I could smoke this all day on my drive to and fro, in the golf cart on my way to my next shot and in the evening while watching the sun set. So light and easy. This blend asks so little and offers so much. This one has a top spot in my rotation.

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.

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.

Mississippi River is a fine ton.

This is an ok pipe tobacco

Open the tin, and enjoy the smell. Very nice. Not harsh or strong. Lights well and stays lit. Light on the tongue and taste buds. Not overpowering. Very nice aroma. I enjoy this blend very much.

Excellent! Very mild and enjoyable. Nice room presence as well. Good smoke all day long. Highly recommended.

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

This was not a good selection for me. Virginia was of good quality but could not taste honey or vanilla - perhaps I got a bad tin. Other Seattle Pipe Club tin flavors have been very good.

Smooth from beginning to end. A very enjoyable smoke

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

I recently ordered four different blends of pipe tobacco from P&C. While all quality blends, for my pallet, Pioneer Square was the most satisfying. For myself, this blend, had the most satisfying blend of flavors with the least amount of bite and heat. This blend also burned fully and evenly, often after the initial lighting. Never been a fan of anything "Seattle" until now

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.

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 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.
