Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular

My go-to tobacco. This and English

Im flabbergasted at how close this was to TK6. I get cherry on the end of this just like TK6. I was expecting a more straight vanilla or cocoa finish. The description does state "fruitiness". I thought I'd ghosted my pipes cause I smoke a lot of the aforementioned lane product, but nope, is what it is. Its a good smoke that also resembles black ambrosia and even black cordial. I honestly rechecked the code and made sure it was regular. I like it a lot, but was expecting something else. Especially based off of reviews. I think only one other mentioned cherry specifically. Either we're suffering brain problems, or were both shipped the same product, unique from everyone else.

Smokes very cool. It's like a lite Captain Black but more of a neutral smoke. Could smoke it all day.

All are just fine.

I was expecting more of a tobacco taste.

Very good tobacco!

Excellent flavor and aroma. A little more bite than I’m used to from my preferred aromatic blends but well balanced.

Has a full body taste of a bold calvendish. It's smooth flavor does not overwhelm and keeps one coming back for more.

Good tobacco Can very hard to pry open

This is one of my favorites. The room note is absolutely amazing, and I get alternating hints of chocolate and vanilla.

My everyday tobacco

I enjoyed this blend. I will purchase again.

I bought the 16 oz bag of 7 Seas Mac Baren pipe tobacco. The best price of many competitors.

Nice blend of aromatic and smoke ability. Burns really well and is smooth. Shipping was very quick and an excellent transaction

My favorite tobacco; smooth, aromatic, almost no bite.

Very nice subtle smoke, a good everyday tobacco in my opinion. Great blend right, moisture is spot on to smoke right out the tin or in bulk

A very good aromatic if you like CB series, then you will like the 7Seas. This is not a complicated blend. A pleasant all-day tobacco.

As soon as you open the can, the room is filled with a beautiful smell. It reminds me of someone baking brownies. It’s a sweet smell that never gets old. Smoking it is just a wonderful. Very smooth, no tongue bite, you almost don’t realize you’re actually smoking, it’s that smooth.

Good smoke, mild no bite & a Great price

If you are looking for an all day sweet, mild tasting no bite, easy to light, tobacco that has an equally pleasant room note, no fuss, burns clean,no goop, and is of highest quality, then look no further! Mild chocolate/ vanilla flavor is consistent through the bowl. Very highly recommend it!😃

Mild slightly sweet , great smell and all day smoke

Love the 7 Seas blends

New to pipes but really enjoyed this is a very great room note smell great and I like the flavor I will buy again....

On the first smoke fresh out of the tin I was not a fan. This had a harsh almost cigar like flavor. However after opening the tin I let it sit for a couple of weeks. In that time the flavors developed and this has become a a very enjoyable smoke. Smooth and mellow are the words that come to mind.

Love the flavor of this tobacco!!

Nice mild smoke, great for everyday!

Very smooth, probably my new favorite

Flavors were a bit too rich for my delicate palate. Very powerful room note, but not my favorite note.

Good, all around tobacco.

7 Seas regular is my daily smoke. There’s no bite, the room note is pleasant. I was recently at a clay shoot and several people told me the really enjoyed the aroma of the tobacco. I do on occasion try other tobaccos. My most recent was MM Great Dane. My particularly like the aroma of it and I’d recommend it to anyone. But the 7 seas Regular is still my favorite. I highly recommend it

Great, smooth and easy smoke. Started with a tin and ordered a pound. Became a regular rotatation aromatic in no time for me. My favorite of the 7 seas blends.

I had smoked this about 8 years ago, decided to give it another try. My impression hasn't changed. Kind of dry off the bag (not the tin), needed a humidifying disk. Nice flavor, mostly vanilla. Healthy dose of black Cavendish, always a plus. Mild-medium strength, not very mild that is. It may bite if you smoke fast. Overall 3.5 stars.

It's a smooth taste with mild bite. Smells delicious, it's a very polite smoke. Definitely smells like a vanilla

Smooth and flavorful

Cool and enjoyable.

After finally getting it it is truly amazing. Im ahuge fan of captain black except the fruit flavored ones. I saw these and was itching to try them and none of them disappointed. I can smoke up the captain blacks all day long and sit down late at night before bed and smoke this in my fancy pipes as a night cap

Smooth smoking and great notes

This is my 1st ever tobacco review, but this special blend definitely warrants my attempt. I’ve spent some time with this blend lately and I am very impressed with it for what it is. It has behaved quite well morning, noon, & night. It is mild enough to be smoked on an empty stomach yet satisfying enough for after supper relaxation. It smokes really nicely in various different bowl shapes and sizes, and I’ve been left with light gray ash at the end with virtually no dottle. I’ve been hesitant to try aromatic blends basically based on goopy experiences from several brick and mortar “counter blends”. I was intrigued by the thought of Mac Baren’s take on American aromatics. The tin note of the 7 seas regular is definitely that of dark chocolate with a mild vanilla and coffee in the background. These aromas carry over in to the taste throughout the bowl. While smoking it I get the taste of a slightly sweet mocha. I rather enjoy mochas so perhaps that’s why my impression is so positive. Unlike the aromatic blends I’ve tried previously this blend does not offer much tongue bite, even with moderate puffing. The after taste is pleasant and not too strong. This has become my everyday smoke. Give 7 Seas Regular a try. It’s affordable and available in bulk. I don’t think you be disappointed.

Excellent tobacco

All around good blend. Has a great taste but a bit more bite than I personally prefer. Smells good but not a noteworthy as other cavendish tobacco blends I've had.

Bought it in a sampler and immediately enjoyed it over and over again and forgot to reorder and nothing I had on hand seemed as satisfying.

Lovely tobacco! All around solid pipe smoker choice, in my humble opinion. Balanced smell, mellowness, and easy smoking. Nice relaxing smoke at the end of the day and evening.

WHAT CAN I SAY ? IT'S BEEN MY EVERYDAY BLEND FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS, NEVER DISAPPOINTS.

I'm not going to get into the science of what in it, how it's made. I fill my pipe(s), fire it up and "puff" away! My pipes burn 1-Q, Trout Stream on a regular basis. But, that being said, each order I send in ALWAYS contains one, "off the way tobacco". I thought I try a few aromatics to see how they smoke, if my spouse likes the room aroma. Trying to be a "Computer Whiz", instead of "Analog Man", I went on line and typed in the best aromatics blends. This was one that popped up. I took 3 pipes (one for each brand I ordered), cleaned out the char, cleaned the stems REALLY good to really give it a go. Loaded my pipe and was present;y surprised at the flavor. I still can't put my finger on what it is, but, it's not bad. My wife didn't hold her noise at the aroma of it, so that gives it a "thumbs up". I tried to smoke it straight for 3 days, but the 3rd day I grew tired of it. Not to say you would, but maybe after 3 years of pipe smoking my taste buds are trained?? So, I'll smoke 7 Seas when I want a change, most likely order a new tin when I empty this, (the tin is much bigger than a few other I've ordered by the way)! Try it you'll like it as a alternative! Joe Remember always take my views with a can of beer er 2!

I’m a Captain Black regular fan, but the black cavendish in Mac Baren has a taste all its own and I believe it to be my new favorite.

Started smoking a pipe again after a 40 year hiatus. This was the first tobacco I purchased. I was very impressed by its smoothness, the room note and the sheer taste of it. When I quit smoking I quit the pipe because of tongue bite and the fact that while the tobacco smelled good in the pouch, the flavor and smell of it while smoking was nothing like that. I was always disappointed. Seven seas is not like that. I have had no tongue bite and the room note matches the pouch smell. I’m not particularly good at picking out all the different tastes in the tobacco but I do know it is a pleasant experience. I have since tried Captain Black and enjoy that one too but I think 7 Seas is my favorite.

I recently took up smoking the pipe and read reviews before purchasing. Mac Baren 7 Seas was reviewed as the best pipe tobacco and it did not disappoint. I will definitely purchase this product again and probably will never buy anything else.

I don't particularly care for aromatics. In general I feel they are more for the enjoyment of those around you as you smoke. This particular blend surprised me. I experienced no bite, didn't notice a chemical after taste and the scent was rather enjoyable. I wish I could describe the scent, kinda vanilla and hazelnut I guess. Definitely smells like some sort of flavored coffee creamer but I can't pin it down.

Awesome

I get who would love this but its not me. Smells lovely.

For some reason Drew Estates stopped producing, what I believed to be a great pipe tobacco, which was Toasted Black Cavendish. This seemed to be the closest substitute that I have found so far. Upon the advice of other reviews I decided to go with the regular blend. I do believe this blend may benefit from a little more virginia. But since I'm not the one doing it. I guess I just have to keep trying around. This definitely can give Lane Limited 1-Q a run for it's money.

I'm not into aromatics that much,but this blend has great aroma and good taste,without being overpowering.

I tried this for the first time about a year and a half ago since then Ive gone through over 5lbs of it and is my go to. One of those tobaccos you can smoke back to back bowls of and it never gets old.To me it has a creamy chocolate,fruit and nut flavor that only deepens the further you get down.One of the secrets is the cavendish is top notch made from virginias not burley which gives it such a deep flavor.Guaranteed if you try, this will be in at least your top five.Dont pass this up.

Did not disappoint

This stuff is so good. The smell wafting out when you first open the tin... Heavenly. The taste and smoothness of the tobacco is unparalleled. The only thing that makes me sad is the giant warning that's on the beautiful lid about tobacco being an addictive substance. The previous lids that weren't required to have the warning, I had to save because they are lovely artwork.

Very well balanced all day smoke chocolate, fruit and nuts very creamy my absolute favorite cant get enough of it

Naming this 7 Seas blend “regular “ is selling it short. Very nice flavor and aroma. A good choice to keep in the pouch.

GOOD !

Great classic aro...

This was the first tin I ever bought. It is now my go-to tin.

This is fantastic and has become one of my favorites.

it may take a few times to get lit but once you do it stays lit and burns slowly delivering long lasting enjoyment

I'll save you my lame attempts at trying to describe the flavor. This is a well balanced, absolutely amazing all day aromatic smoke. I ordered this at the same time I ordered Q1. While Q1 is nice, I've been leaning heavily on 7 seas regular day to day. Just ordered another half pound... if its still tickling my fancy after that, I'll go for a pound.

Very enjoyable.

In my top 10 picks for aromatics. Nice taste, room aroma very good ang good tobacco taste.

I have several brands/varieties of tobaccos in my rotation, and most of them are quite good. But this one takes the cake. It has a great aroma out of the tin, isn't too dry or too moist, packs well, lights well, burns well, and (most importantly) tastes fabulous and has a nice room note. This is the tobacco I keep coming back to again and again. I've tried a few of the other 7 Seas flavors (Gold and Royal) and they were just OK. But the Original white tin rocks! Highly recommended.

Very nice not as good as the Royal but very good

Very enjoyable, mild and is a real pleasure to smoke....

This is a nice easy comfortable smoke. It is not the most challenging or sophisticated (neither am I). I enjoy trying some bolder smokes but I really enjoy finishing off with Mac B 7 'cause it just good. It is easy to light and keep going, has a mild and pleasant taste and smell and doesn't leave my mouth burnt and nasty tasting.

Obviously a quality tobacco. In bulk its not as wet as a a McBaren tinned offering, so it smoked well with only a bit of drying time. However its not quite an aromatic but not truly a non-aromatic. I can't discern exactly what the top note is but its there. Not an unpleasant smoke, though! YMMV!

One of my new favorites for sure. Super smooth.

My first good tobacco was Captain Black original. I played around with others but kept going back. I still looked for the dessert smoke that has a pleasant aroma and wasn’t too harsh on the tongue but Captain Black was my time tested everyday smoke. Then I read a review that said 7 Seas regular was not just another Captain Black wannabe but was better in all categories. Could this be true? I bought a large tin and was amazed. I took out my favorite briar that I’d cleaned about a week prior and fired up a bowl. After the second light it burned completely. Take into consideration that I’m a steady puffer. The flavor was excellent, no bite and burned cool. One of my friends commented “that smells good”. 7 Seas regular is now now my go to tobacco. I still keep some Captain Black Copper around just for a change. Now if I could only find a cherry flavor to impress me like 7 Seas Regular. But alas, I think I’m expecting too much.

Ancient curmudgeon that I am, it may just be faulty memory. Or prap's worn out senses are to blame, but my recollection of this Mac Baren blend, had me anticipating a more robust flavour.

4.25/5 When I first began smoking a pipe, this blend really caught my attention. It smoked cool down to a fine ash and was well-balanced, fruit forward, light and approachable. It still is, but my taste has emigrated from Aromatica to Old England. Even so, my memory still holds this blend dear as a fine example of a well-crafted aromatic.

Excellent! Exceptional mellow smoke. Burns well and has a great room aroma.

I purchased this from a recommendation I saw on P&C's website. Mild, vanilla flavored tobacco that is reminiscent of Captain Black. I happen to like this more than the CB. It is a little moist from the bulk bag, but it does light well and burns well, but requires a few relights. Drying would improve the relights. There is no bite even with vigorous puffing. Room note is acceptable. Could be an all day tobacco.

Great service and great product. Placing order again soon

Taste really good, real easy to smoke throughout the day. It also leaves a nice note in room that disappears much quicker then others I've noticed. That can be good or bad depending on how you view it but I highly recommend this 'bacco

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 love these 7seas blends they are very tasty will be purchasing more

Had to let it set in a box to get the moister out. Not a big deal but time consuming, I guess you don't want some old dry stuff from the store. Burns with a delightful aroma, and nothing but clean white ash at the end. My daughter even likes it, and that's saying something. close to CB regular but not quite.

I'm new to pipe smoking, but I have to say, this is my go to this far. Love the flavor!!!!

Good change of pace from 1Q. I consider them cousins. Good value also.

Awesome tobacco. It has, what was to me, a nice chocolate/cocoa aroma out of the tin. It packs well, burns well, and has a nice, smooth flavor when smoked. I dig it, and will definitely purchase again. It also makes me want to try some of the other 7 Seas blends.

One of my favorites so far. Not too sweet and not too smoky.

where to start.... this is my all time fav hands down... so many different flavors chocolate vanilla nougat hints of caramel it changes threw out the bowl the whole time does get a little warm when puffed hard but my fav for sure

I'm about 4 months in to smoking pipes regularly but I have covered much ground in a short amount of time. I come from an extensive background in premium cigars but was looking for some variety and as of late have been trying mostly aromatics but a few English blends here and there also. I recommend 7 Seas Regular to any beginner pipe smoker and also to anyone who enjoys an aromatic. I have tried about a dozen different pipe tobacco blends (all well known blends or highly rated) and this is sticking out as one of my favorites so far. The taste is hard to describe but there is a definite soft sweetness to it and is overall pleasant. I tend to sway towards blends that have more flavor and although this one is still on the light side in my opinion it is a good bit more flavorful than many other aromatics I have tried. I ordered several ounces of it in bulk and I'm glad I did. It arrived with relatively perfect moisture levels, is easy to pack, burns great and is a pleasantly light smoke for any time of day. Next time I order I will try out the handsome looking tin it comes in.

It is pretty obvious that this is a blend meant to compete with Captain Black Regular. And I think it certainly does a good job of it. Packs well, stays lit, and isn't overly wet. It is a mild smoke in both flavor and room note. You do get creamy vanilla and hints of cocoa and caramel from it. If you tend to smoke fast, there can be a bit of tongue bite in my experience, so smoke it slow.

I was given a tin of 7 Seas regular as a gift a few weeks ago, and I have had a hard time smoking anything else since. Smooth but flavorful. Packs and smokes like a dream. Room note is good enough I am not just allowed to smoke this inside, but in the living room with the wife present. That's never happened before. I normally smoke a pretty wide variety of aromatics, and this one seems to be in a different class as far as quality goes. Bite free as well. Highly recommended to any aromatic smoker. (Review is for the tinned version. Haven't tried the bulk.)

Great came fast and was great and easy to deal with the web site

You sent me a pouch of Daughters & Ryan Windsail Platinum. And that was old, dry and stale.

Smooth smoking tobacco

Discovered this tobacco online in the forums, highly recommended and I found that to be true. Tried it myself and loved it. Now it is one of my favorites and my world is larger because of it. I would recommend it to any pipe smoker.

I enjoyed the MacBaren 7 Seas blend, finding it yielding a nice taste, nice room note, mild. I found it easy to maintain a steady, pleasant puffing pace. I would certainly recommend it.

my stepson and I have really enjoyed this one.

Its everything I read it would be- Smooth, wonderful aroma, no burn or bite as long as you don't smoke it like a chimney. I will be buying this in bulk from now on...
