I recently purchased this as I liked the idea of a vanilla, and man I was not disappointed. The smell in the can was wonderful. The texture and cut are perfect. An easy smoke that tastes and smells good. I mixed some 50/50 with Lane Very Cherry and BOOM I had a verrry tasty, smooth and easy smoking cherry vanilla. The wife loved the room not too!

I had not smoked any Mac Barren tobaccos for a very long time. I saw the Vaniila Cream and thought that sounds good. And it did not disappoint me. The flavor is great and the aroma is just as great if not better. Definitely 1 of my 2go to tobaccos.

Pleasant.
Apr 29, 2023
Incredible room note coupled with a creamy flavor profile? Absolutely. This isn't a very strongly-cased tobacco whatsoever, as some others may be, and thus the tendency for gurgling to occur isn't really there. I let it set out for 10 minutes even if it wasn't really needed, but it seems to have been perfect. It packs well, and relights were kind of average, I suppose. I also left my pipe alone longer than normal, but it restarted as I'd hoed it would.
This is a highly-rated tobacco for a reason. Aromatic lovers are sure to see this as a nice morning treat with some coffee.

Smokes well. The room note is extremely sweet. Almost like a sugar cookie of some sort. The tasting notes are quite interesting. Small vanilla breaks and sweet notes. I smoke this before bed and honestly it makes me sleepy. The ash turns a bright white after it’s been smoked and comes out of the pipe easily. Be careful though, this stuff bites if smoked too fast. Take it slow and look at the stars while smoking this stuff. I can’t reccomend it enough.

Aug 06, 2022
I'm a huge fan of MacBaren Vanilla Cream so I have been curious to try the other versions. I like this quite a lot, it smokes slow and should be smoked with slow sips. The vanilla is not as pronounced as the vanilla in MacBaren Vanilla Cream loose cut. The taste reminds me of MacBaren Scottish Mixture to some degree. I'm glad that I tried this. It will definitely be part of my tobacco rostation.

Unlikely Find in Thailand A Winner
Jun 09, 2022
I found this tobacco at Silom Mall at a store called SESSIONS in Bangkok Thailand 3 years ago. I wanted something that was pleasantly aromatic but not overbearing in taste and bite. I especially wanted a tobacco that gave me more mileage for fewer pipes. Although I am smoking a self made hybrid of 2 similar tobaccos now, MacBaren is still my "Ace" blend. I formerly smoked MacBaren Golden Extra on the recommendation of a faculty member in high school, thus the familiarity with the brand.

May 23, 2022
Mac Baren will keep you guessing with this blend. Some bowls have a smooth creamy vanilla taste, some bowls have a hint of cinnamon, & other times it is a combination of both. No matter which flavor my senses pick up on, it is always pleasant. I will definitely keep a tin of this in the celler.

I ordered the tin size of this. Now I am a new pipe smoker, so I may be missing something on this. The vanilla blend, well I barely tasted it. As for the room note, my wife said it was "ok", but I couldn't tell. Maybe because I was smoking it? It is smooth, no tongue bite. Just a couple of re-lights. I will probably blend this with another vanilla to see if that makes a difference.

If you are an aromatic smoker and love vanilla this is it! This blend is very smooth with no tongue bite. Just the right amount of topping; which for me must be pretty subtle. The tin note is exceptional and the room note is great. Moisture was perfect in my first can. Smoke clean all the way through to the bottom of the bowl.

The right blend for the right moment
Oct 23, 2021
There are times when you want a robust smoke, there are times when you want a challenging flavor profile, and then there are those times when you just want to relax with a pipe in your hand and leave the world behind.
Vanilla cream is simple and not challenging, and it is perfect for those times when you just need to smoke something easy. This is by far my favorite aromatic - not only because of its flavor and it's simplicity, but also because it really just gives me joy to smoke it.
There are a lot of blends out there that you could buy. Buy this one.

My favorite pipe tobacco
Oct 14, 2021
I first bought this in a tin, now I buy it in 1 lb bags and keep at least two pounds in stock. Do I need to say more? This has a real vanilla flavor, not some cheap fake vanilla and you can still taste quality tobacco underneath. Does not get goopy and does not bite if the slightest care is taken in puffing. Great tobacco. Wish I had not waited so long to try it.

Sep 30, 2021
I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for nearly 10 years. I switched to smoking a pipe about a year and a half ago. I started with a tin of vanilla cream and one of each of the Mac barren 7 seas. I found the vanilla to be a very easy smoke once I figured out how to properly work a pipe. I had trouble with tongue bite for a few weeks but after awhile I didn't seem to notice it. I inhale my smoke and I smoke about a pound of tobacco a month and while I have tried many other popular blends. I come back to this one every time. I have smoked approximately 18 pounds of this tobacco and I can honestly say I have never had a bad or unsatisfying smoke. The flavor is mild with sweet vanilla coming through occasionally. I will say it is more tobacco forward with a vanilla after thought. It's like a good woman. If you are man enough for her, she will be sweet and leave you satisfied.

Aug 22, 2021
I personally thought this tobacco was a bit lacking in flavor. The added vanilla was very pleasant but there was very little tobacco flavor very mild smoke. Doesn't require much if any drying before smoking. Smokes down into very little dottle with mostly white ash. No gurgling unlike some aromatics. Nice enough but not my favorite will probably keep some on hand for when I want to not have to think about any complicated flavors.

Great QUALITY tobacco with a nice scent
Jun 11, 2021
I think that some of the regular aromatic reviewers here are running into the problem of expecting to be smoking a candy bar, but this is top shelf tobacco. It is supposed to taste like tobacco with vanilla essence, and the room note is for the ladies and non smokers around you. It lets you smoke a great tobacco flake and taste tobacco rather than some gooped up burly ribbon cut.
The flakes are loose and come apart easily. In transferring to a jar, you might end up with a jar of broken flake, but honestly, that is ok.
This will bite or give you cat tongue if you smoke it or light it too rapidly, so be careful. It can burn hot if you let it.
My wife has commented more than once on how great it smells that that is a welcome change from the nasty comments I get when I smoke straight virginias, vapers, english, etc. On the day I wrote this review I smoked a few bowls and she was around me and didn't really complain at all that that speaks volumes to the quality of the scent.

Top shelf tobacco with a family friendly aroma
Jun 10, 2021
Great stuff. Was looking for quality tobacco (not some cheap ribbon cut burley) with an aromatic element that my wife would not hassle me about the smell. She has commented more than once how great this one smells. I don't plan on not smoking my non-aromatics, but it's nice to have this one in the stable to "please the natives".
Flakes can be flimsy when handled, but the quality is great. Nice dark color with light mottled bits. Great bulk pricing. A bit difficult to get intact into mason jars. This is also a great daily staple while my virginias and vapers age. Won't make you dizzy. No bite unless you push it to extremes, but you wouldn't want to do that because you'll ruin the taste. Take it slow.

It was a bit dry from the start so it does burn well. The room note was mild leaving a soft vanilla in the air. The aroma was soft and not as pleasant as I expected and the taste was about the same. This smoke seemed very mild compared to all I have read about it. I enjoy the Seven seas more.

I have never bought flake tobacco before because I don’t know how to use it. The reviews and flavour sounded great so I figured I’d go on the internet and figure it out. Not hard at all.

The best tobacco I’ve ever came into contact with!
Nov 22, 2020
Pipes and cigars has ceased to fail me. I purchased a pack of Stanley filters for a fairly cheap price with All the filters I need. I have no complaints whatsoever. Also the tobacco I have purchased and other products I have received has really satisfy all my tobacco needs. I ha d purchased a 1.75 ounce Tin of Mac Baren Vanilla Flake tobacco (flake cut obviously,)and I must say that I was hooked on the first puff of my pipe from this tobacco (in a good way though, no pun intended.) In all honesty and fairness, this product from pipes and cigars is an upmost excellent brand of tobacco.
I am personally a connoisseur of vanilla products and if you have a taste for vanilla as well, I highly recommend this brand of Mac Baren Vanilla Flake to anyone looking for a tobacco that is Grade A quality, A quick and a mildly sweet vanilla taste and smell while not overpowering the original taste and smell of the tobacco, and my favorite part, an amazingly pleasant buzz from the tobacco itself without the negative effects of nausea or nicotine sickness. All around, I rate this product and the company Pipes and Cigars a 5 star tobacco carrier. I know you will too!

This is my favorite light vanilla blend. Virginia base with VBC aromatic makes it a really nice, balanced smoke for any time.

Find in Unusual Place Produces A Winner
Jul 23, 2020
This tobacco was discovered last year in Bangkok, Thailand. I had been very frustrated by the local tobacco here in Minnesota that was similar when I tried to mix it with a slower burning tobacco. It still burned way too fast. MacBaren Vanilla Cream seems to have solved the problem and it is a pleasant mixture that allows me to enjoy 2 pipes a day, instead of the 3 or 4 that I was having with the local tobacco. It is very tasty and it has a nice note that is not too powerful.
My only issue is that I did not receive the foot-long pipe cleaners I had requested in my most recent order. I need those for a larger pipe which I would then be able to enjoy. Something else, what looked like a cheap plastic pipe stand from 3M came with the tobacco.

I will only smoke a handful of aromatics, those fairly rarely. The best of them is MacBaron Vanilla Cream. Great vanilla flavor, all the way down. No chemical taste. Tobacco flavor comes through, as well. Burns cool, and well, to the bottom of the bowl. I prefer the loose cut version of this, as opposed to the flake.

I'm branching out and I found this. Oh yeah! I will definitely check out more Mac Baren tobaccos. The tin note kinda threw me a curve but the bowl told the story. Those fruty notes came through swimming. This was the first time I had experienced this and I proceeded to smoke 4 more bowls afterwards. The vanilla cream top note made everything come together like a' la mode. The room note was a crowd pleased aswell. If you enjoy vanilla aromatics your gonna love this.

Vanilla Cream
Feb 04, 2020
Two flakes left from this tin of vanilla goodness. I was a little hesitant to try another bittey aromatic especially a Mac Baren blend, and glad i did. Just wish i had tried it alot sooner. Read and watched alot of reviews on this one before and after smoking it and came to my own conclusions " I Love It. " This particular tin needed minimal dry time before smoking, required few re lights and burned clean to the end. Tin and room notes are awesome and the smoke tastes of very good quality tobacco. Not real heavy on vanilla taste but it is definitely there. Sip this one slow and the taste is perfect. I have several other different vanilla blends in my rotation that i really enjoy but this one is my new favorite. Ordering up several more tins to jar up and enjoy !

This is one of my favorite tobaccos of all time. It has an excellent taste which stays through the entire bowl. The room note is very pleasant, my friends who are non-smokers love it. No tongue bite at all. Truly a relaxing, quality smoke.

Not the best
Feb 02, 2019
Not what I expected. I had read really good reviews of this online and it fell way short of my expectations, especially because of the price. Upon opening the tin, it has a really sweet inviting smell, but when smoking it, it had a harsh smokey flavor and not a whole lot of vanilla flavor at all.

A mild aromatic for non-aromatic smokers
Dec 14, 2018
I don’t really smoke aromatic tobaccos, but this is an exception. The vanilla casing is incredibly mild, and allows for a brilliant complexity. This tobacco was even a topic of discussion at last year’s CPCC Chicago show, where several of us agreed that it’s an excellent tobacco to play around with in your pipe. It ghosts in a really unique way, particularly if you smoke a Virginia or an English after. Really a lot of fun.

Vanilla as good as it gets
Dec 01, 2018
If you are into danish aromatics and vanilla is your thing this one is a must. Burns clean and room note is good. The vanilla taste do not overcome the tobacco used. Sweet but not cloying. One of my favorites, the flake form is more intense in terms of flavors and slower burn. Smoke it slow as it is high in virginia so it may nip. Al janabi

5 stars - but it TONGUE BITES
Nov 11, 2018
This is a serious Vanilla and a "luxury tobacco" that the family requests, every time. For the reader's insight, my standard rotation includes Sutliff Rum & Maple, MacBaren Virginia #1, MacBaren 7 Seas Regular, and any Latakias I happen to have handy - and I'm not picky (usually, I stick to David's Olde English, a local Tobacconist's premier blend). To put my taste into further perspective, I do prefer Syrian to Cyprian Latakia but I think Dunhill EMP tastes like fancy Marlboro.
So, to the Vanilla Cream, vs its rivals: I feel that Cao Bella Vanilla, Stanwell Vanilla, and your value Vanilla blends alike cannot stand up to this custardy MacBaren home run. This is the one that defines excellence in Vanilla aros. There is, however, one MAJOR, hairy-chested drawback: like many MacBaren Tobaccos, this bastard bites like bedbugs - nasty and often. Only MacBaren Plumcake is worse. You will burn your shit unless you SIP. That is not to say it has some nasty casing; the casing is elegant. It's just a good aro. And a good aromatic will burn you - especially if you are closer to novice than leather-tongued-lunker-lander.
Otherwise, this baccy is high-class all the way and the family loves it. Professional, too.

Bites like an Inbred Shih Tzu
Jul 31, 2018
I've been smoking latakia blends and Virginias for about a year (before that, I was smoking burleys almost exclusively). I also like cigars. I bought a tin of Mac Baren Vanilla Flake to smoke instead of my usual tobacco, so as to avoid olfactorally offending a friend who will be staying with me for a few weeks. This stuff has a decent flavor, a nice room note, and leaves my pipe smelling wonderful. However, it bites quite badly. I've smoked several bowls of this tobacco, dried out to various degrees, but with similar results. It's only bearable when dried out and mixed 50/50 with a light burley (which also happens to be quite a tasty mixture). I think I'll have to find something else, or just smoke what I want and put up with complaints from the girl.

Lacking Vanilla
Apr 24, 2018
Great tin note and pretty good moisture right out of the tin. But, I'm in the a bit ashy tasting and lacking in vanilla camp.
Trying to figure out why I got a 3.5 oz tin to try. Maybe Sutliff Vanilla Custard or Molto Dolce next.

Like a cigarette in my pipe
Feb 14, 2018
Not sure what is going on with this one. I couldn't even detect any vanilla flavors. The smoke was very harsh. It reminded me of a Marlbro Red. I'm going to cellar it, and see if that helps. Otherwise this is not a flavor I will get again. I really wonder if I just got an anomaly, because there are such high marks on this one.

Top 5 flakes, top 7 overall tobaccos for me
Jan 13, 2018
My go to vanilla, instead of trash tobacco being covered up with too much flavoring, the vanilla rides in the back seat letting the superb tobacco take lead, outta the tin fantastic, aged is phenomenal

this is a nice smoke.
Nov 04, 2017
this is a nice smoke. It's my first time smoking a flake cut tobacco, so packing the bowl took more attention than usual. It has a traditional pipe feel to it. With many Virginias, I feel like I'm smoking hay. So not with this, probably because it's pressed and the mix of the cavendish.

This is the one
Oct 09, 2017
This flake has to be my favorite aromatic. I've tri's.ed the 1lb. box but find the 1.75oz. tins are the better choice for me. I don't like the long flakes that come with the box. What a hassle to cut and jar. Taste and room note are excellent and smoked slowly, no bite at all. Not a gooper like some other aro. Wish they stocked the 3.5oz. tin though.

Vanilla stew!
Jul 14, 2017
Amazing, even though vanilla will probably never be an everyday smoke for me. Can’t imagine ever needing another vanilla. Might even stand in for all of my “baked goods”-type tobacco cravings if I ever decide to pare down the # of tobaccos I keep on hand. I love all the different size and texture bits, sticks and pieces; it’s like a vanilla stew. Perfect moisture upon arrival in tin.

Scant Vanilla flavor
Jun 18, 2017
This is a review from a novice smoker, who prefers aromatics. I feel that this tobacco did not have enough vanilla tones or flavor for my tastes. Smells great in the tin, but too tobacco-ee of a smoke. Needed some drying time before smoking as it was pretty moist.
5 out of 5
Definately a stellar smoke.
May 31, 2017
Much prefer the flake put-up as I feel the taste is a bit richer that way. Fold and stuff or rub out depending on my mood. This has become one of my "must-have" tobaccos to keep around.

Great taste, lightning hot
Sep 30, 2016
I had such high hopes for this tobacco when I bought it. Giving it 2 stars because the flavor is certainly there, vanilla with a light and sweet almost leathery finish. Unfortunately, after a couple small puffs, my tongue felt like I had just dragged it across hot asphalt. This stuff burns so hot that I just couldn't enjoy it and I smoke my pipes very cool and slow. I tried mixing it with some sweet black Cavendish to cool it down, but the bite was just too much.

Packed moist and smells amazing. That's were it ends. It tastes nice enough after a few puffs, then is starts to taste ashy and chemically.
It's no good. They have taken average tobacco and saturated it with vanilla flavoring to cover up inferior quality.
AVOID.

Dessert Flake
May 04, 2016
I'm wild about Virginia flakes and a bargain shopper so I'm very fond of Peter Stokkebye’s Twist, Navy, and Bullseye bulk offerings. Orlik’s Golden flake is also wonderful. I'm fairly new to pipes and there's a whole lot more to sample but in general aromatics don't interest me. Mac Baron’s Vanilla Cream flake is exceptional though, the topping is delicate, sweet, complimentary. It's nice to find an aromatic I truly enjoy.

Excellent room note, and very nicely packaged flake tobacco. This blend lacks flavor.....totally. No vanilla or any sweetness, and definately no tobacco taste. The flakes are very nice and consistant and smell great. Tends to get hot QUICK!

The more u smoke the more u love it!
Feb 26, 2016
I must admit when I first tried this I was not too fond of it. I aged it for 3 weeks and let it dry for half a day and it turned into one of the most wonderful blends I have ever tried ! Hint" Don't dry the whole tin out at once. Take out of the tin only what you will use over the next few days. Keep in mind I live in Florida where it is very humid so you may not need to dry it for 12 hours like I do. Don't worry it's worth the extra effort because this stuff will grow on you.

I don't get it. It's just flat and boring. I didn't expect to taste any vanilla, but I at least wanted to detect some on my nose. But nothing! Maybe I'll let it age because I really want to like this blend! I'm not a big aro guy anyway, but this one missed the mark for me.

Customer Testimonials
This tobacco smokes excellent. It starts off with a sweet vanilla flavor and transitions into more of the traditional Virginia flavors. Would recommend to others.
BH of Martinsville, VA
Very nice tin note, the vanilla is not over powering. It can smoke hot, so if your a fast smoker, this is not for you. The flavor while smoking is not strong, undetectable at times. I got the most flavor on the bottom 2/3 of the pipe, but even this was light. The room note is great. My wife commented on the warm vanilla flavor (and she is not a fan of most tobacco room notes). Once lit, burned great.....only had to relight at the very end. If you are looking for a strong vanilla flavor, this is NOT for you. Very mild, and very enjoyable. If you are a vanilla fan, I highly suggest you give this a try. This will be a definite re-order for me.
SB of Bellevue, NE
I really liked this Vanilla, it has a nice nose and room note, not over powering as to be too sweet, you can taste the Virginia's, and the Cavendish is quite nice and always present. This has a unique flavor and is different from many other Vanillas I've tried. It's not something I would smoke all day, but first pipe or last pipe of the day, it's perfect.
CG of Ironwood, MI
I enjoyed the taste however it has a tendency to burn hot, even to the point where it would burn your hand through the bowl. I recommend this to someone who smokes very slow or smokes a light enough pipe that you don't have the need to grasp the bowl to keep it up.
SV of lakehills, TX
An overall an excellent smoke. The lovely taste of Virginian is always present alongside the vanilla, which is what shows a quality aromatic. The subtle vanilla flavor holds throughout the entire bowl. Cheaper vanilla blends come on strongly, and peter out quickly. Not so here. Moisture content is low enough to require almost not drying time. A very good blend.
HS of Fayetteville, PA
smokes quite hot and I didn't get much vanilla flavor
SR of Mansfield, TX
I didn't like this flavor at first. However, after subsequent smokes it grew on me. It has a delightful vanilla flavor and smokes well.
