Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake

Great choice is all I gotta say smokes smooth and has an amazing vanilla note !

I am enjoying the smooth, gentle yet rich aroma and flavor. One of my go to standards, now.

Absolutely delicious. Smelled wonderful. Tasted better. I will buy more.

This is my choice - Mac Baren vanilla tobacco. Great smell and my favorite flavor!!!

This is a superb addition to Mac Baren's collection of Roll Cake tobaccos. It smokes cool and mild, with just the right amount of sweetness, to my taste. Next time I'm buying a pound bag of it!

Exelent smoke. Best ive had. Will order more of this and will try others of there line up. Even the non smokers in the house love the smell. All day smoke. Best way to maximize the vanilla is a fold not rub.

I'm not much of an aromatic guy but I'm enjoying this roll cake. Just enough vanilla casing; not overpowering. Has some body and is smooth without bite. Burns without any soupy moisture.

Great aromatic tobacco.

muy bueno

A lovely smoke on its own, also mellows the flavor when mixed with a stronger tobacco.

This is an excellent Danish style aromatic, not to be confused with American aromatics. The vanilla note is there but it's very subtle and the sweetness you get is from the Virginias and not a syrupy topping. I've purchased some tins to store away for about 6 months to a year. Storing for any longer and I'm afraid you'd loose some of the vanilla notes.

Smells absolutely fantastic, flavor is nice and full!! I love the roll size but the vanilla is lacking.

Very gentle vanilla note, the virginias come through a good bit, very gentle, not overbearing vanilla

My tin is going to have to wait as it went to the celler. I was fortunate enough to taste a pipe full from a friend and I must say it is delicious. Not overly sweet, the room note smell is more sophisticated then the traditional aromatic vanilla, and it smokes silky smooth. The quality tobacco and layers of flavor we're discernible and came out beautifully. I'm a huge fan of the McBarren vanilla flake and this roll cake deliverys on all levels. My first pipe load was loaded as coins I will have to try it rubbed out a bit in the future.

This is an easy smoke with a great vanilla note. Great for every day. This does smoke a bit hot, so just go slow.

Very good

OK- is it just me or does the flavor change drastically just after a few days of aging? I find this to be true for MANY pipe tobaccos. The day this arrived, I was super excited to try it out and initially, I was disappointed. When opened, the tin note was an off sort of vanilla smell (like french vanilla? or a vanilla creme maybe) but was not exactly pleasant with a sweet tobacco undertone. I grabbed a few coins and noticed they were dry-ish on the outer part and more moist toward the center. I rubbed them out and let them sit for 10 minutes, then packed my bowl. I was unimpressed. 3 stars. Tasted of tobacco with an odd vanilla finish. Seems to pack the nic hit. Then 3 days later- I opened the tin and this wonderful vanilla scent hit me with a deep tobacco undertone. It smelled like a vanilla cupcake, just rich and delicious! So, I packed up a bowl the same method as the first and WOW! A wonderful and sweet vanilla flavor came through, married perfectly with a sweet rich tobacco flavor. Leaves after taste like toasted marshmallow, simply FANTASTIC. Mellow and smooth, smoke is light and smooth (no big billowing clouds from this) sweet with a great aftertaste. I will be purchasing again and much more next time! This is a MUST cellar!!

Smooth and lightly sweet. Vanilla is there but not overbearing. Takes a little more rubbing out and drying time than I expected. Its hard to keep lit if it isn't prepared properly. But when its smoking right, the flavor is good.
