Aromatic Tobacco » Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake Tobacco Reviews

I Love Vanilla

I must begin by saying I am no expert where flakes are concerned. I have and do enjoy navy flakes and have learned to deal with them when it comes to tobacco preparation. Regular slice styled flakes have always been problematic for me. However; with a little experimentation, I achieved some satisfying success with this wonderful blend.

I tried Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake in a number of different pipes before I settled on one that, to me seemed to suit this blend very well. It is my TRG White Ringed Volcano, a very fine smallish pipe. I experimented with the fold and stuff, and rubbing it out before settling on the rubbed out preparation as my preference.

I love Vanilla and the Tin Note is very nice; a little spicy, sweet, and definitely vanilla. I have always loved a good vanilla blend. The tobacco is small sliced flakes and is dark brown in color interspersed with bright yellow streaks. Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake is quite a good looking tobacco. The moisture content is not overly high but does require some drying after rubbing it out. It burns well but as I mentioned I have always had some difficulties with flake tobaccos. So, I was not disappointed when a couple of relights were required.

The Room Note is very pleasant, as is the definite vanilla taste that is predominant throughout this most flavorful smoke. The Virginia becomes noticeable toward the half way mark, but not overly so. Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake is not overly complex to me. But, then that is one of the aspects that appeal to me. The creamy smoke is rich without being overpowering and has a great mouth feel.

I found Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake to be a relatively dry smoke that leaves a crusty white ash with dry dark dottle in the bottom of the bowl, and I experienced absolutely no gurgle.

I love this flavor of this tobacco. I have enjoyed it immensely, and highly recommend Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake to everyone, even those of us who have difficulty with flake tobaccos.

Best Vanilla Blend

This version is similar to the loose cut, but I found that being a flake and having been pressed the flavours seemed to be intensified a little more. Definately worth a pick up if you haven't tried flakes yet.

for a vanilla its ok
