I've only tried Black and Royal: chocolatey the one, and vanillaey the other. They're pretty decent. I've yet to try the white or the gold.
I haven't smoked them in a long time, but here are reviews of them that I did when they first came out:
Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular Blend - Pipe Tobacco Review
Mac Baren 7 Seas Gold Blend - Pipe Tobacco Review
Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal Blend - Pipe Tobacco Review,
Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular Blend - Pipe Tobacco Review
Mac Baren 7 Seas Gold Blend - Pipe Tobacco Review
Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal Blend - Pipe Tobacco Review,
Is 7 Seas Regular Blend similar to Captain Black Original? Which one of the 7 Seas is sweeter?

They both taste like hot air. Honestly. I love Mac Baren as a brand but the 7 seas line is garbage!
The regular and the Royal seem to be the most popular.
But I like the black the best. Its a Cavendish made with Virginia and has an Amaretto, Chocolate, Vanilla flavour.
However I think "Macbarens Original Choice" beats them all
It also has black Cavendish made with Virginia.
Very complex dark flavour with simply the best aroma.
I get fruit, vanilla, caramel and licorice
Also the after taste stays with you and clings to you.
I find it smokes best in my 9mm charcoal filter pipes.
Its my most smoked aromatic blend followed by Lanes RLP-6.

The flavor profiles are supposed to be somewhat similar. The colors are the representations of each other (ie: Captain Black White - 7 Seas White etc.).
I much prefer Mac Baren 7 Seas over Captain Black. 7 Seas has a deeper, richer, more natural flavor to me than Captain Black.
In my early (aromatic) days I tried all the 7 Seas tins. Royal was by far my favorite.
Definitely let them dry out a good deal, they'll smoke much better. You won't lose much of the flavor at all.

I agree. Original Choice is a FAR superior product.
Why would you want something to mimic Captain Black?
To draw people away from Craptain Black! You convert them by offering something similar but much better: something completely different will be met with indiference or antagonism.
And I’m pretty sure Mac Baren 7 Seas is less messy and wet when finished.
