Greetings From Belfast

[Robin Hood]

Welcome from Arizona! Glad to see someone from NI as I have family connections in Fermanagh. My mother was a war bride. Have you checked out Miss Moran’s shop?

Hey! My mother’s side of the family are all from Fermanagh. Small world!
Yes I am a regular there, not yet for pipe tobacco though… will be making a trip once this tin of Yacht evaporates!

Hey from central North Carolina, U.S. That's a fine looking pooch in your avatar. Belfast is the home of my favorite Irish whisky. I too like Royal Yacht, such a nicely integrated aromatic blend, well balanced and tobacco-forward. I have an unopened tin of the version labeled Dunhill. Welcome aboard.

Thanks! Have you got any recommendations for tobacco similar (or different) to royal yacht? I’m a former cigarette smoker so appreciate higher nicotine contents

I will research it and message you, I haven't had Royal Yacht for years, might order a tin or two, you might like Balkans or an English like Squadron Leader but I will let you know, never stick to one tobacco or you will find that you will loose the flavour, always best to have a few different tobacco's.

Welcome from Michigan, USA.

I visited Belfast in 1995, and had equally good times in West Belfast, East Belfast, and the city center

Welcome

Can I throw a recommendation into the hat?

Old Dark Fired, ready rubbed for ease of use.

I'm a little biased but it's not a bad suggestion for this situation I feel.

that's a great moment when you find that blend that isn't just good but just hits you in the right way. I think for me it was University Flake. Helped me find more blends that really tickle my fancy.

 

[PipeIT]

Welcome, and if you stick around here long enough, you might get the fever too, and buy and smoke loads of different blends, there’s a whole world of amazing pipe tobacco to explore!

 

[OverMountain]

Welcome! Glad to hear you are enjoying the Royal Yacht, a timeless classic!

Yes that royal yacht hit the spot, gave me a borderline religious experience! Don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a finer tobacco experience, cigars included

Thanks, he’s a great goose deterrent!
Think I’ve hit the jackpot early with the royal yacht, which is nice as I can stock up and keep it as a staple… had some brown pigtail twist arrive today which will be interesting to try. Didn’t even realise RY was an aromatic! They have nailed the recipe at any rate as it doesn’t impinge upon the tobacco flavour (perhaps subtly augments it?)
im sure my pallet will mature with time and experience, for now it’s just delightful stumbling upon something I really enjoy

Yes, I have only scratched the surface but seems like a highly rewarding hobby; way more to it than I’d previously imagined

 

[Trainpipeman]

Haha I should have said it‘s like Marlboro Red without the formaldehyde; how those cigarettes would taste in your imagination if you’d never smoked before and saw the cowboy advertisements as a child
And thanks! It was the dog’s second birthday yesterday so he got a Burger King

Nice to see your dog got a birthday treat!

Hi, Gawith & Hoggarth's Red Mixture is close to Royal Yacht, if you go to Smoke-kings site in the UK they do 25 gram samples so you can explore some tobaccos, I used to smoke Royal Yacht when it was still a Dunhill tobacco. Enjoy your Pipe,
Ken.
