My review:
Summary: strong dark Virginias with a fruity topping, this tobacco is the perfect all-day smoke.
"Royal Yacht" gets a bad rap because of its semi-aromatic fruity topping. Like the one in "University Flake" or even "Erinmore Flake," this fades quickly to the background. The main show is the strong Virginia with less sweetness than one might expect, but instead a rich grain taste like the best oatmeal Grandma ever made. It delivers a consistent flavor and strength which makes "Royal Yacht" an excellent tobacco for hard work or even sailing while wearing an ascot. This blend belongs to legend and a very present enjoyment. One of the best.
