Royal Yacht

[Chasing Embers]

I love Erinmore. I don't smoke a ton of it but it scratches a certain weird itch.

A favorite of mine.?

 

[Mr.Pink]

It does have a Good nic hit for a pure Virginia.No bite for me. One of the strongest straight va's you can buy. RY is in my daily rotation. RY has a strong plum topping. I would not recommend it for beginners, going to be hard to appreciate this blend. I cellar it. I don't like to give up my secrets, but Paddington is better and has a less pronounced topping than RY. I Love both.

I'm having a small bowl just now. Using a small cobb that is almost new.
This bowl is smooth and I like it. Just a little bit creamy but mostly quiet tobacco... good to me!
I'm not getting any of the topping this time nor the waxy taste so I will assume those go hand in hand.

A few relights but nothing out of the way like last time. If every bowl is like this one I will be a fan. I want to let it age but also want to keep trying it..hard to do with only one tin!

I have just received my first tin. I have not had time to try it and it may be a few days.
I consider myself a aero smoker but love some Lat on occasion. I like Maltese Falcon and Billy Budd to satisfy my cravings here.
I have read that the RY has a lot of Nicotine.

How does it compare to MF both nic wise and flavor profile?

TIA,

I have a little stockpile of RY. I think it has a plum topping, could be wrong. I enjoy it. Easy, cool smoke, burns very nicely to ash for me.

Had a great smoke of the RY today (Peterson)! Hit's the spot for me.

I have heard wonderful things about Royal Yacht and it's still on my list. I may add it to my next order.

So, which of you is deathmetal exhumed?

 

[mso489]

A perfectly pleasant blend, and not a nic killer. If you are sensitive, don't smoke it, or test it carefully in a partial or small bowl. I got all excited about its power, but found it had good flavor and smoked the tin before it ever got jarred.

I mean, occasionally. He's got a couple dozen reviews up there, at least.

........ more like a couple dozen per hour from what I've seen. There are very few tobacco reviews on tobacco reviews.com where you won't get that, "there are grassy notes, with hints of citrus and leather along with a hit of clipped rose pedals". To me it's hilarious.

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

While pretty nice tobacco, but dur to nicotine content and because of this 'peculiar' tasting topping I have gifted my last tin away recently

 

[Infantry23]

Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment but the polarization of this blend makes me want to go buy a tin and check it out

 

[garageboy]

Royal Yacht definitely tastes like virginia topped with british plum perfume

It is to a va/per what egg cream is to a milkshake (a cheap facsimile that's interesting in its own right)

 

[biodarwin]

I think it tastes fine(just opened my first tin), but not if you like pure Virginias. I like Royal Yacht like I like Tilbury. It's not what I am used to, it's kinda one-note, but that one-note is nice from time to time.

I'm revisiting now in my new Brigham 225 that I got for Christmas. I'm enjoying this bowl and am of mind that age could be a good thing for this blend.

Mine is pretty fresh and still kinda one flavor but I think that is a signature of RY?

I'm getting a nice spice/slight pepper on relights. I am enjoying this at the moment. Maybe I should buy a few tins and jar them and give them some extended time.
