The Most Overrated Tobaccos

[deathmetal]

I smoked the HIV virus once. It tasted exactly like a Lakeland.
In the meantime, I have been smoking crazy amounts of Prince Albert since reading this thread.

Carter hall & white knight. Sorry, my opinion but absolutely over hyped.

Just keep saying nice things about Royal Yacht...

 

[simong]

Their going to stop making it?

Royal Yuck attracts some odd ones. There was another RY fanatic on here who used Stalin as his avatar who would wax lyrical about the stuff. I think it was because he believed his hero smoked the wretched blend. For some odd reason I always thought 'Uncle Joe' was an Edgeworth smoker but looking it up on the old search engine I discovered that he used the tobacco from cigarettes in his pipe. Stalin obviously had no class whatsoever and that's probably to be expected from the leader of the urban proletariate.

Did anyone say Escudo? How 'bout LNF?

Overrated? Well lets see there is Clan in the UK. All the other ones I can think of have just faded away over the years. In 1985 if you even stopped at a BR tobacco kiosk at any mainline UK station they would carry thirty different brands of fags and about the same number of different tins of tobacco. I bet you could have had a rip roaring discussion back then about overrated blends.

Sounds like the guy must have showered right before. :laughat:

This thread and the one word review thread are very entertaining. I see some of my absolute favorites on both lists.

I believe we can all recognize that the idiot Communist -- I am from the Hans-Hermann Hoppe school of understanding Communism as it is -- and Royal Yacht are opposites in every way.
Besides, we all know the mundungus expert smoked Herzegovina Flor in his musty pipes, the product of capitalist pig-dogs where his own system could produce no equivalent.

I don't understand all this venom toward Royal Yacht. Sure it's got a topping that tastes like yak sweat boiled in pig wallow mud. But it has Dunhill printed on the label!

 

[Loomungus]

Mmmm, yak sweat with pig wallow. Gonna buy be some.

 

[condorlover1]

+1 Death Metal. I was trying to remember what the great 'Mundungas' put in his pipes that made them stink! :rofl:

 

[deathmetal]

...probably the blood of dissidents, to be honest.

 

[toobfreak]

Don't laugh. Do you know that oil of yak sweat and pig wallow are both currently $86 a dram? Damn expensive stuff! That is why in recent years, Dunhill has slowly been slipping in more and more extract of musk ox, a much cheaper substitute but with a similar stench of dead gopher.
