I’ve only had the “Dunhill” version of RY and it was rough-edged and unpleasant when fresh. After a few months in a mason jar it had settled down to smokability. Not something I’d cellar, but not horrible.

@Reggie : Have you seen the stuff I smoke? The word 'Refined' and my tastes in tobacco do not usually appear in the same sentence!
I have read enough of your posts to know that you do impart some wisdom and experience to the forum. I have learned so much on here just do to the geographical differences and the availability of various tobaccos around the world. Your posts have caught my eye several times. I will try almost any pipe tobacco and my cellar is very diverse. This leads me to feel that my palate is very unrefined.

My original thoughts on Royal Yacht are as follows:

'I hate Royal Yuck. I would rather have my ball sack staple gunned to the floor whilst being buggered without any lube by a North Korean communist gnome wearing a barbed wire wrapped condom than ever smoke that foul sh*t!'
Adding to Secret Santa notes!

Like many, I was initially repulsed by my first couple bowls of Royal Yacht. It was overly strong and harsh to me. I jarred up a tin and forgot about it for several years. On a whim one morning I pulled the jar out and loaded up a bowl and I enjoyed it much more. For a stint that initial tin turned into my daily morning wake up smoke. I ended up picking up a bunch of Dunhill RYs and have more than enough. It's not a favorite of mine, but I'm happy to have it in my cellar.
