About This Pipe Tobacco
When Dunhill announced it would no longer be producing tobacco, pipe smokers rued the loss of some of their favorite mixtures. Thanks to Peterson, however, those beloved blends are still available. They're the same recipes and feature the same tin art as Dunhill's, just re-branded for Peterson.
Dunhill's most luxurious pipe tobacco, Royal Yacht is here offered from Peterson. Virginias are carefully conditioned to ensure sweetness before being enhanced by a secret, subtle flavoring. It highlights the Virginias' natural sweetness while making for a delectable flavor profile all its own — one that's enticed pipe smokers for decades.

Nice kick

mate to the new climate. This is especially true of cigars but most certainly true of pipe tobacco as well. After breathing for about a month, this stuff is absolutely fantastic. Nice and stout, with a rich and yet, surprisingly light mouth feel. The smoke is almost delicate in weight. Yet, packs a delightful punch in the strength and nicotine department. Nice ribbon cut too. Packs like a champ and burns like a dream. 10/10 in combustion. It really does burn down to light, feathery, white ash. My overall impression of this is one of lightness except in the strength. Packs a nice wallup and pairs marvelously with a spirit of your choice. I’m rather keen to take some of this down to the pub and see if it doesn’t get me kicked out...Read More

What a great Virginia!

Even though I am a big fan of English blends, I still have to have at least one bowl a day with this Virginia. The sweetness comes after a few ”sips” and enhances the pleasure. It also packs a nice little punch on the strength that I appreciate.

A plummy tin note

wallop in the nicotine department, but I haven't experienced this in the slightest. Maybe im more tolerant that others. I've done big bowls and have felt nothing, but enjoy at your own risk....Read More

Good Cellar Blend

egular rotation. Royal Yacht is similar in strength but offers me a different slightly sweeter experience. Definitely eager to put a few tins away and see what a couple years of aging will do....Read More

One of the best

It’s the only straight Virginia that fully satisfies me in a combination of strength and flavour (though I'd still like it to be just a bit stronger). Most of other Virginias I tried lack one or even both of these features. I suspect there’s a special leaf, treatment, or even a hint of Burley or Rustica involved. Whatever it is, it adds a sharp, slightly rough edge without compromising the Virginia character, unlike many VaBur/dark fired mixes. With my high tolerance, most Virginias feel too mild, but this one hits the perfect balance—firm in strength without being overwhelming—and it still smokes smoothly. Those with lower tolerance can simply use smaller bowls and a slow cadence for a moderate, enjoyable nicotine hit.
The flavor is another aspect that sets this blend apart. The pairing of quality leaf and casing creates a complex, richly layered profile: sweet and slightly sour, hay-like and fruity, with touches of citrus, nuts, wood, earth, leather, and noticeable cocoa. Everything works together harmoniously. I’m not claiming it tastes *better* than the top-tier Virginias—though it’s certainly not worse—but it is distinctly unique and far superior to average Virginias. Among Virginias, it stands out for me the way Escudo stands out among VaPers. It’s also not hard to access its full flavor, regardless of pipe or cadence.
This blend holds a solid place in my top 10 tobaccos—I love all 10 of them equally, and whichever I choose becomes number one at that moment. It’s also among my top 5 Virginias. Over the past 3–4 years, I’ve tried more than 200 blends, including over 50 Virginias, straight and mixed, and this one remains exceptional.
