There’s Something About Royal Yacht
November 17, 2019
Product: Peterson Royal Yacht 50g
This has been my go to blend since ever I opened up my first tin. The sweet smell of the “dressing” or topping initially entranced me to light up bowl after bowl. The complexity of Virginias and that sweet taste. It doesn’t disappoint! For me it doe... Read More

Elegant, Fermented, Sweet & Smoky
December 27, 2019
Product: Peterson Royal Yacht 50g
Imagine the difference in taste between a ripe plum and a plum stewed with a bit of sugar, vanilla and clove… that’s the difference you get here. Royal Yacht is a refined Virginia blend which I would describe as rich, sweet, mellow and a bit smoky. ... Read More
There’s a prune juice or port wine like note. Perhaps some stoved Virginia is in this, which might explain the smokiness and caramelized fermented fruit note, though I believe there's actually some Dark Fired in this, and THAT is what makes Royal Yacht so potent in the nicotine department. That DF smokiness has a oak, nuance. It’s moderately fermented fruit sweet with a slight tang. Its medium body, medium to full flavor, and the nicotine is above average for a supposedly straight Virginia blend. The Virginia’s used are of high quality, and the added flavor doesn’t sublimate the leaf but rather compliments it very well; adding a little more sweetness and fruitiness. If you’re seeking a straight Virginia that’s low in nicotine, is bready, hay like or with a fresh grassy character – look elsewhere. This one is for those that enjoy their Virginia’s fermented and with an ever so slight flavor-enhancing aromatic flair. Nicotine is 3.5 - 4 out of 5. Read Less

로얄요트는 구수한 달달함보다는
와인에서 떫은 맛뒤에 나타나는 과일스러운 달달함
이어서 플로럴한 향도 겹쳐 나타나주니 굉장히 색다른 맛이었습니다
생각보다 달게 느껴져서
같이 에스프레소를 먹는대도 불구하고
달게 느껴졌습니다

e. Though it has none of the citrus notes that come in the Best lemon V's or any of the Spicy Raisin flavors you get from a nice Red, it does have its own Merrits. So i guess it sits somewhere in between. The Mellow flavor of prunes and dates i'm starting to love and look forward to every morning. Although it is still on the muld side of flavor, as a breakfast bowl it works for me. For a more flavorful varient i move to the Dreams of kaddath or speak easy by C&D. All three have similar flavor profiles in greater degrees. Read Less
Puff With George V and Alfred Dunhill Aboard The Royal Yacht!
September 30, 2020
Product: Peterson Royal Yacht 50g
Summer 1919. The wooden, 110-ft yacht plows through the English Channel. You sit on deck with a a cluster of dukes, earls, and even King George V, a passionate smoker, puffing his gold-accented Barling Rhodesian. Sitting beside you is a slender, midd... Read More
le-aged man in a straw boater hat and white linen pants and shirt, puffing a beautiful billiard with a black stem punctuated by a single white dot.
You pack your bowl with the new blend the man in white has provided everyone. No one speaks of the entire generation decimated in recent years in the Great War, or the King’s own feats in its battles. You just puff the mild blend, which really comes to life in the bottom half of the bowl.
“Now you’re tasting it, good sir,” the man says, turning to me with a nod. “I’m Alfred Dunhill. This is my latest blend, AC429. Blended in my shop on Duke Street. And I’m trying to convert our Highness to my newest pipe, the Shell Briar.”
Well, all right. This isn’t quite how it happened, but in another reality it could have. Puff this blend and hell, you play the King!
This very old showcase of yellow and bronze Virginias was the second blend I ever tasted from Dunhill, packaged now as a redux from Peterson/STG. At first I deemed it mild and underwhelming for its reputation. But I noticed that in the lower half of the bowl, the tobacco comes alive and a coffee-like and creamy flavor is unleashed on the tongue. At times that taste starts earlier in the bowl, the better my packing job goes. With that flavor, I see how Peterson dubbed this “Dunhill’s most luxurious tobacco.” 4.5 stars. Read Less
非常甜美醇厚的温柔一刀,强烈推荐!

劲道3.4 饱满度3.80室韵3.2
大爱!点火时候就感受到了很明显的蜜糖甜味,前端的味道主线是蜜糖柑橘果干混合淡淡的烤面包香气,烟气非常饱满浓郁。中段开始烤面包味成为了主要的香气,辅以甜甜的柑橘味。这样的感受一直持续到尾段。口中余留的香甜味明显。这是一款劲道不低的V草,和原版登喜路相比,劲道有所减弱,但是任然不俗。整体的抽吸品质非常好,烟气斗温都很低,燃烧也很平顺。抽这款草一定要控制好抽吸频率以及做好房间通风,不然这烟气的香甜会给你温柔的一刀。V草爱好者我强烈推荐!

An Unique Virginia
January 10, 2020
Product: Peterson Royal Yacht 50g
I typically have issues with Virginia blends, preferring burley blends instead. The exception is Royal Yacht, but I truly suspect there’s a little burley in this Virginia blend. The casing is somewhat sweet and peculiar, hard to but my finger on.

Having smoked cigarettes for 20 years (haven't quit completely), it was difficult to find the balance between cigarettes and pipes until I smoked it. When you open the can, there is a sweet and fruity taste, and the shredded tobacco is very finely ch... Read More
opped, which is finer than 965. After filling a bucket, the sweetness comes out in the third mouthful, and the sweetness is very crisp and dry, not like the sticky sweetness brought out by the black Cavendish. The more you go back, the more mellow you get, and the smoke is very full. It may be that the grass is not awakened, and the changes are not very rich. The nicotine content is high, the combustion is good, and the pipe temperature is not too high. It is very suitable for smokers like me who switch back and forth between cigarettes and pipes. It is enjoyable and relaxing, and there is no need to switch smoking modes too deliberately. And the smoke from the beginning to the end is very dry, does not bite the tongue, excellent! Stock up a little more to see the aging effect. Read Less

烟气柔和 强度太低 李子味道 丁香 桂皮 一丝丝回甘
Product: Peterson Royal Yacht 50g
抽了20年卷烟(还没彻底戒掉),很难在卷烟和烟斗之间找到平衡,直到抽了它。开罐就是一股混合着果味的香甜,烟丝切得很细,比965细。直接装了一斗,第三口就出甜,而且甜得很干脆干爽,不太像黑卡文迪许硬带出来的粘腻的甜。越往后越醇,烟气很饱满。可能是没醒草,变化不是很丰富。尼古丁含量很高,燃烧很好,斗温也不高,非常适合我这种卷烟和烟斗来回切换的烟鬼,过瘾又放松,不需要太刻意地切换抽吸模式。而且从头到尾烟气都很干爽,不咬舌,优秀!再去囤一点,看看陈化效果。

or take away from the Virginia flavor. Stoved, fermented, quality blend. I did notice it generated a bit of moisture. I smoked this in a bent billiard meerschaum but will most likely use either a system pipe or dry system on future smokes with this. Not a distraction or problem, just a blend that generates some heat.
