>>1223146I don’t know that I’d call Royal Yacht earthy. To me that word describes cigars, and that’s not the flavor profile of RY.
It’s super strong and rich, but without any of the Latakia that makes Nightcap or 965 what they are-it’s a straight Virginia blend. It also has a bit of a fruit flavoring (I think it’s plum) that adds some extra richness to the flavor.
It may be a Virginia blend, but it’s a fine example of what Dunhill can do with a full-strength blend. It’s brawny without being harsh, rich without being cloying.
It’s my favorite tobacco
