royal yacht?

[cp478]

i really enjoy dunhills royal yacht and was wondering if someone could recommend something similar that is easier to find?

[fiddlegrin]

Howdy CP,

If you send me some Royal Yacht, I will be better able to answer your question!



I killin myself here! lol!

OK, think of this not as an annoying reply.... but as a nudge.

[cp478]

i would but that is the problem i have exhausted my supply.

i bought up all the dunhill that was left in my area.

sadly i enjoyed it too much!

I've never found anything quite like Royal Yacht. It's one of the most unique blends I've ever smoked. Sorry about that. Hopefully, some U.S distributor will pick up the Dunhill line again.

Royal Yacht is my favorite blend and i have not found anything close. Its not for everyone its as they say a love or hate thing.

Find a smooth Virginia that has black current for the added flavor and your in the ball park. Black Current is plentiful in the UK. not so much in the states. Actually of all the Dunhill tobaccos this one will be the hardest to find a replacement because it is so unique. it is still available in Germany. Orlik still makes it.

I have a question about my tins of Royal Yacht for you guys. The Tins are painted cans that say made in the UK blah blah blah just exactly like an older Murray's Tin would look. Yet on the bottom is the big white sticker that says made in the EU. So is this stuff left over Murrays since it is in the old can or did Orlik slab their tobacco in a Murray's can? enquiring minds want to Know.

If you can put up a picture of the bottom of one of the tins, I can tell you for sure. If not, type within " " the exact wording on the sticker and provide the shape and the dimensions of the sticker.

Good question. My tins all say made in the UK .. these tins have to be least 5 yrs old, yet they have a "Distributed by Lane" sticker on the bottom. The sticker looks a lot newer than the tins and the seal. Any idea why? By the way, what year did Murry change to Orlik?

Orlic started producing the Dunhill Tobaccos late in 2004, however, they didn't reach the USA until the first half of 2005. Some of the earlier tins can be close to five years old.

I have hear of people placing Lane labels on Orlic Tins and passing them off as Murray Tins, in fact I've actually seen one that was tampered with. Usually, the Orlic Tins will have a larger round white label and the Murray Tins will have a smaller white rectangular label.

Also the bottom of the tin is a different shape and has a rounded edge instead of the flat edge and the older tins have a painted lid instead of the sticker on the lid. Some of the orlik tins have the painted lid and say made in the UK but the bottom as JohnnyFlake stated has the large round sticker on the bottom that says made in the EU on the bottom of the sticker.

My local shop has a bunch of the very same tins you have mentioned. And some that have a sticker on the front of the tin. Here is a pic of the front of the tins. They will ship if you call.

What's the name and number of the shop?

[WWhermit]

Word on the street is that they found a new distributor for the US. Don't ask me any details, just what I heard.

When and where, no clue. There may be hope yet for you Dunhill tobacco lovers, though.
