| Frankly, this is awful: hot and tasteless; what flavour there is is artificial and sick-making. The difference between smoking this and not smoking at all is that not smoking at all doesn't annoy you so much. If this blend has recently been upgraded, God knows what it was like before. I can't think of a single redeeming feature that one might mention in mitigation of this frightful stuff. Very definitely not recommended.

| I tried this once, and once was enough. This is tobacco is truly awful. It's suposed to taste like honey but comes across like a horrid artificial concoction made by plastic bees. I've been eating honey since I was a small boy and I've never ever come across bad honey until now. I've tried many different tobaccos and this is the only one that I can say I actually hate. The wife said it smelled like burning tyres and banned me from smoking it in the house. Avoid.

| Interesting, somewhat sour/sweet, tin note.
Very light flavour.
Not much nicotine.
Burned OK, Smelled OK.
Not a lot more to say about it. Left my throat feeling a little rough. Odd, for such a mild tobacco...

| Sigh! I bought a tin of this a year or so ago, because I recalled smoking it some years before and really enjoying it. What a disappointment; it manages to combine blandness with fearsome tongue-burn. I had to add about half a ton of pure Latakia just to give it some flavour and slow it's burn down.
Maybe it's just rose-tinted spectacles, but I really do remember liking this one in the past. Has the blend changed?
Avoid it, and try a decent aromatic. Or anything at all!

| I dont know what to think about this one, i purchased a tin online expecting a blend produced by Murray......then upon arrival i relize its another failed attempt by orlick to copy old blends. Upon opening the tin, the aroma was that of wet leather and possibly some slight sweetness(maybe honey)the blend is comprised of rough cut bright virginias and thats it, i couldnt see any cavendish cuts at all. It took alot to light it and keep it lit. Now i enjoy good quaility virginia blends, but this wasnt one of them, the flavour wasnt sweet at all, more dull and bitter. The smoke was very strong and almost overpowering, the nicotine will whip you into shape as well. I never had the pleasure of trying the original, but im sure it was better than its copy-cat.Try it to say you tried it, you may have a taste for it but i dont.

| Too bad Yachtsman is no more. I had one tin in my cellar and just recently decided to pop the top. I'm glad I did. Yachtsman is a little stouter in the nicotine department that most aromatics, and delivers some true tobacco flavor to boot. As was the case with most Murray's offerings, the leaf was top shelf and the topping was, too.
If you happen upon a tin, smoke it in the afternoons when you crave a little sweetness with your smoke. It is just a little to ripe for breakfast smoking and probably won't raise your nostril hairs in the evenings.

| i am not a great fan of aromatics but i do like to keep a couple in fo a change i have just opened a tin & i really have enjoyed it a nice change from full flavours i think this will be my morning smoke as i am gradualy easing off ciggerates and finding a pipe more satisfying i think i have found the alternative to a ciggy for the early smoke & dog walk

| This is a wonderfully cool tobacco that though mild in all respects can still be surprisingly satisfying. As I find with most aromatics there is a slight medicinal smell in the tin. It packs well and lights with ease and maintains a good burn throughout.
The smoke is well balanced with a light sweetness that is in keeping. Very smooth and a good choose for earlier in the day. This tobacco also works well if a little cigar leaf is added for later in the day smokes.
