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.

After the few reviews, mostly negatives, I was quite a bit scared to open this tin !
Then I did out of curiosity and the first impression was: hey, what the hell, this is not bad at all! Very promising tin aroma, some molasses/honey, but with light hand. Light in colour, this is prevalently Virginia with some Burley. The cut is a ribbon of the like of the Dunhills. Takes fire very well, burns very nice and never insanely hot nor bitey. The flavour is nothing of contemplative, just as good as a companion for every day. In fact the tin is over after four days, and I never felt bored. The sweet casing compliments the VaBur.
I would see this as my all day smoke, but can understand there is much better tobacco to smoke for everybody.

As much as I love non-aromatics in the daytime, VaPer's and VaBur's normally, I often enjoy a sweet aromatic after my dinner. I needed to open a fresh tin and I felt quite compelled to pop this one as it get's quite a mixed reaction on here.
The contents of an opened tin weren't exactly what I expected: it's brighter than most aromatics; it looks like any Cavendish in there is golden, not black. I like the aroma from the tin as the honey seems quite strong. It's too moist and tightly packed, I like to loosen it up a bit and let it have a short amount of airing to reduce the moisture that's gathered.
Yachtsman ignites with ease and then gives off a smoke that marries up to the tins note perfectly. The honey is, without doubt, the main flavour that I can taste; it doesn't seem too false though. The only problem I get with the added taste, is after about half an hour it develops an acridness which doesn't agree with me.
With the tobacco's, it tastes like a straight Va. If there is any Cavendish in there, it's confused with the honeys sweetness; I can only identify a Virginia grass note along with a very light nuttiness; maybe this has a touch of Burley as well?
I get quite a mild nicotine dose from this; nothing too silly, but it wouldn't qualify as being much more than mild, for me.
When I lit my first bowl of this, I could see this becoming my regular aromatic with a possible lunchtime position as it's not too gloopy; but, as I said, on my palate it develops an astringent quality after a while .
I think a fair rating is two stars.
Somewhat recommended.
