This is the Orlik version:
Yachtsman is a lovely and somehow unique semi-aromatic without cavendish. If someone here remembers the yellow Orlik Honeydew, I would argue that the honeydew melon flavour they used in that one is exactly the same here, but there's also a discreet layer of something which is very reminiscent of red liquorice - you know the strawberry kind of stuff - but very discreet.
Leaf is pure bright VA, with a little burley. Presentation the same as Astley's 55. I find this very light in flavouring and it has a peculiar dusty, nutty aroma when lit: probably burley. It's not very sweet, but not cigar-like either. Somewhere in between...
Pack it ever so light and smoke it slowly, very slowly or it will bite and turn acrid.
I you do manage to be patient, Yachtsman will reward you with a cool, pleasant and interesting smoke. It really needs attention.
Fair amount of nicotine. I love it and will sample more.

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.
