Blends are described on the back, which is helpful, but are not dated, which is unhelpful. There are two numbers that may be production codes. (The Davidoff tins I have aren’t dated or coded at all. Thanks for nothing!) So, the Royal Yacht I’m smoking right now, “A unique smoking experience created by the...yellow and bronze Virginia” has the codes “0690” and “1913081927”. I’d not had any of its previous iterations, but this one, properly dried, burned perfectly (one relight at the very end because I’m typing) with zero bite, no dottle, no gurgle; a very pleasant mid-afternoon straight Virginia blend! A pretty good nic buzz too!  |

Eeek!! I'd hide my debit card for the weekend, but I'm pretty sure every tobacco shop had mine on file somewhere.
I have never smoked Rolls or Royal Yacht because I was stuck in the English Realm before Dunhill closed shop. Need to change that asap.

Not quite to the moon, but low orbit? Yes. Later in the evening I mixed it 1:1 with Tashkent and that cut it back to 1-2. Amazing what a calming effect was achieved with just a minor Turkish incursion!  |

That's right up my ally then. Me and nicotine have a very strong relationship

This morning I wasn’t thrilled with the Peterson 965 in the Sasieni Ruff Root Light Canadian, but the Elizabethan Mixture is a really good VaPer! (GBD New Standard 9447) It reminds me of Solani 633, but the EM has a butterscotch note I don’t remember in the 633.

The reaction to Royal yacht is like that of marmite, imo. You love it or hate it.
And now I'm going to negate all that by saying I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Dunhill Rolls in stock today @sp . . .@$16.95 per tin. First reviews (1-2 stars) Google translated from Chinese: “This price can already buy the St. James brick ph stick, completely crushed Escudo and Solani 633, unless he got the D home old Haohai formula, otherwise I really sorry this price...Not to mention the taste, the pricing has already crushed D Haihai, want to know if Peterson got the Haohai formula or the navy slice recipe” 🤔 |

It's inevitable. I bought an 8 oz bag of And So to Bed before I even pulled out of my bosses driveway today.
Now I'm looking at Royal Yacht and Elizabethan and drooling a little.
I'm having a bad few days, tobacco makes it go away lol

Well Josh, my new motto is: ”Tobacco. There are a lot worse ways to spend my money!”

I agree. And there are worse ways that I have spent my money in the past. Buying tobacco makes me happy, looking at my tobacco makes me happy, smoking my tobacco stops the world and makes me happy.
It's not really money spent, it's an investment to my sanity.

Peterson Standard Mixture in the Bessai Special XXX Oom Paul this morning. Very relaxing. The only disappointing one so far has been the 965.
