Product: Borkum Riff Black Cavendish 1.5oz
Package note of sugar, tart fruit, and mildly sour. Tobacco ribbons are black, brown, and tan. Tobacco is a little moist, drying out may be warranted. Burns fast with few relights. The strength is mild and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild, with notes of Plum. Taste is mild to medium and consistent, with notes of wood, brown sugar, earth, mildly spicy, toast, a mild sweet lemon grass background note, and a moderately peppery retro. Cavendish is leading with Virginias supporting. Flavoring is supporting from a little further back. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good....Read More

Product: Borkum Riff Black Cavendish 1.5oz
I recently tried this one. I've enjoyed the other Borkum blends and manage to get a satisfying smoke from them each time. Borkum just seems to suit my palette and smoking style. This blend appears to have been changed from what I can tell. My pouch label simply says BLACK CAVENDISH in block letters. The inside information on the pouch lid says, "...consists of 50% Black Cavendish tobaccos carefully mixed with ripe Virginia. Flavor: A hint of prune and plum." There is no mention of Burley or Dark Fired Kentucky nor did I perceive any. The topping flavor is there but not overly strong. Ranges from prune or raisin to dry wine. As with other Borkum blends, I find it gets better if the opened pouch sits around for a couple of weeks. Its not goopy but rather a dry smoke and tends to burn on the hot side. I prefer the Bourbon and Whiskey but do enjoy this one. (Smoked with a 9mm Meerschaum)...Read More

Product: Borkum Riff Black Cavendish 1.5oz
Black cavendish is my favorite tobacco in a good mixture. The only problem with that is I have become picky with the mixtures. I found this mixture is good but I felt I expected more than just the basic flavor this gave me. On another note, it burns consistently with little to no tongue bite. Room note was not anything amazing but was still very pleasant...Read More

I smoke original and bourbon whiskey all the time. This is okay but I never finished the pouch because I always had something better to smoke.
