It just tongue bite and the taste is not good.
Not good at all
January 10, 2017
Product: Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey 1.5oz
Just not good at all to my tastes. Flavor is bitter. Has about the worst bite I've ever found in pipe tobacco. Only bought it in the past because at the time I was inexperienced and had no clue about good tobacco or where it came from. Tried it again... Read More
later once I had experience and still don't like it at all. Read Less
Not the best for your buck.

Product: Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey 1.5oz
Seemed to burn slower but my bowl was still hot. Offers some bite but not alot. Smells decent out of the pouch. Better tobaccos for the same price out there and overall I didn't find it very enjoyable. I'm dissapointed I didn't buy something else but... Read More

Neptune's trousers! this stuff is God awful. If you took your ass and left it out in the hot summer sun for a week, this is what it would taste like. That's just the initial taste. The after taste is worse. It's a slowly dying taste of essence of sun... Read More

Smells sickly, burns HOT!, the worse case of tongue bite I have ever had, the price for this travesty is criminal. I would not recommend this vile mix to ANYBODY.

Blast from the past

Product: Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey 1.5oz
Had a good friend who smoked this back in the 70’s and 80’s. Had to get a pouch for myself and remember the old times and a tip of the pipe to Doug Craig. RIP

Well, there I was. Trying to get back a little feeling from my young days when I first smoked a Dr. Grabow pipe at 14 and knew nothing of tobacco or even how to smoke. But we were at the PX in Ft. Rucker, AL and Borkum Riff was there along side the D... Read More
r. Grabow pipe. I bought the pipe but my dad had to buy the tobacco. Back then it was all about the idea of just holding the pipe and filling a room with the aroma that came from it. 34 years later I got another tin of Borkum Riff bourbon whiskey mixture just to add to my cellar for old time sake. One day I decided to give it a try. It was so horrible that after several more tries I ended up throwing the tobacco out and keeping the tin. It burned hot, had absolutely horrible taste and tongue bite, and ruined my mouth for a couple hours after. NO WAY! Never again. This blend has been buried and will not be coming back to my cellar. :-( Read Less

Horrible Tobacco

Wish I would have spent the money on Captain Black because I ended up throwing this away. It's best flavor is "bitter," with fierce tounge bite.
Worst Tobacco I Ever Used
February 21, 2021
Product: Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey 7oz
Of all the various tobacco blends I've used this has to be the absolute worst. Strong, burns to hot in pipe, cannot be retrohale because it burns nostrils. Smells like rotten cigarettes. Does not even deserve one star. A absolute garbage.

Product: Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey 7oz
A fairly decent blend, a little on the dry side, smokes faster, so sip gently. Flavor is good, however, you can get a bit of tongue bit if you smoke too fast. Personally, I like and occasional blend like this to remind me of how things used to be. R... Read More

Summer Blend
April 29, 2022
Product: Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey 1.5oz
I really don’t see the problem with this tobacco. It’s practically a Virginia blend with a bit of spicy Black Cavendish. It’s closer to Amphora and Sail than Captain Black to me. It has a nice tangy, dark fruit flavor going on with a touch of spice.
Excellent all day smoke
April 04, 2022
Product: Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey 1.5oz
Excellent all day smoke, this blend pairs exceedingly well with a nice glass of Sweet iced tea. The smoky taste from the barrel aged bourbon whiskey combines delightfully with the citrusy sweetness found in your Virginia tobacco. This is a phenomenal... Read More
smoke I find myself reaching for it quite often.
This blend is not wet or goopy. Nor does it have a chemically smell. I don’t think you’ll win any awards with the room note though. Not to say that it’s bad it’s just not sweet. This is absolutely one of my favorite holiday smokes Read Less
Taste, where are you?

Product: Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey 1.5oz
Usually I quite enjoy an aromatic, and decided to give this one a try since I am a big whiskey drinker. However, I tried this in both my Briar and Cob pipe and could not manage to find any taste. Only smoke. It does not smell too bad however and doe... Read More
s not burn as hot as other aromatics so I will give this a slightly higher rating that 1 but slightly below 2. Read Less

Product: Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey 1.5oz
I cracked the jar I had this cellaring in, for 2/3 years now, and discovered that it was not as bad as I remembered. I have no local tobacconist to me, so I got it from the local Cigarette and Cigar Outlet when I was attempting to find an enjoyable O... Read More
TC Pipe Tobac. It has definitely mellowed with age: not as unpleasantly tangy as I remembered…and instead of the smoke always smelling like a dead cigarette butt, now only the unlit bowl smells like a dead cigarette butt. I suspect that that is the Virginia’s fault…BUT the more I smoked of this one bowl, the less I enjoyed it, and the more unpleasant it became. I dumped the bottom of the bowl.
I laughed out loud reading the most approved reviews: they are all so right! I am just adding mine because it’s now 2022 and not 2017! I am NOT a tobac snob, Captian Black White is a fantastic smoke, Lane 1-Q is delightful and Sutliff Medium English gives me serious Frog Morton vibes (I literally still have some FM) but the guys who think this is a Five Star smoke, I cry a single tear for you!
This goes back into the cellar. I’ll write another review of it in 2-3 years! Read Less

Lost my pipe smoking virginity to Borkum Riff in 1980. For years I smoked the bourbon whiskey exclusively. To this very day (2021) I can not bad mouth it.

Very good tobacco if you’re accustomed to European tobacco
Wish it was as good as drinking

Like many have mentioned, definitely some tongue bite. Wished the tobacco/flavor was better. Definitely more to be desired left on the table.

So I tried this over a year ago, and didn’t finish the bowl. Tawdry common and overdone with casing. I should’ve thrown in out, but I likely forgot about it, and happened upon the bag when cleaning out some old pipe stuff. Interestingly, it went from... Read More
1 star to 3.5 after considerable uncontained drying. Burnt right up with zero gurgle and was still sweet. If you somehow end up with it, this the only way it becomes semi-decent Read Less

Strange but not horrible
November 06, 2019
Product: Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey 1.5oz
Not half as bad as the tobacco snobs make it out to be, but I find this brand to have a strange after taste that comes with cheaper tobacco I guess

Product: Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey 1.5oz
I bought this at my local smoke shop a long time back and really enjoyed it. Smooth smoke; not much of a bite. I've been looking for this for awhile and I'm glad i found it.
Decent OTC

I rarely smoke aromatics, but at least with this blend I know when my pipe is lit! I much prefer this to 1Q/Captain Black. Can be a little harsh if you push it though.

find a Bourbon. Shallow taste to find the style of the cigarette, which is why some people say it has the taste of chewing tobacco. In short this is a great deployment.

Product: Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey 1.5oz
This is one of those tobaccos that you'll either hate or love. Being from Kentucky I happen to love bourbon and this is one of those OTC tobaccos that I happen to like very well. It tends to burn hot and bite hard, but if sipped slowly, it's one of t... Read More
hose few tobaccos that will reward you greatly with flavor and an overall relaxing experience. The pouch note it that of chewing tobacco (crazy huh?) but the room note is that of an old fashioned aromatic with hint of vanilla and creme that people tend to complement. One of my top ten OTC's.
