I remember this package very well as my first ever pipe tobacco was a Borkum Riff "Bourbon Whiskey". I believe I bought the 250G tin with the original markings.

Do you still smoke it rehfeldttw? What is it like? Now I am thinking about trying it.

I remember it well. It was really excellent robust taste, mildly sweet, and the strength was mild to medium. But it bites. Maybe I puffed to hard. Perhaps then, I wasn't as experience as I am now. But, then, I really did enjoy this smoke and wouldn't mind picking up a pack or a tin to bring back memories.

I'm new to pipesmoking, and recently picked up a package of this, unaware it was a 40th anniversary product. Am enjoying the tobacco.

One of my first try's and it did have a bite... again like others, with more experience under my belt, I might give it a try again.

I have been smoking the Whiskey blend since 1969.I think the original black pouch is much better looking than the brown. I usually buy 3 or 4 6 pack cartons at a time. I think something has changed since you went back to the brown pack. The blend seems different and is harder to smoke. Is the cut finer? It seems like my pipes block up very easily now. That never happened before. It is also harder to keep burning. What's up? Code numbers on one of the current pouches is
08129 G221 04100211. It is not just one pouch from 1 six pack. It is the last several 6 packs that are different. Whatever you changed, please change it back (including the original packaging.
Sincerely,

I agree with Ray's post on 7-6-10. Something has changed. I just started back smoking a pipe after not smoking for 10 years. Something has certainly changed in the blend and cut.
Please change it back to the ORIGINAl blend and cut and packaging.
Thanks,
Mike
