Borkhum Riff Original - 2 years on shelf.

[Jahman7]

Just smoked a bit of Borkhum Riff that I liked less than Captain Black. I generally smoke English blends. These were just cheap trials. I haven't had cheap tobacco in a while. I let this one sit for a while and realized, either my taste buds changed. Or I like it more than I thought.

Dark fruits. Dates, chocolate, a d subtle. Dark chocolate.

It's good, both in flavor and smell.

One of my Kenan meerschaums is a Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey pipe, big fan myself. Mostly lost interest in English offerings many years ago.

Only brand my dad smoked. Remember the smell like my childhood. I’ve got like 30 large old metal containers in the basement holding nails, screws and hardware that he collected.

I smoke it once in a while, never understood why its looked down on so much. Personal preferences I guess.

Then again, I love Lane Black Raspberry .

I used to smoke BR when I was 50 years younger. It has no ability to match up to what I am smoking now' But you have to start your smoking journey somewhere and for me it was BR!!
