I was at a local B&M earlier today when a guy walked in and began chatting with the owner. He mentioned he was new to pipe smoking and was looking for a tobacco that he says was recommended to him by a co-worker. That tobacco was Borkum Riff. He didn't say which BK blend, just Borkum Riff. The owner couldn't help him as he doesn't carry any of BK's products.
The guy thanked him and left. As soon as he walked out the door, the owner looked at me and another customer and said, "His co-worker must really hate him!" The other customer replied "What was he looking for? Borkum Riff? I pray he never finds it!"
We all chuckled and that was that.
Which leads me to the thread title. Is there anyone out there that actually does like it?
I'm torn myself. I've tried BK Whiskey and while I didnt think it was "terrible" it had an "off" somewhat perfume taste that I just didn't care for. Ok, now that I'm thinking about it again, it was pretty bad. On the flip side, I do like their Black Cavendish.
EDIT: I should add that, obviously somebody likes it as they wouldn't still be in business otherwise. But who and where are these people at? I have yet to find any pipe smoker that has anything nice to say about their blends. (Well, except for me with my comment about their Black Cavendish :P )
