Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish (Ruby)

One word decribes it all : Booby Trap. "A booby trap is a device or setup that is intended to kill, harm or surprise a person, unknowingly triggered by the presence or actions of the victim." It did indeed. No need to tell you that I am a relatively new smoker. Mistakes were made. As it was not enough, it funked my beloved Peterson. The taste brought me straight back to my Chemistry class. It was pretty close to eating Maynard's Sour Cherry Blaster. Amen.

This is an excellent cherry flavoured tobacco with a pleasant room note.I would have given it 4 stars but it burns fast & hot.I would like to add a word of caution here,do not smoke it in a metal pipe.I almost burned my fingers while I was smoking it in my Falcon & had touched the bottom of the pipe when it had reached the end of the bowl.

If you like aromatics then in my opinion this is one is definitely worth a try.

I have mixed feelings about it because I'm not an aromatic fan.

This one however if you like the cherry casing is a nice smoke.

I wasn't impressed with my first bowl. The second was delicious, tasted like cherries and cream.

Unfortunately that didn't last, my next smoke was mediocre and I couldn't even finish the pack before I'd had enough of it.

It's good tobacco but I'm only giving it two stars because it's not really for me and I would not buy it again but if you like aromatics of this ilk it could be 4 stars for you, without a doubt.

Nasty. Dry in the pouch, sickly sweet smell. Strong artificial cherry taste, like cough medicine or burnt candy-floss. Burns hot & fast. Never again. Not recommended.

A good tobacco with the taste of the cherry and aroma present. Cool and mild to smoke with an even burn, possible tongue burn if you have a good pair of lungs.

Very cherry tobacco, artificial cherry but pleasant aroma. No tongue bite, nice and smooth tobacco, I recommend this tobacco to people who like sweet and cherry tobaccos.

This tobacco is just fine. Not good and not bad at all, just reasonable. I will smoke it if I cannot find anything better. By the way, it is very cheap!

Para os amigos/as de língua PORTUGUESA segue a minha avaliação.

Em função do preço, esse é um tabaco muito consumido, porém "peca" na qualidade. O sabor e aromas são artificiais, a fumada é quente e muito úmida, o que prejudica a fumada. Na língua sentimos a sua "mordida. Para os aficionados pelos aromáticos, pode ser que goste.

The reviews on this pipe fodder really left me curious, being so varied and at both ends of the spectrum. I had to find out for myself. Upon opening, the aroma was sweet, quite cherry like but too much and certainly not artificial or candy smelling. As noted in another review, this tobacco was rather dry, more so than what I am familiar with. It lit well but burned a little hotter than I would like. I did enjoy the smoke and will add this to my rotation, however I will moisten it with a potato chunk over night and update this review. Updated review; After allowing this mixture to gain some moisture it came alive. The smoke was wonderful, no bite and loads of flavour. Don't dismiss this blend without trying it. I am quite happy that I formed my own opinion.
