Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish (Ruby)

After looking at the many negative reviews of this blend i was very surprised how much i enjoyed it the taste is rather nice as is the room note and soon smoked the entire pouch in no time it can bite a bit if your a puffer but i never found it a problem a nice cherry blend when compared to the many other blends give it try.

Incredible, absolutely incredible Such a delicious smoke for for such an affordable price When I first open the pack I was like: "Wow, such a lovely smell, hope the taste can somewhat compliment it" and after the first bow, it did the job perfectly. The smell of cherry is definitely there, I almost mistaken it for an aromatic type (which I occasionally don't like since those type of tobacco lacks the nicotine). This is absolutely the best of both worlds, it packs a great amount of tobacco (not to much, not to little), and a wonderful fragrance. It's something that you can take anywhere with on any occasion. Strong fragrance, mild amount of nicotine, this is absolutely a must try tobacco

Borkum Riff, Cherry Cavendish! (now called ruby). Opening that pouch and smelling that sweet amazing cherry aroma - is just the best!

Why so many have had a bad experience with this blend is beyond me, maybe bad batches were shipped out years ago?

Tastewise: Creamy cherry deliciousnesss, with just a small splash of vanilla mixed in there for added benefit and uniqueness. No bite, No bitterness, No fuss. Lights well every time, always delivers that pleasurable no-frills smoke when you need to wind down and puff away. This is what I want in my pipe bowl during a lazy summers afternoon, THIS is the stuff i would stash away a metric ton of, inside an secure underground bunker when the world was coming to an end. After a while of testing different styles and blends early in my pipe hobby, this became the staple, go-to, golden standard on my shelf.

The other borkum riffs i don't care for at all, they are ranging from just ok to flat out hideous. This one howewer is a true gem worthy of the name ruby.

Also: Getting compliments from people on the lovely smell as you are smoking, is an added benefit.

Price point: Cheap As of writing this 165:- SEK in Sweden (17 USD) by online stores.

Fun fact: Borkum Riff is named after a reef located in the north sea.

I know I'm going against popular opinion here, and I'm open to the possibility that I'm deluded, but I've been smoking pipes for a couple of years now and have tried a few, admittedly not many, different flavors and brands, and Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish is the only pipe tobacco I like. I've actually thrown away some others, or mixed them with the BRCC in order not to waste them. I've read just about every insult possible leveled at the BRCC in terms of it's nefarious effects on the smoker the pipe and the room, and yeah, she does bite at times, but who doesn't? Anyway, just thought I'd put in a good word for the underdog as the BRCC's been treating me well.

Again I think tobacco snobs give this low rating because it's Borkum Riff. I love how this smokes great right out of the pouch. Great cherry flavor. If you are a heavy puffer and don't have a slow and smooth cadence or new to pipe smoking. This could cause bite. But I love the smooth smoke and great balence of tobaccos.

I'm just about to buy some BRCC because of all the great reviews. But reading some of the comments about the price people have to pay for tobacco in the US and the UK and Europe...really cracks me up. Because here in Oz, we are paying $65 Oz dollars for 1.6 ounces/50 grams for a packet. That's $49 US dollars and 40 British quid and 46 Euro's. So guys when you think 13 quid or $10 US dollars etc is getting a bit expensive, just think of us here in Oz, paying the prices mentioned above.

Cherry smoker? Grab your pipe, pack that sucker up with a clump of BR Cherry Cav and puff away. This stuff will put some hair on your chest and on your face. So it bites a bit and might burn hot if you get carried away... no bigs, this is a man's smoke packed with flavor. A litte bite and heat won't hurtcha. The sweet smokey smell will linger in facial hair like a hot cherry halo that will last for hours. Dig it.

Lovely tobacco, my wife does not like the smell of cigarettes and found a tolerably pleasant this tobacco. Do not burn your tongue, the bite and enjoyable. After smoking, not a strong taste and is steeped in the tongue and mouth and I dare say that the taste is pleasant. A blend of tobaccos cured air very balanced and rich in flavors pleasant. They make more than 1 year I stopped smoking and this was my first experience with tobacco since. I recommend for beginners, but also recommend cautiously begin to feel the richness of this tobacco.

Is one of my favorites and one of the best Cherry tobbacos. Not so Strong in Nicotine, but is very strong in flavour! For People that enjoy Cherry Flavour and sweet Cavendish Tobaccos, it may be a good choice. I feel Cherry Tobaccos, and this is between the betters Easy to find in all the world. This Blend, as other Borkun Riffs, prior were made in Sweden, and now, in Denmark.
Although it remains as one of my Favorites, the Original's Recipe was even much better.
