A new flake from Borkum Riff that also has a Cherry variety. The flakes are very high quality tobacco and very well and uniform pressed and wrapped in a beautiful golden foil on paper wrapper. I would classify this as quite a strong smoke, especially in the nicotine department, with a heavy accent on Burley. The vanilla flavouring is quite subdued and not half as present as for instance in Mac Baren's vanilla flake. Mac Baren may well have produced this flake though. Not overtly sweet either. The first half of the bowl is quite mellow but at half bowl the typical Borkum Riff Burley heaviness starts to intrude and that is when the going gets tough. Try it by all means if you like a good whack over the head, it will satisfy for sure but can become overbearing in the end.
