Not sure if all of the negative comments are a result of the manufacturer changing recipes. I think some of the dates are a bit old. But I find this to be a simple, tasteful smoke. Easy to light, good flavor. Not overly vanilla. Pleasant room note. I have smoked it plain and I have mixed it with some black cavendish which is a good combo.

Between the Borkun Riffs, this is the one of best. I enjoy this and also the Cherry Cavendish and the Honey & Orange. The smokers that like Vanilla and Aromatics may be give to this blend a chance.

Ah, my first pipe tobacco ever. It was my bible in pipe tobbacos. I have to admit, after all these years, i really like to smoke some vanilla cavendish from time to time. Nice room note, not an overwhelming aroma, just gives a sweetnes to the tobacco. However, it can bite, and tends to be a little wet in the pouch, so you have to dry it. I recomend it for anyone!

This tobacco is for somebody who wants mild vanilla tobacco without tongue bite. Flavors is vanilla and fruit and I found it very pleasant. I recommend it for beginners.

Well as a beginners pipe smoker i'm just tasting pipe tobaccos right now. I really recommend this to the beginners pipe smoker. Specially when u mix it by your own with Alsbo Vanilla and Gold.

The strength is not strong, but it's why I like in this tobacco. The taste is not strong either. I would recommend this tobacco to novice smokers.

Living as I now do now in SA Asia and having been a user of English blends for many years I despaired of finding a decent smoke.This is very different to what I am used to and is a much slower smoke(to avoid bite) but having mastered it I would recommend it as a good daytime smoke as long as you are prepared to take you time

I enjoyed this tobacco very much. The aroma is great, burns well, delivers a good flavour and aroma throughout the whole bowl and burn to fine ashes... Nothing to complain about here. As a side note, it is one of my wifes favorite room notes as well...
