Is a mixture of Burley and Virginia Tobaccos, strong, but not so aromatic. is totally neutral, even tasteless.

It is only for smokers that enjoy totally natural and fully neutral tobaccos.

Similar to Borkun Riff Ultra light but much stronger.

Is a good choice for mix, for making personal mixtures,bu too strong for me, to be smoked pure.After a fews bowl, the smoker will be bored with their strenght.

I disagree that this is the best Borkum.Similar to this, and also bad, are Borkun Riff's Classic and Original, but others Borkuns: The Black Cavendish,Ultra Light, Honey & Orange, Vanilla and Champagne are much better and Cherry Cavendish is the best Borkum,4 stars.

As other Borkun Riff's, this was made in Sweden by Swedish Match, buto now is made in Denmark, by the same company that make MacBaren Tobaccos.

OMG, I read my earlier review and I had to erase it all.

This one bites like a pit-bull. Even among drugstore tobaccos, this one really sucks. I can't recommend this to anyone.

If you bought a pouch, smoke it fast or throw it out. Even keeping it almost sealed up, it got really tasteless after a couple of months.

Some say this is the best Borkum Riff blend available in Brazil, so I think I'm done with the brand.
