You don't need any hermeneutic effort to understand BR Genuine, it's a simple but not banal recipe without frills that turns out since the first puffs: Virginias and toasted Burley is all you can find here and that's pleasant enough.

Good tobacco. Until now, best Borkum Riff tobacco to me. Genuine tobacco flavour and aroma. Somewhat bites, Puffy slow and lightly. Try it.

The best offering from Borkum Riff and the only one unflavored (so far). This is a nicely balanced mixture of matured bright Virginias and roasted burleys that provide a distinctive taste of freshly baked bread and coffee.
This is the cheap, unaged version of Stonehaven with tongue bite. The Esoterica's masterpiece is so good that even that loose resemblance is enough to give it 3 stars.

This is a very good addition to the BR roster... Made in DK by specialists Mac Baren, this blend does not disappoint. It is more dedicated to purists, has no added flavouring or aroma to the extent I could perceive... Maybe a bit of tobacco flavouring - I mean a sauce made from tobacco leaf has been added to re-inforce the concept of this blend... Burns well, no bite, nice tobacco flavour and aroma... try it..
