In the Pouch,it have e very pleasant flavour, bu somewhat "dry". During Smoking, This is a very Sweet,but not so Mild Tobacco. The flavour-scent-taste or Orange is cleary noted, but the Honey is not easily perceptible. It also have bitter residual taste. This tobacco burns very easily and hot. Because of this,it should be smoked slowly. I like it, but seems to me that this tobacco is only for people that cleary enjoy very Sweet Cavendish Tobaccos.

It is my favorite blend so far, but I tried to be objective! I would personally recommend it for sure!

Another surprise from Borkum Riff. I suggest to increase its humidity after purchase. The declared orange and honey aroma is perceivable as pouch note, room note and in retro hale, with pleasant, refreshing, notes of citrus sourness. The (declared) Kentucky (and/or Burley?) gives some body and prevents the mixture from being banal. The Burley adds nutty notes devoid of unpleasant cigarett-ish hints. I approached this tobacco with some skepticism, but i was wrong. Now I like it quite a lot. Something different for the aromatic lovers. I find it a very nice "breaker" of the (relative) monotony of black cavendish smokes. If I smoke three aromatics a day, I place my Borkum Riff Orange between two sweeter cavendish-based tobaccos (namely, bourbon, vanilla, rum-based mixtures), with great delight. Overall light and fresh, for me it's an ideal summer smoke.

can t see why the reviews are so bad. solid mixture, burns easily and no biting at all when smoked slowly or in a normal tempo. nice orange taste, creamy consistence what i guess is meant by honey. not much honey taste for itself, but then honey is written only in small letters on the pouch 😉 worth a try.
