It has a poor packing, by the time I have purchased this one it was all dried out. To be honest I didn't expect much, i was trying to survive with the absence of my usual choices. When it is all dry, a nightmare to have it in your pipe, it burns like matches. After moisturizing, almost promoted to a just smokable degree, but still burns too fast though not burning my palate. After all, I wouldn't mind smoking this one again if I don't have to.

My local shop always has pouches of Borkum Riff on display, so I thought I'd try this Scandinavian Mixture despite the poor reputation of Borkum Riff products.
Unfortunately my experience wasn't good. Nicely packed, with an attractive aroma, those are the only good things that can be said about this tobacco. Burns hot right from the start, and has an obvious chemical sweetener added. I stopped smoking it about a third way through my first bowl because I could feel that any further smoking would induce tongue bite. By then my mouth was awash with sweet saliva generated by whatever chemical had been added.
I threw the pouch away.
This is a poor quality product that is nowhere near as good as the Captain Black range of pipe tobaccos.

This tobacco much more dry than usual nutty scent of burley only on pouch not on smoke.need many relights.i think bad reputation borkum riff had deserve it. If in your country cant find but drug store tobacco so i think the cap. black is more accepted quality tobacco then the whole line of borkum riff.
