Borkum Riff- Mixture With Cherry Cavendish. When I first lit this I thought "I'll have to disagree with popular opinion, it's worth a high score as it's a good aromatic". That lasted all but ten puffs. After that the tongue bite kicked in. It's a belligerent son of a b****.
The cherry addition comes over well, not overly strong but very easy to taste. It doesn't have too much of a false note to it which I find many cherry blends have. The cherry is at the perfect weight.
Sadly that's any praise for this harsh blend over with.
I find any decent tobacco flavours are completely redundant. Any sweetness from the Black Cavendish can't compete with the sweet taste from cherries and the Virginia only gives the smoke some body and a touch of N.
Another low point is the temperature. It burns far too hot. This seems to contribute to the fact the bowl is over in a flash.
The room note is alright but sadly that isn't anywhere near enough to redeem this monstrosity from the lowest depths.
Not recommended.

This was my first cherry flavoured tobacco. After you open the pouch a sweet cherry smell comes out instantly. The smell is very pleasant. The tobacco is amixture of black cavendish and virginia. It burns slowly and cold. I first smoked the tobacco in a Vauen Classic full bent pipe. Also there is no tongue bit instead. The smoke has a pleasant sweet cherry note. Nothing I Like in this tobacco
