Smells wonderful. Smokes meh! Not horrible, but it's nothing that says, "buy more." I redeemed mine by mixing in increasing amounts of Lancers Slices, until it became decent enough to puff away on. The large metal tin will house some "on deck" bulk tobacco,when I'm done with it.

Generous flat thin ribbon cut with an outstanding tin with an exotic visual and textural description of a timeless journey into the 1800’s in the vicinity of lower longitudes and rare transported ingredients to enjoy a smoke of back-in-the-day. The blend developed into an enjoyable smoke so I had a few bowls and all the while thinking I could smoke this daily, but alas my membranes failed me by not being leathery enough to smoke with any regularity, but for an all day smoke or an every day smoke this is 2 stars for me.

I received a can of this as a sample in an order of tobacco that I had placed online. I must admit I was skeptical to even place it in one of my pipes due to my past experiences with Borkum Riff (Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey being the worst of the lot, and quite possibly the worst tobacco I have ever smoked). Amazingly enough, This offering from Borkum Riff was not half bad. There was some tobacco flavor present, although it does bite my tongue slightly. The room note was quite nice, and the added toppings on this blend do not completely mask the tobacco flavor. This is definitely the best Borkum Riff offering I have smoked, but it still falls short of what I consider a quality tobacco. Not bad, but wouldn't order any more of it.
