Borkum Riff Black Cavendish

Exactly as required.

Not to bad on the flavor, I smoke Captain Black mostly, and this is a close second.

Smooth smoke.

I enjoy Borkum Riff Black Cavendish pipe tobacco very much, a wonderful flavor.

Very good

I've been ordering the Cavendish until you get the Bourbon Whiskey, my 40 year staple, back in stock. It is a tolerable temporary substitute.

Good feel when loading my pipe. Excellent flavor. Suggest more attention be given to the quality feel of premium blends.

Perfection

I'm a Black Cavendish kind of guy. This always meets my expectations. Of course, smooth compared with many value blends.

The Flavor was a mild smoking outside watering my yard in the evening time about 7:00 pm C\ST. Love smoking it in my Big Ben pipe from Holland...Wish that I still had this pipe.it was an Alligator. green. It was a great pipe that I smoke the Borkum Riff Black Cavendish Tobacco.

Outstanding!#

First of all, this is not an all-black cavendish, like CB Dark or Lane BCA. It's a mixture of Virginia and about 50% black cavendish (as the package says, but more like 35-40%). Having said that, wonderful aroma off the pouch, mellow, no bite, an all-day smoke. Another plus, not much humectants/chemical coatings here, and just right moisture level, as pretty much all BR tobaccos. Can mix it with harsh too moist/too dry tobacco to mellow it out.

Pleasure to smoke Borkum Riff!

The smoke is pleasant and the blend is decent. I prefer captain black due to it tasting more rich to me in its flavors.

Aroma

This is not like American Black Cavendish. The taste is less sweet, but just as smooth. It is earthier and the aroma is more like simple tobacco. There are flavorings, but they applied lightly. This is my absolute favorite of the Borkum Riff blends. I find the others to be a bit too light.

I love having BRBlack Cavendish among the tobaccos in my rotation. Relative to the other varieties I've tried so far, it's bold but not overpowering.

Nice smoke but difficult to keep lit and gets a bite about half way through.

Im a newbie and I've only tried a few things so far. This is the best smoke I've had up til now. The only thing i've had that was better was a blend i bought at the tobacco store. Its well worth the money. Thats the good stuff.

I taste the flavor of the tobacco subtly after the prune and plum which, has mixed well balanced between the cavendish and, a light colored tobacco. I find the consistent burning also, steady flavor throughout a bowl burn time has, a satisfying, cool pleasure that, suit me well.

Exactly what I expected of Danish tobacco

Good Smoke

Excellent mild smoke. Perfect for a cool autumn day.

Fine

The aroma was nice not to strong, a nice burn no dry or funny feeling on my tongue, and a good product..

A wonderful addition if one mixes it with other cavendish brands. In my case, with Captain Black Gold. I really like the taste of pure tobacco without additives as whiskey, different fruits and so on. That's why 32 years ago I found out that Borkum Riff Black Cavendish corresponds to my needs. Dr. V. Gorshenin

it was a total great experience

Nice !

Fine quality pipe tobacco.

Very mellow smoke that does not have that bite or rough after taste! Love it and will be smoking more of it!

An enjoyable, comfortable tobacco.

Nice pleasant smoke and good aroma.

Love it. Good quality tobacco. Just as I remember it from the past.

He's in love it

A smooth blend, all-day smoke. Stands out among the Borkum Riff selections.

Nice

A dark, roasted, full body flavor and smooth burn, Borkum Riff’s Black Cavendish brings excellence to your smoke.

Average

I am very pleased with Borkum Riff Black Cavendish. Smooth, rich flavor and a mellow room note!

I like the taste and very smooth.

I remember the time in early 90s when suddenly my favorite Borkum Riff Black Cavendish disappeared at all. I was in despair and with great difficulties found a pair of packs in Prague (existed at that time such a country as Czechoslovakia). Thank God, finally it reappeared again. For me it's important as an additive to the Captain Black Gold, and for smoking it separately is too strong. Among other Borkum Riffs it's the only one made by "Cavendish cut" which I consider to be the most pleasant for smoking. I wish this product will return to it's first primary look as it came to the market: Black was in a black nice pouch and recognizable at once!

Fast service

I enjoy smoking this tobacco, it’s cool burning and stays lit.

the borkum riff tobacco is a pleasure to smoke and i enjoy all the borkum riff tobaccos for over 30 years. and still a great value.

Good taste profile and good aromatics

I use this tobacco to mix with other pipe tobacco, to roll cigarettes. This is the THIRD time I have suggested that cigarette rolling tobacco be included in your lineup of various tobacco. Please ask the Tobacco King to include these tobaccos as well. How about an answer from the CEO .

Not really a true cavendish. Not really black. Looks like some Virginia, something brown, no black! Not that it's bad, but it smokes a bit harsh. Closer to smokers pride than, say, Lane Ltd BCA. Worth a try but I wouldn't buy it bulk!

A perfect fall blend that would go well with hot apple cider. As you sip your pipe, the tastes of cinnamon and prune come through. It reminds me of the traditional Christmas puddings served in Ireland.

I've used the Borkum Riff Bl. Cavendish with the Original blend as my own blend for years. It's a great combination

This tobacco has been a favorite for a long time......by itself, or as a blend mix. My favorite blend is mixing it with Sir Walter Raliegh Aromatic....pleasant to the taste, very little bite, and non-smokers often comment on how pleasing the aroma of the smoke ls to them........try it..........

I have tried over 20 different types of tobacco in my pipes. Hated this mixture, Better off smoking something else, anything but this. Save your money and buy something better like Lane BCA if you like Black Cavendish.

Got this for my son and he lives in Ireland and is used to many Petersen's blends. He loved it and was very pleased with this gift!

I prefer the Amphora as it has a better flavor. Borkum is too dry and burns hotter and faster.

Fast & timely shipment. Great service and very affordable.

Not sure what went wrong as my opinion of this does not agree with many others: I found Borkum Riff BC to have a lot of tongue bite, seemed to burn pretty hot if you keep puffing, but would not burn well at all if you take your time with it. I bought this as part of "The Black Knight" duel, and found the Captain Black Dark to be way better than the Borkum Riff.

I really enjoy Borkum blends, they always deliver a satisfying smoke for me and I'm able to get the base tobacco taste despite the flavoring. This one was no exception. I did notice that the pouch made no mention of Dark Fired Kentucky and the label looks slightly different. Wonder if its been tweaked. Tho I still prefer the Whiskey blend the most, the Black Cavendish was similar enough to hit the spot. It tended to burn hot and was definitely better the more it dried. I suggest leaving the opened pouch sitting around for a week or two for maximum results. The taste varied between raisin/plum to dry red wine. A sipping smoke that did not burn me but I am used to Borkum and have learned how to draw it without bite. I recommend trying it and would not discount this blend just because it comes in a pouch. Better than a lot of tinned tobaccos I've tried.

This was a blend I thought I would enjoy, and I did, until something went off the rails. I liked the cut, the aroma in the pouch was very nice, it smoked cool and produced nice thick smoke. Everything was fine until about half way through the bowl. The nice nutty plummy flavor suddenly turned to a harsh chemical taste. It was sharp and kinda sour and stung my nose. It wasn't burning hot and there was no bite but the pleasant rather mellow flavor became harsh and acrid. I thought that maybe it was a reaction with my personal chemistry but my wife asked me if I was still smoking the same stuff I had been because now it really stinks. So it wasn't me. It was the tobacco. I was getting a thumbs up for aroma and it suddenly went wrong. I tried it again the next day in a different pipe with the same result. It's a shame too because from the first light to about the halfway point I thought it was enjoyable.

Husband went back to pipe smoking and really enjoys the Borkum riff

Everything I thought it would be!

Ordering borkum riff is wonderful

Harsh! CB Dark is amazingly good, but BR BC is pretty rough. I like to let the smoke linger in my nostrils and sinuses to get a great sense of the flavor and aroma, but this one just won't let me. It burns well, but there are other tobaccos to try before going back to it.

My favorite is still the BR Whiskey

Good but not great. Drugstore brand widely available. Lane 1q is better but costs more. Try Capt Black or super value black cavendish. Nobody has matched Flying Dutchman. Nobody.

I am new to pipe smoking and my view on this tobacco comes from very limited experience with tobaccos. I purchased it to try - this is it. I like it but again, I have nothing to compare it to or have a firm view on this tobacco. I probably will buy it a few more times to be able to form some rational view and compare to other tobaccos I plan to try.

Wow, this stuff is awesome. Smokes like a unique flavorful dream from top to bottom of the bowl. Highly recommended from this seasoned Pipester.

Mild enough with excellent flavor- a good all-dayer, a fine outside tabak. Dependable, not as rich as I'd hoped, but you won't be disappointed if you're a Cavendish man.

The best!

Pleasantly surprised. Good quality, smokes great.

Terrible!!!

Very engoyable

Thanks

I thought this was good, different from other cavendishes. It is a tastey change.

One of my go to blends. Mild, smooth and with no bite. Always satisfies.

STARTED SMOKING THIS IN COLLEGE 52 YEARS AGO. GREAT!

Not much flavor, nothing stands out.just average

I've smoked Borkum Riff for years. I've been happy with the Black Cavendish.

Pleasant, rich smoke, if a tad hotter than expected. Nicely aromatic. Really quickly shipped too!

Enjoyed the Borkum Riff Black Cavendishand will buy it again.

They were pretty dry. I mixed them with vanilla cavendish to compensate for the dryness. Other than that: they were good but not great.

I recently purchased this Black Cavendish for my tobacco rotation, and I have,to say that I love the smooth sweet flavor. This one is a keeper!

My first order of a pipe and some tobacco samples can on time. The quality of the pipe met my expectations--it was excellent.

this brand has become unavailable in my area recently.thanx for offering it
