Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey

This has been my number one for the past 10 years. Mostly because it's readily available in my area. Love the Bourbon notes . I typically let it dry for 2 - 3 hours, burns much better, but can bite when too dry.

good

Loved this one!

Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey is a smooth smoking blend with a pleasant room note!

My favorite daily smoke.

it is my preferred brand -- but it's hard to keep in stock.

burn good taste is good

I've been smoking Borkum Riff Bourbon Riff Whiskey from when I first started to smoke a pipe. And that was about 40 years ago. It could be longer than that. I'm not sure. However, I have enjoyed Borkum Riff all that time. I really enjoy it. It has a great taste and has maintain that taste all through the years.

Great smoke as always... smokes cool, nice flavor and aroma. I'm complimented often on my tobacco and the pipes I use.... I just tell folks to check Pipes & Cigars on line. You need to as well... enjoy your down time with your favorite pipe and Borkum Riff... you'll relax in style. ~D~

I have been using bth products for quite a few years . The Dr. grabow filters were sold in most places and were reasonably priced and did as good of a job as any others that I had used. The Borkum Riff bourbon Whiskey burns pretty cool and doesn’t burn my tongue like some other tobaccos that I have smoked.

Simple ordering process. Faster than expected delivery. Tobacco was just as expected. Smooth, robust, and fresh.

One of my old time favorites! I am taken back with pleasant memories of previous times of enjoyment. I love to come back home to the distinctive bourbon taste of this tobacco. It's a definite wake up flavor and makes me want to fix an Old Fashion. It will always remain in my reppritore of tobaccos.

This u is s harsher than I remember! Maybe you could call it “rough” instead of smooth.

Great service!

Good price. Arrived quickly as always.

Good flavor and pleasant to smoke. Nice relaxing smoke.

All good 👍 except when I order two cans of pipe tobacco one of the cans are always opened and dry out

Normally no problems, but in this shipment one of the cans had come open during shipping and the contents spilled into the box.

Nice scent, flavor and burn.

Excellent tobacco typical European style cut and flavor.

This is great but I started mixing my own. Take the BR original and lay it out on foil. Put whiskey in a spray bottle and mist it down, let it dry, about 5 times. When dries put it in can and let sit a month. It makes it very fluffy and I can not tell that it leaves it any less fresh after being opened and repacked. Much better this way.

Was OK, not what I expected but was OK

After nearly 40 years, I am unable to find anything better - or equal

Good to know you have the product. Very scarce with other suppliers.

Great in all aspects, smell and smoke! Only pipe tobacco I use and have tried many others!

Excellent pipe tobacco and great timely service! Smells great no bite!

Good

This is one of my favorites with it's slow burn and mild whiskey flavor. This is the optimum blend and mixture of tobaccos.

A strong and desirable choice!

I have reviewed this product previously.... however enough can not be said about how good this tobacco is. A cool, mild, slow burning mixture of flavorful blends... Borkum certainly got this product right... with just the correct hint of bourbon to top it off... it's no wonder this item is 'out of stock' several times over the year.... if you don't try it, you're missing out...

The only brand my husband likes and Pipes and Cigars alwasy carries it and the website makes it easy to order. Thanks to the staff too that are very helpful.

JUST WHAT I LIKE.

Fast shipping and good product

Very pleasant smoke

The tobacco was very dry, not like I remember it. I used to smoke it many years ago. Still smokes fairly well.

Great pipe tobacco.

Bought several of these for gifts for friends. They all loved them.

All but bourbon whiskey were real good flavors.

It was OK. I liked Captain black better.

Taste great and also pleasing to the ladies

Been smoking it for Years. Won't smoke anything else!

Good smoke

great prices and delivery

Borkum Riff Bourbon and Natural is one of my tobaccos.

Initially I thought that I made bad choice buying this.I worked through about one half a can and then figured out how to pack and smoke it. Loose and slow works the best for me in my favorite old briar. It brings out out a nuttiness that I didn't notice before. If it gets hot, set it aside and come back. You will be much more appreciative of this.

Old school flavor!

I’ve been smoking Borkum Riff for better than 40 years.

Started pipe smoking in college and tried many different brands and types. This is the only one I can enjoy all day.

it smokes really well my favor

Everyone hates Borkum Riff. I have been smoking it for more than 40 years and it is just what I am used to.

very smooth and people luv the smell

Honestly don't love this blend other than the Room note. May have the best room note of any tobacco I have ever smoked. It was also my Grandfather's favorite blend so when I think of him I will get some out of my cellar. I recommend for room note and flavor is not bad. Be warned though it bites if burned too hot. I have gotten tongue bite multiple times from this Aromatic.

Real nice flavor

I started smoking a pipe when I was in the navy at 18. Borkum Riff was in the ships store. I liked the flavor so that's all I smoke. I'm 60 now.

I am going to give this another shot in one of my better pipes, but as of now very unimpressed. Having said that, I waited awhile before buying this tobacco as I was simply unsure of how great a product it'd be considering many of the other products I've purchased - Cult Blood Red Moon, Suttliff Vanilla and Suttliff creme brule, Cult Militia, Cult Conspiracy and many others... And to be clear I am not just about sweet aromatics, I like Cornnel & Deil Black Duck, Suttliff Crumble Kake no 2 and other non-aromatics. Something about Borkum Riff that just seemed underwhelming and bit like smoking a cigarette. I've give it another go with a proper pipe and see if the flavor and aroma change any.

Bought it for my father in law He loves this brand

I like it

Been smoking it probably 35 plus years.

Helped with over all cost

This is one of my favorite blends. Blend is very pleasant to the senses! Smokes great!

First smoke l ever had 30 years ago

This is about as neutral as it gets. I would consider it nothing to write home about, nor recommend.

Good tasting, long lasting and satisfying.

Always my favorite.

favorite

Love it

I smoke this band only and P&C provides an easy way to buy it an a great price. Ken

along with the Bourbon Whiskey and the Original you should carry the Black Cavendish in the 7oz and mabe the other flavors 7OZ FOR THE FULL LINE.

Great service. Delivery was on time. Will be a regular customer.

Borkum Riff Whiskey has been my choice for many years. Always presents a fine fragrance, good tobacco flavor, very satisfying to me. I do not like any latica, vanilla blends. I like tobacco fragrance and BR whiskey is it. I liked BR Rum while it was made too.

This is one of my favorites, great whiskey tobacco that's aged well, burns nicely, has a good flavor balance and is consistent every time. The "room" is good with this tobacco.

Has been my choice for over 30-years. More expensive than it should be though so, for that reason, I'm always looking for a less expensive alternative. Due to the unnecessarily high price, after being a loyal customer for over 30-years, I will switch, once I find an acceptable alternative.

Good taste and smells nice

Great English blend with a taste of bourbon that is not overwhelming

the best you should make the black cacendish available in the 7oz

This is the only tobacco my husband will smoke. He loves the Borkum Riff brand because he says it has a great burn and the flavor is blended just right. We have been married 38 years and this is the only brand he really likes to use. He enjoys the blend of bourbon and whiskey flavor.

Borkum Bourbon Whiskey is so good that it's been my "All Day" smoke for over ten years. Amazingly smooth Virginias with a super rich Bourbon top dressing. I've tried everything...and this is my top choice. Sold everywhere, making this a super easy everyday tobacco.

Good tobacco

Not as good as I remember it, still a good flavor but not the same as I remember. My oldest pipe is 45 years old, back then the package Borkum Riff came in was not the same as it is today, nor is the flavor, but I did enjoy it with my coffee. However, I do say try it, it's still a good flavor.

I like your products, i like your service. I only buy from you once a year because I HATE that you bombard me with emails .

Great tasting tobacco.

It’s my favorite pipe tobacco and it is difficult to find in my area. I will continue to order from Pipes and Cigars.

Been buying several of their varieties for a number of years now. I enjoy them all.

Great stuff!

Flavor is outstanding. I enjoy very light blends so I was nervous that I would not enjoy it, but for me it is the perfect level of strength. Goes great with some Bourbon.

I have been smoking Borkum Riff since I was 20 years old. I am 72 now. I have tried other tobaccos but the taste and smell always brings me back to Borkum.

Great for everyday and mixing with other tobaccos

Smells great but the smoke flavor is minimal.

Xcellant

Good

Mellow tobacco. Doesn’t bite like some do. Been buying for years. This product is as habit forming like all the rest.

There's a reason this is rated so highly. Trust the reviews.

Good flavor, slow burn, good quality mix of tobacco.

Very tasty

My favorite tobacco.

Fan for years

Exactly what I was looking for. Something both smooth and flavorful. I'm a huge bourbon fan so this hits the spot

Dependable quality.

...only brand I've smoked regularly for over 40 years. Tried other brands, off and on, but keep coming back.

excellent tobacco blend.

A classic pipe tobacco that I've smoked for over 40 years, always clean and delicious.

Works for me all time favorite.

I’ve ordered this for my dad a few times now and he loves it. Great Father’s Day and birthday gifts.

A custom blend of several tobaccos that are mild and exhibit a pleasant aroma when used. I have been smoking this brand for years and still find it one of the best around.... if you're a seasoned pipe smoker or a novice starting out... you owe it to yourself to give Borkum Riff Whiskey a try....

Smooth

Great product . Smoking for 25+ years Fair price!!! But going UP

Repeat order. My favorite

Very happy

Just a little light

As I fondly remember it from my youth

Nice tobacco

Trying to help you. Why is content required? This why I don't do these. Need new survey process, better don't have one.

Good taste. Mot everyone appreciates the aroma.

My go to tobacco. Not the most complex and can burn a little hot but I love it. Smells and tastes amazing. Not all I smoke but what I smoke the most. Rank 8.5/10

Normally great delivery had a hiccup this time. One of the 7oz cans of Borkum Riff I ordered had been squashed in transit and the contents were spilled inside of the box.

Reliable shipping, great pricing, superior tobacco.

the tobacco was great I have smoked it for years. The best thing is the price and the fast service. Keep it up . you have a great crew

Tastes great! Pouch keeps it from drying out.

Good tobacco

Great product, fast delivery.

Great tobacco beats all

Half and half mix with Original Borkum is a favorite blend.

My standard work tobacco

A good smoke!

Not my favorite. A little bitter taste after draw.

very mild taste and good flavor

Very good

Fast delivery!!

Not sure why it's a top seller. It's average. That's all. Not bad, not wonderful. I'll just stick with LaneQ1 And it was rather dry... not happy about that.

I know, everyone hates it. I is just that I have been smoking it for 40 years. I am used to it.

Moderately expensive, smooth smoke with no bite. One of my go to tobaccos. Seem to be out of stock a lot with the 7oz cans.

My brand for 30 plus years

Wonderful bourbon smelling tobacco. Moist to the touch, but not too moist. Mellow, smooth taste. Very little tongue bite, which is probably due to my cadence.

It was quite dry

Excellent service. Fast delivery.

It's great for my husband Doug.

Smoke good, smells good. Bland's excellent.

Nice change from other tobaccos.....smokes a bit hot but love the bourbon flavor!

I smoked this blend for many years and enjoyed it. Now that i picked it up again is still a good smoke!

I have been smoking Borkum Riff Whiskey since the 80's. Enough said!

I didn't get any sense of bourbon from the tobacco, neither from the pouch nor from the smoke. But that's not to say the tobacco wasn't exceptional, it was really good.

good smell it was ok

Great smoke, the only brand I have smoked for the last 20 years

I've used this for close to 40 years. It is my go to pouch.

Not too bad. Thought it would be a tad more aromatic than it was.

the flavor is outstanding and wife loves the aroma

My Dad used to love it

Not as good as the original, but still a good smoke.

Easy to order and shipping was good and husband very happy. And price was great.

My husband loves whiskey flavor. It is the only one he loves to smoke. He likes the way it smells he likes the taste and of all the brand the whiskey is his favorite.

Excellent

I don’t smoke but my husband really likes the whiskey brand. He says it taste real good and smells good and he really enjoys smoking it. The whiskey is his first choice.

Good stuff! You can't miss the bourbon flavor notes. I've had several bowls and have never been disappointed.

Really enjoy this blend sleeps and tastes good

Love it. Have smoked it for years

Excellent

Both are enjoyable

Always been a favorite.

I've been smoking this blend since 1978. I love it!!

Our order had tobacco floating all over the other cans. One popped open because just one of those cushions on top of the six cans.

an old friend!

been smoking it for 30+ years, tried other , but always come back to Borkum Riff

Very nice flavor and small.

Excellent!!!!! Smooth Flavorful love it

I have smoked it since the 1960s flavor is great followed Original that I enjoy too please help me hold the price down I buy multiple 7oz cans great stuff.

Good

My absolute favorite

Last canister I received was stale/moldy. Usually very reliable.

My favorite it is great relaxing smoke , with great flavor. I have enjoyed Borkum for 40 years

All these products are worth the price. And very flavorful. Pipe is great! Thank you

Good service when item is in stock

Really nice aroma and flavor.

Got this for my Brother as a gift and now it has quickly become his favorite. Highly recommend.

My all time go-to blend.

I like it for the" hint of flavor"

Clean and secure taste smoke is always concise with a hint of whiskey.

Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey is awesome - but sometimes the packaging by Pipes and Cigars is lacking. 3 cans were crushed/opened in last order.

Been smoking this for many years. It is my favorite.Glad it is available now after a period when one could not find it any where!

I smoke outdoors only, subject to the weather, thus only about 4 to 5 months of the year. This is my first time trying Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey in the 47 years I have smoked pipes. Very light Bourbon flavor at first light. No alcohol like aspect to the flavor. Flavor changes or dissipates as it is smoked down through the bowl, which I feel is common with many tobaccos. I will add this to the many (over 25 tins or pouches at this time) enjoyable smokes in my current supply.

I have enjoyed smoking Borkum Riff whiskey tobacco for over 40 years. I have been extremely pleased with Pipes and Cigars as the choice to purchase this product.

Great all around, subtle bourbon note

Very high quality pipe tobacco known for may years Pipes& Cigars shipping with light speed

Enjoy the aroma!

Nice

My only tobacco ever. Love it

Have smoked this for over 45 years

A - 1 service every time.

were is my corn cob pipes i ordered?

Very good.

This continues to be my favorite tobacco. It is mild, yet flavorful. Ordering from Pipes & Tobacco is easy and shipping is quick.

Borkum Riff Bourbon is a cool smoking pipe tobacco, with flavorful hints of bourbon. Easy on the tongue with no bite, this is an enjoyable smoke anytime.

I'm making blends, this is awesome. Absolutely smooth. Love it. Will be getting more soon with many thanks

My "go to" pipe tobacco. I tried many others before Borkum Riff original Bourbon Whiskey, but it has now been my favorite for over 40 years.

Use to be my favorite years ago, times change.

Smooth

good

Good price and prompt delivery of my favorite tobacco!

I have smoked it for at least 30 years.

Not quite an all day blend but pleasing as a pipe after meals

Years ago I smoked a brand named VIP. They suddenly stopped making it. Brokum Riff was the best substitute l could find. I really enjoy the taste and smoothness of this tobacco.

Been smoking it for about 50 years .

Tobacco smoked very well

I've always liked the taste and aroma it puts off. Borkum pretty much always comes through with great quality.

Good tobacco. Ordering more right now. By the way, you do not need to send me the wine cards. I don't drink it. Thanks.

One of my favs

It is a smooth fragrant smoke.

great smoke pairs well while sipping a good bourbon

Consistent favorite blend.

Great service

I have been a pipe smoker for 46 years. This is simply the best smoothest tobacco I have ever tried.

Have smoker for years. Excellent tobacco.

Ive been smoking BRW for 50 plus yrs off and on., does that tell you anything?

Love the blend

Nice and fresh

good

Good tobacco : smooth , no bite, just what I was looking for.

not as flavorful as thought

Good...

Soothing aroma with an enriching taste. A very favorable blend to sample any time of the season.

Great tobacco ! Fair price, but the last two shipments from you had damage to the containers. Maybe you should pay more attention to the packing.

Great tobacco, smooth and tastes great. Been using it for years.

ontime andfresh

My favorite. I have smoked it for years.

My go to for a late night small bowl smoke with a small glass of port before bedtime.

Great price for a good blend.

As good as ever!

Great service

It taste good and does not burn my throat That’s the best thing about it. All the bodkin Riff Bourbon brands are great.

I've smoked Borkum Riff tobacco for years and I've never gotten tired of it. Occasionally I've tried other brands but have always come back.

Nice artisanal, smooth flavor. I have been smoking Borkum Riff Boubon Whiskey for 50 years... it is deffinately my favorite.

Been smoking it for years

enjoy a relaxing smike in this overstreaaws world. you deserve some of life"s more enjoyable pleasures. take advantage when you get thr chance

This pipe tobacco tastes great and smells great to others when I smoke it. Have received many compliments from bystanders.

Excellent

Been smoking it for decades and love it.

Great product. It was fresh and I received my package in a just a few days which was great. This tobacco is very hard to find in my area and it is the only one my husband likes so I was very happy to find it and get it so quickly. Thanks and I will be ordering again.

I just love this tobacco - been using it for around 10+ years -- great aroma and mild in the mouth. It is always too moist and so I let it dry some before I smoke it.

just fine

love it

good taste

Quick Delivery; Order Accurate

Since PR's infrastructure was washed out by the past several hurricanes, P&C has been the only supplier I've found who has not ever back ordered my favorite brand of tobacco. I have smoked BR Bourbon whiskey flavored tobacco for 54 years. Kudos to you & Thanks.

I'm new to pipe smoking, so my palate and tobacco choices have been limited. I started out with Captain Black sample packs and it has me hooked. I ventured out and tried Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey and I didn't like it. It flavor was rather harsh. I've tried it several times and I've just not taken a fancy to it. I'll put it away and come back to it months from now and see if my taste has changed.

I really enjoyed the price and the flavor of this blend. The aroma was very pleasant and it was not bitter....will be buying more

Sit back relax and enjoy with a latte or chia tea!! I decided to become a pipe smoker, and this was the first tobacco I have had, it last me a while now, still fresh and delicious I really like this.

i have enjoyed this brand for many years.

This is a decent smoke. Picked it up at a local shop. Firstly I’d recommend smoking this from a pipe with a smaller diameter bowl as it definitely has some bite (Probably due to the large amount of Virginia in the blend) burns hot even in my carey magic inch and I have a little trouble keeping it going as I usually do with Virginia’s. Puff slowly and be prepared for multiple relights. That being said I like the flavor of this tobacco which definitely has an very noticeable Virginia spice with a subtle whiskey flavor mostly noticeable when exhaling through the nose. The room note is great and even my wife thinks it smells wonderful. Also this tobacco came ready to smoke with zero drying necessary which is a huge plus when you are in a pinch

Prob one of my favorite pipe Tabacco. Will continue to buy it and pipe and Tabacco website is amazing. Thanks guys for the great product

Ok

An aromatic with a unique taste and aroma, generally over cased and may benefit from air drying, bought this to obtain the low priced associated pipe which is sturdy but with understandably poor grain but may be fun to rusticate and it is nicely stamped with the Borkum Riff name

A nice semi sweet flavor and a good aroma.

great

This is one of the best tobaccos on the market today. Mild, smooth, smoke that smells good without the bite.

Ok for those who want a non sweet taste. It's like smoking a cigarette in a pipe.

I like it !
