Borkum Riff bourbon whiskey
This is a good quality cut of tobacco with no harsh after bite and just a touch of bourbon whiskey flavor. I would recommend this to my fellow pipe smokers. I personally prefer cherry flavor tobacco but it is nice to have a change up in flavor from time to time.

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.

I've been smoking Borkum Riff
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.

I have been using bth
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.

One of my old time
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.

Smells like what my Grandpa smoked for decades.
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.

Additional review, great product..!!!
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...

Learning curve
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.

My Grandfather's Favorite.
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.

Give It A Second Chance
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.

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.

Not what I remember but still very good
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.

An old friend of mine smoked this 45 years ago.
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'd rather drink bourbon whiskey than smoke it.
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.

Borkom riff bourbon whiskey
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

Original Borkum Riff

Not bad in a pinch
I bought this locally when I fell behind on my normal mail order. It isn't half bad. Sweet Virginias with a VaPer-like snap, the bourbon adds a unique, pleasant flavor twist. Stays lit better if left to dry for a half hour or so. A bit rough for all day, but better in a pinch than most other widely available blends.

Burns well.
Cant say I'm a fan but I smoke a bowl upon occasion. This 7 ounce can will probably last about 20 years at this rate so lets see how it does when it ages. The bourbon kinda burns my nose a little bit

Amateur's review on Borkum Riff's Bourbon Whiskey
My review may reflect my novice tasting experience with tobaccos, however my knowledge of bourbons is not lacking. For whatever reason Borkum Riff's Bourbon Whiskey taste nothing as expected. No bourbon flavor with minor tongue bite. I did blend more black Cavendish with it and in my opinion enhanced my preferred taste and smile profile.

I like the pouch the tobacco comes in more than the smoke itself
I thought this was going to be a 4 star and had planned to submit that, but then my order of Sutliff aromatics arrived before this review and apparently soiled my opinion of the BR somewhat now that I can compare them. This pouch was not bad at all - flavor was fair, but the Sutliff is the clear winner in my opinion both on flavor and note. The BR pouches can take a beating and I saved the empty one to fill with the Sutliff and keep in the glove box of my car.

Like all pipe smokers (there
Like all pipe smokers (there are very few of us left) other smokers were always saying "try this". One day at a horse show some 40 yrs ago I ran into the PR guy for US Tobacco (then the importer of Borkum Riff). He gave me a can and I've been smoking Borkum Riff Bourbon ever since.

Why I buy Borkum Riff
"Verus amicus est alter idem" used to be the motto on the Borkum Riff packages when my father smoked it. I was a teen out of pot so I rolled it with cigarette paper and to this day, older than my father when he died, I roll Borkum riffers blended with a clean cigarette tobacco for that cigarette and scotch at the end of the day. "A true friend is another me."

My verdict is in after finishing a pouch.
An enjoyable, interesting smoke for a value price in my opinion, and my favorite in the Borkum Riff line. My pouch came with perfect humidity and stayed fresh, even in the trunk of my car. It was back there for about 2 weeks. Smokes to the bottom of the bowl most of the time and I haven't experienced much of a dottle with it. It kept it's aromatic touch almost to the end as well. I didn't find that true with their Cherry Liqueur for some reason. I keep a selection in the back of the car for those oh-so-necessary work breaks. This pouch was the first to go out of the current selection of 6 or so I keep in there.

Some Things Should Never Change
This is a good tobacco but not how I remember it when I started smoking pipes. I remember watching Sherlock Holmes smoking this mixture and it having more flavor and room notes that what it does not. Now not that the flavor is bad, it just fell short when I was lighting it and sipping it for about an hour. Not sure if the process has changed with the company but it is definitively not how I remember.

I was excited when I saw that Borkum Riff burbon whisky was back, this was the tobacco I had started on way back, the flavor, aroma, burn qualities, all we're there, Borkum Riff was the best. Unfortunately, something has happened between then and now.the burn quality is there but that's it, I was going to buy more when I finished what I had ordered but with the new Borkum Riff, the flavor and aroma are not there this new tobaccois not even a shadow of what it once was

Smoke it slow
I was close to giving it one star, and I'll explain why I gave it not one or two, but three stars. I'm being generous because it's not a bad blend per se, but I had a very bad experience and a decent experience. My review is based on the good experience out of the same bad pouch, after having let it age for two years. I think it was a two-star smoke but I think smoked very slowly it could be a three.

Not as Rich as I expected...
Upon opening the pouch I enjoyed the clean fresh whiskey aroma. I found my first 2 burns to be pleasantly light, but not very aromatic. In fact, after leaving the room for a while and then returning, I found the aroma more cigarette like than pipe tobacco. I will try again before I mix the balance of the pouch with something older...
5 out of 5
Mild, great taste.
I have smoked Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey for years and have found it to be mild without much bite. The best part, however, is the "after taste”, when finished smoking, that lasts for awhile. I’m sure each person’s tastes are different, however, I find Borkum Riff stimulates my taste buds perfectly.

BR WHISKEY
I really enjoy BR Whiskey, I have been the stuff for over 30 years. This blend has changed several times over the years, the current version is much like I remember many years ago. I like to give it some dry time and it should be smoked slow. Lately I have been mixing Petersons Irish Oak with BR Whiskey. Thanks too P+C for their great service.

Not my cup of tea nor shot of bourbon
As with the Cherry Liquor blend, I was not happy with this brand. I felt that it was dry out of the pouch, along with wanting in flavor and aroma. It seemed to get bitter about halfway through the bowl and tasted strong at first light. You may find this to be a favorite of yours. It did receive good reviews. I may have came across a bad pouch. However, with two different blends from the same company giving the same results......... This is just my opinion, and the only way you'll know is to try it.

Not my cup of tea...
I consider 3/5 stars to be good but nothing special - so this isn't a "bad review" by any means. This is hardly aromatic, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. The thing is, it's also pretty dry (at least my pouch is) and maybe I have been smoking it too fast but I get a "cheap cigar taste" in the background. Maybe it's actually good tobacco - I am not a cigar expert either... but there is something about this stuff that reminds me of a cheapo Cigar. I will never buy this again, but it quickly gave my meerschaum pipes some red color around the edges which I like.

Not my shot of whiskey.
I can't say I like this at all. I like bourbon, don't get me wrong. And I like pipe tobacco, as well. But I really can't get into this blend in any fashion. I just don't like the flavor. I might just be not drinking alcohol with this. I'll finish the pouch, but with reluctance.

Love This
This is my fave blend. I like Drew Estate, Sutliff Molto Dulce and McClelland's 221b but still like this way better.

Eh. I've had worse.
Classic smoke. Don't know what it has such a bad wrap. Packs and burns very nice due to cut. Smoke hot if you are a fast puffer. Room not is decent. It just has not taste.

Borkum Riff pipe yobacco
I used to smoke Borkum Riff "Whiskey". I couldn't find it in tobacco shops so I was pleasantly surprised to find it in "Pipes & Tobacco". The only thing I could find, though, was the "Bourbon Whiskey". Not quite as good as good but I'll take it. Thanks !

It was getting harder and harder to find my tobacco. P&C always has it and at the best price I've found anywhere.

Hands Down the Best Pipe Tobacco
I've been using Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey for well over twenty years now. I've always liked the taste and aroma, but what really sets it apart for me is that it is never too dry or too moist. For people just starting out, dry tobacco makes it easy to overheat the bowl and it will burn the back of your throat while moist tobacco is difficult to keep lit and will produce steam that burns your tongue.

Great Tobacco, Great Service
In writing this review I just realized that I have been smoking a pipe for some 50 years now. Although I've tried many brands, I've pretty much settled on Borkum Riff. I have always enjoyed the Bourbon mixture and now alternate between that and Special #8. I really appreciate the service offered by P&C. The catalog is excellent and with it I can order anything I need and have it delivered to my door in a couple of days. I currently have six Peterson pipes in my rotation. Borkum Riff and the Peterson's are a great combination.
Customer Testimonials
Bought a few pouches at a retailer that was discontinuing Borkum Riff. It was OK but had a bit of bite.
EB of Eden, NY
My go to smoke for a long time. Nice flavor but has a little bite.
EB of Meeker, CO
Sorry, can't agree with the positive reviews. Simply stated, it bites. Tried it in my estate La Scala briar, then a day later in my estate Nording. Still bites. Actually, by the finish it's not so bad, but by then maybe my nerve endings have just been sanded smooth. Threw out the pouch halfway through second bowl. And... she doesn't like the room note. Loser all around. I do like the Borkum Riff original, however. Nice start-to-finish for me, and her.

I JUST BOUGHT A POUCH OF BR BOURBON WHISKEY,NOT BAD AT ALL ,SMOOTH VERY LITTLE BIT,IM A BOURBON DRINKER SO IT GOES WELL TOGETHER,GIVE IT A TRY IT'S GOOD.
TM of QUAKERTOWN, PA
Thought I'd try a little BR Whiskey in my Missouri Meerschaum corn cob and let me tell you....Wow!!! Outstanding smoke with almost no tounge bite.
SM of Rogers, AR
My late father was a lifelong pipe smoker, and Borkum Riff's Bourbon Whiskey was his brand. When I took up pipe smoking as an alternative to cigarettes, his tobacco was readily available, and so it quickly became my brand as well. It's a potent, aromatic, delicious blend that will leave the smoker with a wonderful aftertaste after smoking. I cannot overstate how strongly I recommend this to both long-time smokers and folks who are just getting started pipe smoking.
AH of Louisa, VA
I was recommended Borkum Riff by the father of a good friend of mine. I recently branched out and tried their Bourbon Whiskey. It's got the right mixture of flavor. Its fuller than I am used to, I usually stick to the mild aromatics. But this is Great. If you are also a drinker, this compliments Makers Mark. Overall, i would recommend this blend.
