Welcome Mike! Have not smoked any Borkum Riff in years. Might have to try it out ! I like the Stokkebye Nougat and Optimum and the French Vanilla.

Years ago, and I'm talking decades, BR was a ribbon cut that tended to burn too hot & fast for me. If they have changed to a flake it might be worth another try.
It used to be a UST product and they marketed it alongside DG. |

I feel old enough today. Don't make it decades.
Mike, I smoked BR for probably 25 years. Rum (Don't guess that's available today). The problem I had was SOOOOO many stems. Felt like I threw away a half a bag every time.
I feel a lot like Dr. B...Whisky was ribbon cut, burned hot, a bit like smoking Jack Daniels straight. My tongue has healed and now it's SWR and CH.
Welcome to the forum. I'm glad youre here....ted |

BR Whiskey was the first tobacco that I smoked. I remember it burning hot and the tongue was terrible. If it is different today I may try it again.
