Borkum Riff Original Mixture
date on the pouch 2-19-13
Smoked three bowls in three different briars

In the pouch it smells of chocolate, cherry, and dried fruit. It wasn't very hard to light. The first few draws have the cocoa flavor mild but at the forefront with dried fruit in the background. Not far into the bowl the flavors start turning chemical and then completely dissipate. At least the last half, may be more, is a generic smoke, warm air flavor. Every now and then a little Virginia tang or Burley nutty taste will sneak in but disappear as quickly as it arrived. Surprised to say I never got bit by this but believe it could show it's teeth if abused. I've smoked a little of the Bourbon and the Cherry Liqueur flavored Borkum Riff. While neither one of those was impressive, the Original falls short of them. Thanks for the opportunity @Tobias Lutz . I have wondered about this one. Now I know.
