TOBACCO OF THE MONTH FROM THE SIR TEN-BENSON PIPE TOBACCO HALL OF FAME

APRIL 2007:

SWEDISH MATCH’S ‘BORKUM RIFF – Whiskey Bourbon’

The Borkum Riff’s master blenders have done it again!  With their long history of using only the highest quality pipe tobacco, and traditional recipes and blending - they have produced a pipe tobacco with more attitude than Hitler in his prime!  And with more character than Stalin, and boy, wasn’t he a ‘character!’  With a rich single malt whiskey flavour incorporating blends of dark and golden Virginia strains, this splendid smoke leaves delightful pipe and room notes of pure class and selective breeding.  Simply savour and enjoy!

Only selected bright, aromatic, prime Virginia leaf is incorporated into this delightful blend.  This provides a rich yet cool smoking ‘Burley’ tobacco experience.  The exquisite taste of this blend enriches and enhances the 8yr old Kentucky Bourbon’s complex flavour.  A must for any serious pipe smoker!  Be warned though, this pipe tobacco is not for the faint hearted!  It packs a punch!
