Borkum Riff Black Cavendish Pipe Tobacco is an aromatic pipe tobacco blend presented in a convenient 42.5 g pouch. Made for adult pipe smokers who enjoy a smooth, mellow tobacco profile, this blend highlights the naturally soft and gently sweet character associated with Black Cavendish tobacco.
The blend offers a rich yet approachable smoking experience, with a rounded tobacco character and aromatic qualities that complement rather than overwhelm the flavour. Its smooth profile makes it a suitable choice for smokers looking for a refined Black Cavendish mixture without a dominant fruit, citrus, or heavily flavoured finish.
The pouch format keeps the tobacco convenient to carry and ready for packing into a pipe. Borkum Riff Black Cavendish belongs to the brand’s well-known family of aromatic pipe tobacco mixtures, with each blend offering its own distinct flavour while maintaining the recognisable Borkum Riff style.
Borkum Riff draws on more than 300 years of blending experience. Other aromatic blends in the range include Vanilla Cavendish, Honey & Orange, and Special Mixture No. 8.
Pouch of 42.5 g

The cherry flavour can be a bit extreme and there is potential for pretty bad tongue bite but I really enjoy this mixed 60/40 with Amphora original which really tones down the heavy cherry flavour with chocolate and spice.

BR Black Cavendish is an outstanding tobacco on its own. A full, rich flavour which stays the same throughout the smoke. It has a slight plum-prune undertone which never overwhelms but adds to the richness. It may not be for everyone, though . . . . BR tobaccos have a sturdy profile which is quite unique, hence only a **** rating, taking those folks into consideration.
For me, it’s one of my 4 or 5 favourite “go-to’s” It’s also a great mixer for those so inclined.

This is a nice blend of Black Cavendish and Virginia tobacco! The BC gives the plum/raisin flavour, while the VA gives a recognizable nuttiness that balances this out perfectly for regular pipe smokers. So good that we each smoked two bowls during our live stream on Stay Smokin’!
