[QUOTE="Vito, post: 12390, member: 13"] JP: On its face, Blend D.D bears little resemblance to London Dock...certainly not in its pouch/jar/tin aroma. In fact, it took me a while to nail what was familiar about Blend D.D. It's so different from London Dock in almost every immediately obvious respect that it was a flat-out surprise to find that similarity emerging briefly at about the second 1/4-bowl. But there it was. As for Borkum Riff...well, you know that matters of taste can be very peculiar. Normally, I advise folks who find a tobacco not to their liking to give it a second or even third chance, if not immediately, then somewhere down the road. They might be surprised to find that their tastes have changed, or that they just judged too quickly without giving the weed a chance to show its virtues. I can list numerous tobaccos that initially didn't appeal to me, but revealed some redeeming virtues on closer examination, later. However, where Borkum Riff is concerned, I can easily understand how someone might be put off. I smoked it once ~38 years ago, and I can still recall the experience vividly; reverse peristalsis was involved. It's not an experience I'm inclined to repeat. Of course, that's still purely a matter of taste. I don't disparage anyone else who enjoys it, but it's just not for me. [/QUOTE]
