Borkum Riff Pipe Tobacco

Manufactured in Denmark, Borkum Riff is another excellent tobacco from Swedish Match. It is named after the lightship (ship with a lighthouse on) which sailed the often treacherous seas around the town of Borkum, guiding them to the Ems River and Dollart Bay. Visitors to the town can now step aboard the lightship to uncover its rich history at sea.

Borkum Riff continues to celebrate the fascinating maritime history to this day, with the ship that sailed the seas featuring as part of their brand logo on every packet of pipe tobacco sold.

The History of Borkum Riff Pipe Tobacco

From its humble beginnings in the 60s, Borkum Riff is now sold globally, with distinct new flavours added over the years. Though it has popularity across the world, it’s a firm favourite with pipe smokers in the US, and it’s easy to understand why.
