Cornell & Diehl Pirate Kake Pipe Tobacco

And it is a nicely done cake. Once the smoking began, no flavor. Empty feeling with each puff. Others like it, too weak for me.

This blend is amazing as when you pop the tin it smells like setting around a camp fire. The kake rubs out perfectly and packs nicely. The spice is on point but not overwhelming. Trust me if you like camping and a little spice then go pirate kake.

Try it. You will not be disappointed. One of my personal favorites.

The other reviews describe it well. But you might be asking; when should I smoke it? Well, it really depends on where you are.

If you like Latakia, then this should satisfy you. Rich and Smokey with a creamy finish. One of my favorite new tobacco’s to try

Hearth and Home 10 to Midnight was out of stock, so I decided to give Pirate Kake a try. I am very glad I did. It is more expensive, by about $15-20 a pound, but worth it. If you have tried and liked 10 to Midnight, you will love Pirate Kake. I cannot imagine a more mellow Latakia dominated blend. Highly recommended. A hack I do with cake when loading the bowl is use a good ribbon cut as the first pinch. I use English Oriental very lightly packed. Then load intact chunks of cake and surround the chunks with the crumbles and powder. Works well.

This became my favorite pipe tobacco blend halfway through my first bowl. Musky Latakia and Turkish with some burley…it’s good. Burns well, I like to dry it a bit but it’s okay not, just a little more moisture in the bowl than I’d generally like. This is also the most dense cake I’ve come across. I usually cut it like I would a plug. It’s over 70% Latakia, so if you’re not into Latakia, this probably isn’t the blend for you.

Mild and fragrant, an exceptional tobacco. Lataika bomb. I expect to re-order this regularly.

This blend has a lot of charm. Well blended, the plug/kake smells delicious and rubs out well. The Latakia is good and the other tobaccos play well with it. Power level is about two ticks below medium so those Enthusiast who like a bit more power will need to enjoy this as a snack. I think the blend meets the goal of a fine tobacco that is easy for most to enjoy. Can be enjoyed all day Recommend for all Enthusiasts and most all newcomers looking to expand their horizons.
