More Details |
Cornell & Diehl Pirate Kake is a firmly pressed departure for the person who loves Latakia. Instead of the usual addition of Virginia to the Latakia and Oriental elements, Pirate Kake uses Burley to give it an intense amount of body and a robustly rich mouth feel. When we say that this is for the Latakia lover, we mean it, as C&D's Pirate Kake is made with 75% Cyprian Latakia. For the smokiest experience you can get, this is the one to try.
The first few times I smoked this blend, I thought it was pretty rough and uneven, so I put it aside. Months later and out of my preferred stash, I went back to it-- and was I surprised! It had evened out beautifully and allowed for a rich, wholly flavorful complexity to shine through! Terrific stuff if you've got some time to wait.
My favorite latakia blend! Rich and smoky with lots of Vitamin 'N'. Very smoky, very flavorful, very much a must buy for those of you looking for a blend with lots of latakia flavor.
Smelled good and smoky but when smoked it was uneventful. Very one dimensional and uninteresting. No complexity at all. Smoked in a cob.
Very awesome latakia lovers blend. Cool smoking and flavorful, roasted flavors with a slight sweet background note.
