It is not the smoothest and certainly not the roughest but it is full of flavor and delicious in my opinion. Without question, the different sized chunks of tobacco, with different blends of leaf, is at the root of the many different sub-flavors that manifest during the bowl. I'm upping this to 4 stars and it's made it into my favourites as well. Burns even and smooth giving a flavorful and creamy smoke all the way through.

I love how C & D presses the mixture into bite-sized chunks almost good enough to eat. Smells like fine, sweet Latakia. The Virginia's and and Burley provide a good base and can be tasted behind the Latakia, and it is a great flavor. argh! Worth a try if you love the dark stuff, but be careful with it - it can knock you back. Very consistent flavor that was much to my taste of this very uniquely wonderful blend that really is for those looking for something different. Is it a Lat-heavy blend that explodes your palate in such a way as to make any and all future Latakia blends unpalatable?

Tiene un sabor profundo, muy terroso, ahumado, pero nada agresivo a no ser que le des mucha candela. Yeah, I know that I am supposed to set out a bowl and let it dry overnight, butmy "compromise" was to only pack the loose crumbles that were in the bag. I cannot imagine a more mellow Latakia dominated blend. The tin I bought had perfect moisture and didn't need to let it sit out prior to loading up a bowl. I never really caught the Burley, but that is no big surprise, considering the general nature of Burley. It rubs out easily and packs with ease too. Description. Awesome stuff. It is not a Latakia bomb; Orientals plays a co-leader role. This is where the hassle becomes worthwhile. I find the blend very relaxing and I am still working through the sample ounce I purchased. I dont think she even noticed and believe me she will let me know when she notices. While I did enjoy this with a good jolt of black rum on the side at a party, I'm not sure it's a daily kind of smoke. Loading was easy since this crumbled in to small pieces. You'll have to brush the taste out of your mouth. The tobacco is a very nice krumble kake, with a very smoky and somehow musty or vinegar smell. I was hoping for some spicy flavor to counterbalance so much Latakia, but alas 'twas not to be found. It strikes me that this is a good blend to build off of and I'll report back when I do but for now it's just lacks the depth to be interesting. Preparing this one for smoking is a chore. I love Lat. Will buy more and experiment to see what aging does. Lighting up the bowl I was greeted by smoke rolling from the bowl and a rich, heavy, sweet smoke that I found very pleasing and that dominated this smoke.

If you want to get your wife out of the hose but she refuses, light up a bowl of Pirate Kake. Pure pirate gold! The overwhelming sensory overload of so much latakia might make some believe that there is "strength" in this mixture. With the benefit of hindsight, I suspect that memory had concentrated what had probably been the modest Latakia content of the Balkan I was trying to rediscover simply because it was the most sharply distinguishable component of the mixture and such a novelty when I first started smoking Balkans. In my opinion it is inconceivable a mixture with 75% of Latakia because it is impossible to detect any other taste. That being said for me even staying within the same company I think you get much more nuance and flavor while remaining a great smoke from Stimulus Package or Da Vinci maybe even Mississippi Mud if youd like black Cavendish. I love it! Ahoy! Also a great mixer- See my C&D review of Jamaican Rum. Decrease Quantity of Cornell & Diehl Pirate Kake Increase Quantity of Cornell & Diehl Pirate Kake. Nicotine content is low.

Packing and Lighting: It can be time consuming to crumble, but you must, or this will not light well. The room note to me is exquisite! When Im in the mood for a massive Lat hit, I reach for this one! I don't want to ever do with out this blend. This is definitely a blend that calls out for a small bowled pipe and gentle smoking. It is what it is and I enjoy it every time I choose it. I can see why some like this alot, and some who would never smoke it more than an initial bowl. I smoke this one outdoors only as it is most offensive to pretty much everyone. I get a creamy taste unlike any other tobacco I have yet tried. The wife will hate it but I'm too old to care. It is sort of goldilocks for me right out of the tin in terms of dry time. Blackbeard at his best!!!!! I had forgotten how nice that first blast of latakia is when it's lit. C&D managed to hit a very nice flavor note! The closest an honest gentleman can get to smoking straight Latakia. This blend is GREAT! Outstanding aroma, flavor and smoke. I don't know how long it will take me to smoke all this, but since I like to do a Latakia mainline once in a while just for a change, I will not mind having this in my cellar. Brand: Cornell & Diehl Series: Sea Scoundrels Blended By: Cornell & Diehl Model: Pirate Kake Tobacco Type: Burley, Latakia & Oriental I suppose the nicotine kick comes from the burley.

Opening the tin, I receive a lovely aroma of Latakia and that's about it and it is plenty. This is actually a very well rounded blend. I've readjusted the ratings and highly recommend this blend very much. Another draw on the pipe and the taste changes to that of a herbaceous confection and a middle filled with tuberous roots that are nicely toasted to a slightly bitter but still tasty treat. Heavy in each puff but always controlled by the Burley and Orientals, the Latakia seemed almost like a mild perfume that the other two were wearing. MY GOSH!

I usually prefer my latakia in more moderated dosages, but when I'm in the mood for a good strong latakia, this is the one I fire up. I just find it has that lovely latakia s pice without burning me out. I wouldn't even argue with reviewer,"Ecdycis 07/29/2012" on his "Menthol sensation", I know, it doesn't sound good but it's different and wonderful. Great stuff, IF you like latakia dominated blends.

The best way I can put this blend, is that if it were a movie, it would be about latakia, there would be a preview before the movie starring oriental, and the burley and virginias would be listed in the credits as gaffers or extras. Still very good. Not an all day smoke, but it is repeatable. A nice Latakia bomb. It is more expensive, by about $15-20 a pound, but worth it. It was very nice from start to finish.

I really do not smoke this straight, but I do enjoy adding this to many of the blends I enjoy that need an extra kick of Latakia. Pirate Kake delivers a whopping dollop of 75% Latakia in the blend. In summary, this seems to be a Penzance lite. Being mostly interested in English blends this really satisfied my love of latakia. Le acompaa el Burley y dicen que Orientales, que no puedo apreciar, excepto en el carcter de sta labor. It rubs out easy but it is messy. And like other heavy latakia blends, this one tends to make me thirsty. and ?This is the blend for the Latakia lover.?

This blend will definitely make you question what you like to smoke and thats a great thing. I love this tin note being so leathery woody and sour. It is somewhat similar to Ten Russians, but there definitely is a difference between the two blends and Pirate Kake is much, much better. tastes like salty burnt brownies, generous latakia, very robust and flavorful, a tad too spicy though and noticeable tongue bite, breaks up very easy still I like it stays lit rite out of the tin little strong for me
