I Love The Smell of Creosote and Campfires in the Morning
July 27, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Pirate Kake 8oz
I smoked a one ounce block of Pirate Kake in shot order now, in a variety of pipes. I am a Latakia lover. English blends are my favorite treat. It's my humble opinion that C&D has the absolute highest quality widely available Latakia on the market... Read More
. It is wonderfully and potently fragrant, it's smooth and rarely bites, and it is easy to acquire. I love and appreciate the other varieties of Latakia in the market, but nothing can beat a good GL Pease or C&D English in pure delightful flavor (except for Plum Pudding maybe). Forgive my lengthy prelude. Pirate Kake is indeed jam packed with this delightful Latakia, and it's apparent when you rub out some of this lovely cake. Some may be surprised to see a healthy portion of Brown Burley and Turkish, but don't be fooled because Pirate Kake is a Latakia powerhouse. The primary notable tin note and flavors are or course, Latakia! The Burley and Turkish help to smooth out the smoke and add faint delicious undertones, but the Latakia is supremely dominant throughout the smoke, and never falters. The Creosote flavor is there, with a slight nutty undertone on occasion. In my opinion there is no sweetness in this blend but I don't mind. I intend to smoke half of my stockpile fresh, but I'm also looking forward to how PK will taste with a little age, and the Latakia softened a little. If you're looking for a delicious lat bomb then PK is your blend, but if you're looking for a lat bomb with a stronger Turkish presence I highly recommend Star of the East Flake. I foresee lots of Pirate Kake and Star of the East Flake in my pipe smoking future. Both are pure Latakia heaven when you are positively craving it. I'm also starting to appreciate exactly how smooth Pirate Kake is relative to how much Latakia it contains. It's pretty impressive. Read Less
Outstanding

Product: Cornell & Diehl Pirate Kake 2oz
Wow, this is heavy in Latakia. Rather than overwhelm you it works really well. It burns well and forms a nice ash. It's not harsh, there's a certain smokiness which has it's edged rounded by a creamy finish. This is an exceptional tobacco.
Almost perfect!

My new favorite.
Been a pipe smoker for over 40 years and Pirate Kake is some of the best ever. Smoked in a new Missouri corncob to understand better the flavors and subtleties. Will buy more and experiment to see what aging does.

As it happens, latakia on its own is quite mild. Might not have the best flavour in the world by itself, but it is a very cool burning leaf. I'm then not particularly surprised that this cake burns nice and cool. I AM somewhat surprised at this ca... Read More
ke's mild, lovely flavour.. It's still a strong smoke, it's just got a fairly mild flavor. Like Guinness Draught, say. Not much sticks out: Creosote.. Gunpowder, leather, peat. These kind of flavours, borne of latakia singly. The turkish offers nice counterpoint, but no standard campfire, woody, earthy et al aromas to be had on this trip. Still, it's a pretty impressive cake and it pairs best with a cup of two day old black coffee (which I'm also fond of), or a guinness. This is not a complex smoke. Still I find it a smoother ride than say Star of the East or Pease's Gaslight.. Read Less

Smoky Smoking Smoke

Product: Cornell & Diehl Pirate Kake 2oz
I’ll taste Latakia for awhile after smoking this, but that’s not to say it’s an unpleasant smoke. The burley and orientals are lost in the sea of Latakia, but I suppose they temper that robust smoke to remind you that you aren’t smoking a bowl of str... Read More
aight Latakia. I love the campfire smokiness of English blends but Pirate Kake is nearly too heavy with it and too narrowly focused. It’s almost a single note experience. I’ll stick to Mountain Camp and Star of the East. Read Less
Pirate Kake
July 02, 2019

The best latakia tobacco ever. It's the taste of darkness. Basaltic, spicy, dark chocolate, medium nicotine. This is a definite tobacco. I'll order the third tin soon.

Don't get me wrong, this a good tobacco, but I don't understand all the fuss. As a lover of Latakia, I had to give this a try with all the positive reviews and the high Latakia content. It does have a lot of Latakia but the addition of the Burley g... Read More
ives it a bit of a bite that's not exactly my cup of tea. I like Burley tobaccos as well, I just don't think this blend uses it well. Perfect moisture content out of the tin for breaking a piece off the cake and stuffing. I prefer to not rub this one out or it will burn too fast on you. Tastes great up front, but once you get past the half way point of the bowl the flavor changes and not for the better. I wish there was a more consistent taste throughout on this one. Read Less

ogether in this blend. I find it to have a very rich, flavorful smokey, pleasantly toasty, note. I taste at least three different alternate flavor notes as different sized chunks of tobacco burn. The Krumble Kake cut adds tremendously to this blend. It requires one to slow down and enjoy the ritual and preparation of a great pipe smoke. 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. Most other cuts wouldn't work with this much Latakia. I recommend a small bowl with a longish stem for best smoke. Sip, don't puff hard! It lites well and stays lit right down to the end of the bowl. For me, this is my favorite Lat. bomb! Not an everyday smoke, but a great cold weather pleasure, to mix up the rotation. Read Less

December 17, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Pirate Kake 2oz

This tobacco is one of my favourites. If you love Latakia, give it a shot. The crumble kake really helps the flavor profile and to keep the moisture higher so it doesn't dry out. I don't even jar this stuff, just keep it in the container. It's not so... Read More
much of that "campfire" Latakia taste as it is that mossy, damp, woody, nature-like taste. Which is exactly the Latakia taste I look for.
It is somewhat similar to Ten Russians, but there definitely is a difference between the two blends and Pirate Kake is much, much better.
Some people have talked about tongue bite, but I have not experienced this. I assume because it is in a crumble kake that the moisture content can initially be high, so maybe dry it a little before smoking to avoid steam/tongue bite.
Enjoy! Read Less

would be lovely with just a little more Orientals in the mix; say, 50% Latakia with the deficit filled with Turkish leaf. Pirate Kake is definitely a "Lat. Bomb".

lack of balance; I wanted as much Latakia as possible. The cake itself has that delicious campfire aroma to it, but it doesn't seem to come out as much in the bowl.
