About This Pipe Tobacco
For their Kajun Kake, the folks at Cornell & Diehl start with naturally sweet Red Virginias and add just the right touch of everyone's favorite Cajun spice, Louisiana Perique. They then press it into an old-fashioned crumble cake which deepens and marries the flavors.

Deep, complex, subtle, yet flavourful

t it is, you start to appreciate the depth and fruitiness and plumminess. It has such a pleasant, complex taste that I keep coming back for it. It really has become a favourite. But that's after leaving it for a year or two (after initial disappointment) and coming back to it. I'm finding that's what the heavy-perique blends require -- whether this one or Bayou Morning -- they need to be respected in their own right. Once you've spent time with them, and start to understand them, then they go from the bottom to top of the preference pile in the cellar.
Also, the room note is one of the best out there. Maybe not precisely when smoked, but the linger after the fact; spectacular for the home library/study....Read More

Disappointing. Low-quality perique.
January 25, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Kajun Kake 8oz
is from being a one-star. Nice presentation, beautiful cake. Loads, lights, and burns easily. Typical, prodigious perique smoke.
But it still doesn’t taste very smoky, and worse, only the mildest of typical perique spice is present, despite the high perique content. Many condiment perique applications in expensive blends have perique spice that comes through stronger. I doubt aging will help much here. Not so bad I won’t smoke it, but it’s hopelessly bland. Light smoky flavor, light spice, and the dominant flavor is of a burnt leather boot sole that’s been out in the rain....Read More

Dark, sweet, deep plummy flavor.

bath of plum or even prune like flavor in fact I think prune is a better word than plum it's got that concentrated flavour with a darkness. It is in no way sugary or cloying it is even keeled and masterfully crafted. This tobacco really deserves a more visible profile. It's rather wet but crumbles and flakes easily. it does fine in any pipe. Sipping is just as satisfying as deep drags.There's a spiciness that comes in that's not overbearing it's just right and it comes in on the top and back end of the smoke. The whole experience morphs from hot air to ripe, smoky orchard to premium cigar with a jammy twist.
Update: if feels like this is gonna be a really interesting deep cellar. I've tried cellaring everything deeply and been bitterly disappointed with certain blends that just don't run the distance like St James flake, Royal yacht, all disappointing. Each one relied on the flavored casing or just mediocre tobacco and failed over 7 or more years. Other blends have aged legendary like Peter stokkeby luxury Navy flake, Geometrie, and pretty much anything from McClelland. This, Kajun Kake feels like it's going to do very well. Thanks to whoever blended this....Read More

Quick Aged Review

ite good with smoothing the sharp edges of the Virginia; in the aged batch, the edge doesn't exist. An easy cadence develops the Perique much earlier, leaving the smoker with a smooth, figgy, musty feel, where consistent flashes of citrus color the overall experience. Primarily a Burley smoker....Read More
