I Love The Smell of Creosote and Campfires in the Morning
July 27, 2018

Product: Cornell & Diehl Pirate Kake 8oz
. 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

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.

tic strong and musty sweetness of Cyprian. The Turkish/orientals are dry and very floral. There’s a topping on this... caramel, prune... can’t place it, but there’s definitely a topping. Burley provides body, added smoothness and aids in the creamy mouth-feel. Irish Breakfast tea goes very well with this. Nicotine and body are mild, but the taste is medium/strong. Read Less

不得不说这是款好草。闻起来很浓的皮革汗液味道。干湿示意，基本不用醒草，但需要把大颗粒稍稍揉碎些。点然后就是直给的焦香味道，开盖时的那种皮革掺杂腋下汗味就淡了很多。奶油味托底，焦香味是主线，些许烤红薯皮的甜香。燃烧很好，温度也容易控制。每当夜深人静的时候独自一人来上一斗，仿佛回到了小时候，放学路边的烧饼摊。

are nicely toasted to a slightly bitter but still tasty treat. Each breath of the smoke leads me on. I suspect that how much one likes Latakia is in direct proportion to how much one will like the cake. The smoke from the Pirates Kake draws me in. And on. I don’t resist. The process is something like consulting the I Ching— each sip of smoke is a new slice of life, each new line builds a hexagram. Is it showing me a possible bitter ending and a more propitious way? In any event, it’s change, and change within change, moving from Burley to Latakia to Turkish— the wisdom of the Orientals, coupled with the taste of the ages. Life is a novel by PKD. A single step goes in all directions. Read Less

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

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

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. The flavor and aroma don't have that intoxicating factor that blends like Nightcap or Constellation have. It doesn't do anything that would keep me coming back to it. It does stay lit well. If you're looking for a Latakia blend that sings just one note and sticks to it, Pirate Kake may be right for you. Read Less

벌리 특유의 묵직함과 가죽 향이 별미로 느껴지며
심심하지 않게 오리엔탈도 시큼한 맛을 내뿜어주어 강렬한 인상을 줍니다

her into the others.
Palette: Smells of rich peat, ash, campfire and a little spice. Had a light vinegar note on top. Taste like how it smells. Has a waxy essence to it and if you enjoy Latakia this will be a go to blend. You may even liken this to a creosote and tar aroma. Barely any sweetness in the blend, and if you do find it, it doesn't stay. With the majority of this being Latakia, you should know what to expect.
Performance: A very cool burning blend. Absolutely no indication of bite even when puffing vigorously. Very creamy, smooth in the mouth and leaves a nice coating for you to enjoy for an hour. Leaves more than average moisture and requires a few relights and smokes at a less than medium burn rate. One dimensional taste. I didn't find this blend to change much in the bowl. Mild nicotine. Not an all day smoke,. Maybe once a week.
Conclusion: A very interesting and heavy blend. You either love Latakia or you seldom partake in it. I fall in between. I enjoy a good Balkan or English blend, but not this much Latakia. I bought this because I found a 6 year old tin at a local B&M. I enjoyed the tobacco for what it's worth, but felt completely satiated for a while. A very straight and narrow taste profile with hardly any change. I can see why some like this alot, and some who would never smoke it more than an initial bowl. I don't think I will be buying another tin, but it was a good experience. Read Less

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

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.
