Outstanding
April 22, 2018
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.
Primo Stuff!

For a cigar smoker I think latakia is the way to go - Its a stronger flavor and extremely relaxing, that virginia stuff does not compare!

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.
闻起来和抽起来不太一样
November 18, 2022
Product: Cornell & Diehl Pirate Kake 16oz
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。

在我的概念里每款草都有它存在的意义,可能是我们自己抽不明白,直到我遇上了它。燃烧不错,斗温高,烟气烫所以咬舌,一款拉草烟气能这么烫也是少有的。再说说味道,就拉草的典型烟熏味和淡的只能靠意淫的奶味也是毫无特色可言,别说抽了还想来一斗,是放瓶子里隔段时间看到了想起了抽一次后悔一次,我都开始怪自己好了伤疤忘了疼,最后只能扔掉

라타키아 함유량이 타 연초보다 높아 굉장히 기름지게 느껴지지만 불을 붙였을 때는 라타키아가 엄청 진하게 느껴지지 않는다 벌리 와 오리엔탈의 밸런스가 재밌습니다 벌리 특유의 묵직함과 가죽 향이 별미로 느껴지며 심심하지 않게 오리엔탈도 시큼한 맛을 내뿜어주어 강렬한 인상을 줍니다 개인적으로 버지니아 까지 추가되었더라면 좀 마일드 해져 피우기 쉽지 않았을까 생각이 듭니다
