Cornell & Diehl’s Pirate Kake

Cornell & Diehl’s Pirate Kake is a distinctive English-style pipe tobacco blend renowned for its bold, Latakia-forward profile. Introduced as part of their Sea Scoundrels series, it has garnered attention among enthusiasts, particularly those who appreciate robust, smoky tobaccos.

🏴‍☠️ Blend Composition

Pirate Kake is composed of approximately 75% Cyprian Latakia, with the remaining 25% consisting of Turkish and Burley tobaccos. This high proportion of Latakia imparts a rich, smoky flavor reminiscent of a campfire or barbecue.

🔥 Flavor Profile

The blend offers a full-bodied taste with earthy, woody, and incense-like notes, complemented by a mildly sweet and savory undertone. The Turkish component adds a floral and slightly spicy character, while the Burley provides a nutty and toasty background. Despite the dominant Latakia, the blend maintains a smoothness that prevents it from becoming overwhelming.

Pirate Kake is presented in a crumble cake form, allowing smokers to rub out the desired amount for packing. This format aids in slow, even burning. The blend burns cleanly and coolly, leaving little moisture in the bowl and requiring minimal relights. It delivers a consistent flavor profile throughout the smoking session, with a pleasant, lingering aftertaste.
