Pesse Canoe Latakia 20 Broken Flake Pipe Tobacco combines 20% Turkish Latakia with Virginia and Oriental tobaccos, offering a clearly defined Latakia proportion in a three component blend.
Virginia and Oriental leaf make up the remainder of the mixture. The stated composition helps distinguish this selection from blends with a higher proportion of Latakia.
The broken flake format presents the tobacco in partially separated flake pieces rather than loose ribbons. This cut provides an alternative for smokers who prefer flake style tobacco preparation.
Pesse Canoe Latakia 20 Broken Flake Pipe Tobacco comes in a 50 g pouch. Its name identifies both the Turkish Latakia percentage and the cut, making the blend straightforward to select for your rotation.

One of my top five tobaccos! I kept hearing about this on beyond the briar podcast and I had to try it. I’ve just received this and I’ve had two bowls. First time I’ve ever used the fold and stuff. The pipe I used is a pipe I use for English. It usually lasts for about 45 minutes to an hour. This lasted for a little over two hours. First you open up the bag and the aroma fills the room. The description fig and stew fruit really fits this. But the super pleasant way. That bag note will be what you taste for the first half. Extremely pleasant. But by the end, you start to wonder if this is a one trick pony. Then the topping burns off and you left with a very nice Latakia, Oriental experience. Burns down to a fine white ash. I did find I had to do quite a few lights. If you have time for the experience is wonderful. The two drawbacks. The topping is pretty heavy, so I’m wondering if I’m going to have to just use this pipe just for it. Which is OK because I plan on buying a lot of this stuff. The second is I really had to clean my pipe when I was done. Now I also have the original. And I can’t wait to try it. If it’s as good as this, both of these will be in my rotation.
