Krumble Kakes

[oarvanderahxenoeln]

Krumble Kakes for me are the perfect way to begin the ceremony. Just wondering if you guys could let me know the baccys you've tried that are Krumble Kakes. I've got the Captain Earle's and Pirate Kake.

H&H Anniversary Kake is dynamite!

My only beef with krumble kakes is that I get a good eighth- to a quarter-ounce of dust left in the bottom of a tin and can't figure out how to crumble it so that doesn't happen.
I hate to think I lose a pipe's worth of tobacco with every tin.
(Yes, I'm cheap.)

I'm pretty high on Cornell and Diehl's Kajun Kake.

Penzance is,of course, a crumble cake. C&D's Briar Fox is another.

I liked the Anniversary Kake quite a bit. But not a choice I make often it a special thing I reach for when I need to "cleanse the palette".

 

[mikemacrdlnds]

H&H Classic Burley Kake is great.

Penzance....ummmmmm goood. Guess I need to sample some other Kakes too.

If you like latakia, this is good:
SPC Plum Pudding

H&H's Ten to Midnight, Bow Legged Bear, Briar Fox, both Longevitys and many of the Hermits are all favorite KKs. They are different than plugs, coins, flakes, ropes and twists in preparation. As for the dust, I just use that on the next tin as tinder on top to facilitate the lighting.

Thanks for the education. I've been thinking of SPC Plum Pudding. I haven't tried any Hearth & Home's and have a few on the list to try. They seem a quality tobacco from reading here. Nice to learn there's a good mix of kakes out there. I do enjoy the heavy englishers, but am a rookie and want to learn about others.

drift away boys

Hermit Tobacco Works........Captain Earl's NIGHTWATCH.......really nice.

Pirate Kake for a lat bomb is awesome stuff!

 

[jbbaldwin]

I never have that much, but what I do is pack the tobacco in the bowl, tilt the tin and put a pinch or two of the "dust" on top of the tobacco. Makes lighting the bowl a bit easier and the "dust" is gone by the time I get to the bottom of the tin.

Thanks!

For Lat-Bombs, Ten Russians has yet to be beat. I haven't tried everything under the sun, but it is by far the stinkiest (a good Latakia stink, that is) one I've had. It also packs a pretty decent sized Nicotine wallop.

would define Kajun Kake as a VaPer?

 

[doctorthoss]

Kajun Kake is definitely a Va/Per, and a darn good one at that.
