Tin date is 4-24-15. Components are Latakia (75%), Turkish, and Burley.
This is a long burning tobacco. Crumble cake. I haven't needed to dry it. I retrohale through the nose a lot, and it is a bit sharp that way, but not so in the mouth. I've been smoking this in comparison to C&D Byzantium (Latakia, Orientals, and Perique - called a Balkan blend) and the Pirate Kake is more flavorful. This is now, along with Dunhill Nightcap, a favorite blend. At 75% Latakia, this sounds like a heavy smoke, but it seems mild to me. It has the bottom flavor of Latakia, but the Turkish and Burley add a mid-level taste. I'm smoking it in a Savenelli 611 KS Bent Dublin.
