I'm pretty sure I mispronounce many of the pipe related things wrong. I also was thinking the other day, that some of these terms, I've never said out loud. Like Latakia, perique, etc. But it's not wrong if there's no one to hear you say it. 
Radeechee and Saseenee, correct, at least in the pipe club circles I've been in.
Not only do I mispronounce almost every pipe word but I can’t spell most of them.
Luckily for me my pipes don’t talk back very much or read my comments.
They’d definitely shame me.
But they don’t, because they can’t.

EX RA-di-keh is how the Romans woulda said it. So, if it's Latin that is correct.
If it's Italian, then EX RA-dee-cheh. Please fully pronounce the last E and make it sound like the e in bed, and never like the e in be.

I have always said Lat-a-KEE-a, but I think the correct way may be La-TAC-ia.
Ser Jacopo I've been told is something like Sare YACK-o-po.
It's easy to get pronunciations wrong since so much pipe smoking is done solo. You need to hang around a lot of pipe smokers, and remain skeptical about people with authoritative answers. Guys love to be correct even if they're not.

I only think or write those words, so pronunciation is not an issue.
I'm much more concerned with Peugeot and Renault, not to mention the infamous Dacia, which noone seems to be able to pinpoint.

I think it’s been mispronounced so much that it’s become proper. You know, like when people misuse a word so often “they” just throw in the towel and make it official. Can’t fix stupid.
Renault is RE NO, the e like the e in bed.
Peugeot is Po Yot.
French is the most difficult to pronounce of the Romance languages.
Latinos manage with relative ease between Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, because the vowels have the same sound, but French is hell itself.
