I received a 7 oz. tin of this a few days ago and right away loaded up a Nording. Out of the tin the moisture level was just right. It's called a kake but looks more like broken flakes and breaks up with ease. WOW, what a winner. I've since ordered a few more 7 oz. tins and will be transferring to Mason jars for the cellar.
Nutty sweetness/goodness from the Burley tobaccos with a faint hint of anise/coca in the background. Smoking this has put all other blends on hold for awhile. If you like Burley blends you owe it to yourself not to miss out on this. Give it a try. Thanks Russ!!
Description:
Classic Burley Kake is a new blend that pays homage to old-time Burley flakes and cakes. Using Tennessee and Kentucky Burleys, ranging from lighter white to darker mahogany, and a bit of matured red Virginia, this sliced cake tobacco is a traditional American-style blend. We start with four different types of Burley, the aforementioned Tennessee and Kentucky, plus two different premium white Burleys. Then we add a red Virginia for a maple-like sweetness. Then we use all-natural flavors- cocoa, rum and anise and steam the tobaccos with the flavorings and firmly press and slice it. The aroma is mellow and pleasant, and the taste is lightly sweet with a large volume of smoke. Hearken back to a simpler time when the sight of a pipe in someone's mouth while walking down the street was common, and the scent of pipe tobacco was everywhere.
