I'd love to try these, and would be happy to arrange a group purchase if a tobacconist, in Turkey perhaps, would be willing to ship to the United States.
Pesse Canoe?
- Thread starter bullet08
- Start date
I would have posted the link in my first posting, if it was a sort of online store.
Unfortunately, it's not: my order is sent to someone who's packing a shipment of other goods for me, he'll buy the tobacco in person from the producer. In Turkey, those blends aren't sold under the Pesse Canoe branding, they're marketed there as TPT-50 and YD, but those are exactly the same blends that are sold in Japan, China, Malaysia, Indonesia and Russia as Pesse Canoe.
Given that the blends are sold in China, maybe there's some sence to search in Chinese tobacco stores? Chinese sellers are known for their low shipping rates.
And here is the recipe for the original Yayladag (the Latakia flake) blend, which the tobaccorewievers raved about:

Seems to be consistent with the Pesse Canoe descriptions, except that PC has two versions with different fire-cured (Latakia) content.
Yayladag Pipe Tobacco (blend and recipe)
This is the most wanted commercial pipe tobacco in Turkey and generally can not be found consistently in markets. Manufacturer may have some problems about distribution. This blend contains Turkish tobaccos and a fire-cured tobacco (strain unknown). Blend contains, Strain ----------%...

Thank you, Cersono, that’s great information!
Well, the tobacco is here, Oriental Broken Flake and Latakia 40 Broken Flake, a 50g pouch of each. Have smoked them both.
After I've smoked enough bowls to share the experience, I'll post my reviews here and on tobaccoreviews (where I've already submitted both blends to the database).
Just two short preliminary bits:
- if you're thinking of spending a fortune for acquiring some Pesse Canoe from another end of the globe, don't.
- If you're choosing between the Oriental and Latakia blends, choose Latakia.

Picked up the 20, 40 and Oriental blend yesterday in Tokyo looking forward to smoking them when I get back to the states later today.
Will report in with some reviews.

They have just became available in Spain. I am curious about the Latakia ones. I'll try to find some and will let you know about my impressions.
I smoked the Oriental Flake last night and it was heavenly, it does have a very subtle fruit topping though but plays well with the tobaccos and doesn't overpower. Tonight I'll try the 20 I think.
The flakes are pretty thick cut kind of reminds me of SG flakes in terms of consistency, maybe even slightly thicker. They rub out easy.
The tins are poorly sealed though, you can just pop the tops no problem after removing the plastic seal. Was worried they would be super dried out but the moisture content was good after rubbing out.

I just lit a pipe with Oriental Flake on it and came to look for information on it. I'm not much into orientals, but I find it nice.
All the tins in my usual tobacco shop were sold in a matter of days (I was lucky to get samples from a friend), but my DM's are always open to tobacco trading if anyone is still interested and they become available again.
EDIT: I'm halfway through the pipe and it's very good. I might be more into orientals than I previously thought...

That Oriental Flake sounds great, according to Estervals with a fig and raisin topping, just might call it a OrPer.
On the list for next order!

It is my everyday tobacco. İ smoke it even in summertime . İt is a different experience but i love it.
By the way, I have 100% turkish latakia in my own stash (my own DİY beccy) . The smoke of it is the densest one among the other tobaccos i experienced upto now. İt burns very well. Consistent and burns at low temp. İt is a powerful tobacco. Most probably they blend it with other tobaccos to balance the dominance of turkish latakia in pesse canoe.
PS. The tobaccos in this blend grow on a very active fault zone in anatolia. Most probably, for that reason, it has a unique natural earthy/fruity aromas.
my suggestion: just try and decide yourself if you are looking for a different dense smoke experience. .
