Pirate Kake is one of my favorite smokes. I buy it buy the pound, and must have about 25lbs. of it cellared away. It's 70% Latakia on a Black Cavendish Burley base, with a heavy Oriental components. It has no Virginia in it, which makes it a bit of an oddball to classify. I guess you could call it a Latakia Burley blend. It's an exquisite smoke, resinous, pine needle incense like smoke. Reminds me a bit of a ramped up Penzance. PK comes as a pressed Kake, and crumbles out easily. Very reasonable price per pound. Also check out Engine 99 which has a non pressed PK component.
