Upon opening the tin, the smokiness is apparent right off of the bat. This is a lat lover's dream. Heavy smoke. Works well. My Favorite Latakia forward blend, not for the smoker who only likes a touch of latakia, it has enough Burley and Virginias to keep it interesting, but the Latakia will take over. The only one I am confident in saying I can taste is the burley. I enjoy the honey like notes with light puffing.

A brownie of cyprian latakia - 70% (!) I am not tasting the complimenting Oriental flavors, as I do in Penzance. I also consider in the same level of quality as classics: 965, Dunhill Standard Mixture ad Presbyterian. There's no finesse nor subtlety here.

Updated 11/2/11- Well after a few months to breath and a different pipe ( if that is what one calls an Ozark Cherry Wood, original review was with a cob ), this blend is complex, without heat, creamy , cheezy and a keeper. On a side note I smoked my first bowl in the cabin an hour before my wife got home and I'm sleeping in the doghouse tonight. I took the advice from one of the other commenters on this page and decided to spruce it up with some rum. I legit felt like a pirate after I opened the tin - imagined sailing the high seas pillaging a town with my trusty briar packed with this fragrant english beauty. Once I broke off a chunk, rubbed it out and let it sit a day or two; boy does it have a great spicey hearth fire scent! The orientals are drowned by the Latakia and the burley, apart from mitigating the burnt cork taste of pure Latakia, does little. Delicious and not overbearing although it is heavier than most other blends, and it should be, because thats w hat it was blended to be. It does have a slight spiciness to it, but it's missing the punchiness of Ten Russians, the depth of Bill Baileys Balkan, and the spicy sweet subtleties of Plum Pudding. All in all, a different and unique pipe smoking experience; it will not be in the regular rotation, and I would not seek out again. It's incense like. I fear that I packed the top third too tightly.

It's almost as if the smoke is too heavy to be moved by the imperceptible drafts in a house that will carry most smoke away. In my opinion, Pirate Kake is missing the added character, or that little bit of something extra that's needed to elevate it to the status of other top-shelf blends in its class. Immediately I enjoyed it, Latakia amount is high, and tastes excellent. However, when the mood strikes, Pirate Kake may just hit the spot. I am a fan of Latakia and do not like a lot of spice.
