Had my second bowl of pirate kake today thanks to javajunkie and enjoyed it this will be my first review on a pipe tobacco so judge me gently
Smoked both in a mm country gentleman cob
Was dated 6/13, and seemed about right humidity wise so didn't bother to dry it out
Packed and lit easily though I had to rub it out a little as there were a few large inconsistent chunks in there, smoked very dry, no tongue bite, I think I either picked too large a bowl or should have only packed it 2/3 as I had a hard time keeping it going at the end
Flavor wise I really enjoy this, but I do enjoy most full flavored Latakia blends, I got a nice blast of spiciness/ Latakia those first few puffs with a little tingle on the nose on retrohale, then it seemed to calm down a bit giving a more rich and creamy flavor/fullness on the palate, I will certainly keep some of this one around, and suggest trying h&h Larry's blend if you find this one enjoyable
