Mix half Pirate Kake and half Haunted Bookshop then let age for at least 30 days makes Haunted Pirateship. I absolutely love it better than the two blends by themselves. Matches came up with the idea years ago.
Greatest taste description ever! Haha. Love the props. My wife just walked out in the porch and said, “oh my god what are you smoking? It smells amazing.” She’s a keeper!
You mentioned "scores" in this video; I appreciate the fact that you don't ultimately reduce your thoughts/opinions to a number. That style makes sense to me for pipe tobacco reviewing (if not selling). Carry on, goodsir.
I miss my pipe. I never smoked it daily, but every once in a while it was really nice to have while sitting on the back porch. Then, for some reason, nicotine started making me nauseous and I had to put it down. Admittedly, I wasn't really paying much attention to the kind of tobacco I was using (whatever looked interesting on Smoking Pipes at the time), so I may have had some stronger stuff. I recently looked at Smoking Pipes for nicotine strengths and they say Latakia has the lowest nicotine content of just about anything else out there (0.8-1% on average). With 75% Latakia in Pirate Kake, it makes me wonder if this might be something I can handle. Appreciate the review. Might have to give this one a go.
Worth a try, though I'd say that Pirate Kake is pretty bold! It's hard to say what might hit you, but as a general rule, pure Virginias, blends with Perique, and dark fired Kentucky blends are pretty high in nic.
I just got a tin of Sunday Picnic, dated from 2 weeks ago, which had a reasonably sized health warning along the bottom of the label. Not bad compared to the European warnings.
Hey Bradley. Glad to see that this time around covered more of the things a little less of the stuff. That’s bound to happen every once a while and I like it. Pirate cake, i’ll walk the plank. Arg.
Great video. Will be adding this to my next tobacco order. Keep the reviews coming. Helps a lot to narrow down so many different blends was looking at this blends last month but wasn't sure this review sealed the deal.
They are good reviews. Seriously, the best pipe tobacco reviews on UA-cam. You go more in depth on flavors and perceived flavors and really try to get us to understand what you experience.
Very nice! Thank you, friend, for helping me decide on the 8oz can over the 2. I trust your judgement, as you haven't let me down yet with how accurate you reviews end up being after I have tasted the blends for myself.
It's certainly on my must-try list, I already know C&D does a good job with this type of tobacco presentation from their delicious Kajun Kake VaPer. I would have held off a bit before making this video, though...Talk Like A Pirate Day is right around the corner on September 19th! Arr. Well done.
Thanks Bradley! This is everything I hoped it would be. Looking for others that actually taste like something. Rich and Earthy reminding me of the tobacco barns of NC that still hold the curing aroma of fresh leaf!
Love this review. The prop visuals were funny and on point. I saw this tobacco at my local shop and considered buying.. Pipe tobacco in Ontario is super expensive compared to USA. I will probably not purchase based on the latakia content, but this was a thorough and enjoyable review. Thanks Bradley
Watched this review again after finally buying some. Absolutely love it! This would of been my replacement for Nightcap if Peterson did not bring it back.
My mistake when starting smoking pipes was listening too close to others opinions on blends. Things like moisture content and blend info is great. But I was hating life with aeromatics and vapers. Found out I absolutely love Balkan blends and super heavy English blends like nightcap/ten russians. I smoke connoisseurs choice and autumn evening if I'm in the mood for a little bit of aromatherapy but Balkan blends, vaburs, and English blends with a healthy amount of burley really get me going
i liked ten russians and i had some from over 2 years ago, but my mom visited me and threw it out, along with everything else. im not a huge smoker but i like it enough to have cellared about 20 packed jars
Amen, I would postulate that the Burley is keeping the latikia slightly under control. I am on my third order of the 16 ounce. I tried anniversary kake and then when I tried this one I didn’t have to go any further. My other blend is Mac baren HH dark fired Kentucky ready Rub. ✔️👍👏. Those two are keeping me pacified during this terrible year.
Bradley very nice reviewthis blend sounds great im going to give it a try. Ive never tried it before. Bradley. Thanks for a great review happy smokes😃😃😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍👍 best regards peter
Ten months after watching this video, I am in search of a review of Maltese Falcon. Given that you are one of a very few to whom I turn for intelligent comments on tobacco, I'm wondering if there are any plans to review that smoke? I'd be interested if you are so inclined to try MF and give us your thoughts. Be well.
i know this is years later but I've been going through a bunch of your reviews recently. What is the song you had play at the beginning and end of these videos?
Have you tried the Sutliffs Virginia Crumble Kake or the Virginia Perique Crumble Kake? I really liked the way their cakes Crumble. They pack and burn great.
I think I understand the visual representation of the flavor. It's tight like a belt, boxy like a box, it sticks with you like a little stick, and it's milky like a carton of milk.
I'm a latakia junkie jl but pirate kake is so flat in taste I use it to mix with other blends HBS and 5 brother are my favorite to mix pirate kake with but by itself is super boring
I love Nightcap! This is a very close second! Very slightly milder. I also smoke cigars, so neither is strong to me, both have wonderful taste and aroma! C & D Bow Legged Bear, Black Frigate and Billy Budd are also really good.

Really? Wow, I missed that. It must be too strong no?
@@lightmetamorphosis I mostly smoke plugs and strong blends but definitely a pretty strong one.
Sounds really cool.
I will put down $20 today for a T-shirt that says ALotaLatakia.
Greatest taste description ever! Haha. Love the props. My wife just walked out in the porch and said, “oh my god what are you smoking? It smells amazing.” She’s a keeper!
Finally got a tin of Pirate Kake the other day.
Holy smokes, it’s amazing! Absolutely wonderful stuff.
Highly recommended.
Ah, Pirate Kake. For when you don’t want to taste anything else for the next two days.
I love this blend. I can't smoke it everyday or my wife would kick me out but it is awesome. Excellent review Bradley.
You mentioned "scores" in this video; I appreciate the fact that you don't ultimately reduce your thoughts/opinions to a number. That style makes sense to me for pipe tobacco reviewing (if not selling). Carry on, goodsir.
This tobacco is my favorite. It has this sweetness to it yet that lovely latakia coming through. AWESOME!
The most amusing, literally, review among yours. When you pulled those items out, I chuckled. A nice review on a lovely tobacco.
I love it.
It’s strong, smokey, leathery, but creamy and SMOOTH

I tried this about a year ago and was amazing out of the tin. I just broke it out after about 9 months and it's even better.....
ALOTTALATAKIA
I didn’t think I was going to like you reviews, but I was wrong. I have come to appreciate your videos. Thanks for your work.
Glad you like them!
Thank you Bradley. Another good review. I love this blend. As we get older glasses are required for the fine print...lol. Be well.
One of my favorites, but I tend to reserve it for Fall/Winter smoking...same as Gaslight.
The name is historically accurate-
A 75% Latakia blend was widely used by Pirates as a breath freshener.

You should definitely review C&D Kajun Kake. I would love to hear your opinion on it. Great review btw, you’re awesome!
Finally tried pirate kake today 01/16/21..Definitely in my top 5..love your reviews
Glad you like them!
They are good reviews. Seriously, the best pipe tobacco reviews on UA-cam.

Great review, as always! Surprised you gave Pirate Kake a shot before Kajun Kake - solid VaPer with same easy to work with cut. Thanks for all you do!
Still searching for that elusive Müsli bomb, but thanks for the review, Bradley!
Very nice! Thank you, friend, for helping me decide on the 8oz can over the 2. I trust your judgement, as you haven't let me down yet with how accurate you reviews end up being after I have tasted the blends for myself.
I really, really, REALLY want to try Pirate Kake! Have to order some very soon.
I liked the way you broke down the flavors in this one. Nice video as always.

You ever try it?

I purchaced some H&H Blackhouse resently, and it had the big warning labels front and back.
Always looking foreward to a video, especially when its regarding a blend that for me, was an instant favorite.
I just ordered some of this today. along with an aromatic.
btw they changed the label art. will see when it arrives.
Use to be able to buy it in bulk for around $4 an oz but I never really thought the quality was as good in bulk as it was in the tin.
“Cmon man, get a better font!” Lolol killin me
Couldn’t wait for this review

Another great review.. pirate kake is one of my favorite tobaccos.. old Ironside is another good lat bomb...
Thanks for the tip on Old Ironside, temporarily sold out but will pursue!
@@TheMarcalan its very strong... Not sure of how much but there is a lot of Latakia in it as well... I love Latakia too ...
Just bought my first tin today. Freaking amazing!
Nice!!
May I suggest you review Old Ironsides by Dan Tobacco! Another stellar Latakia blend, I'd love to hear your thoughts about.
I notice the burley at the end it’s nutty flavor is in the finish.
I’m excited to order this and try it! Also please finish CUPHEAD on SaTP next!
Amen, I would postulate that the Burley is keeping the latikia slightly under control. I am on my third order of the 16 ounce.

If you enjoy this blend I would highly recommend black frigate
Nice!! I just got a tin of Black Frigate! How's the rum flavor, can you taste or smell it??
somebody send this man a tri-cornered hat
Been sitting on a tin of this for some time now. Not sure why I haven't cracked it open yet.
i know this is years later but I've been going through a bunch of your reviews recently. What is the song you had play at the beginning and end of these videos?
If they don't like Latakia then get rid of them......Don't need that negativity in your life.😋
Just received 2-tins of this from tobaccopipes.com and one had the original label and the other has the big warning on it. Both were 2018 tins.
Have you tried the Sutliffs Virginia Crumble Kake or the Virginia Perique Crumble Kake? I really liked the way their cakes Crumble. They pack and burn great.
I asked elsewhere if you have reviewed Kramer's Father Dempsey? This may be a better place to post the question. Thanks
I think I understand the visual representation of the flavor. It's tight like a belt, boxy like a box, it sticks with you like a little stick, and it's milky like a carton of milk.
I was wondering if you'd end up liking it as I get a licorice taste/sensation from it. Good stuff.
How do you feel it stacks up to HH Vintage Syrian?... which is my favorite and a very close second is Dunhill My Mixture 965
Have to pass, looking for something with latakia. LOL, great review as always!
Great review!
Could the burley nuttiness be part of the Muesli flavour?
Awesomeness!!! Alota... ah... well... aaarrrrrr....
HAY FRIEND, IT'S A NICE & FANTASTIC EVENTS .THANKING YOU .
Very good tobacco, good taste, goos smell... perfect.
You forgot to include creosote in the flavouring.
I'm a latakia junkie jl but pirate kake is so flat in taste I use it to mix with other blends HBS and 5 brother are my favorite to mix pirate kake with but by itself is super boring
Great review. Thank you. 👍
It kinda tastes like how a Payless Shoes smells 😂
sounds like a perfect pirate stocking filler ! i hope....
Another great review!
If “nicotine” is not the same as strength, then what does “strength” mean?
The taste latakia can taste very leathery and camp firey
Love the Props man!! Seriously
Can you do a top 10 blends list?
What is the lead in and lead out song?
How did you make that tin disapear ??
at 08:45 the tin magically disappears from your hand :P
SORCERYandTHINGS
What brand/kind of hat is that????
A lot of what? Lol
I'm not sure what to think about pirate make though.
How does it compare to Nightcap? Sweeter?
Yes,I would say pirate kake has sweetness to it where nightcap doesnt have that. There pretty close otherwise.
I love Nightcap! This is a very close second! Very slightly milder. I also smoke cigars, so neither is strong to me, both have wonderful taste and aroma! C & D Bow Legged Bear, Black Frigate and Billy Budd are also really good.
@jona5517 How is Black Frigate compared to Pirate Kake? @@jona5517
So you're saying you get a good 'belt' of Latakia.
AR!
Do tobacco smokers ever use glass pipes??
I was wondering that in the beginning too, but no. Glass gets too hot.😕
It's pirate font brah.
Ten Russians.
Witcher 3 game play
Alohalahakia
It`s soooooooooo tasty MMMMMMMhhhhmmmmm
Hi everyone I have just tried pirate cake it tastes to me like a barbecued burnt burger end of 🧔🏻👎
Damn ! ... not first.
Hope your pants didn't fall down when you got up to turn off the camera.
forty-fifth YAY!
