I find most C & D blends are sold before their time. This blend goes from a blandish but somewhat flavorful blend to an outstanding flavorful blend in the matter of 4-6 months. The date of blending is on the can and comes usually within 1-2 months of blending. I have found the same with Pirate Kake and Black Dawg, 2 other outstanding blends from C&D. The flavors of the different tobaccos in this blend come through to varying degrees and the toasting really adds a nice side to this blend 4-4.5 stars

This was my first try at a crumble cake, and i like them, the smell upon opening is different, you can smell the latakia, but it smells like a real strong campfire or some sort of thing. Wonderful smell and texture.
The tobacco crumbled nicely, perfect moisture level and really packed into the pipe. I find that as with most C&D tobacco, you can pack this in pretty tight.
The flavor was outstanding, rich full and satisfying, it tasted alot like it smelled, very balanced neither too spicy nor too sweet, you know you are smoking when you light this up.
This is probably the biggest surprise in my tastings i loved it and it will definately be in my rotation.
Highly reccomended.

Holy Moley!!! This blend is like a fresh cup of fine black coffee first thing in the morning! It's flavor is very complex (see the tobacco pedigree listed above), and I detect a nuttiness in the flavor that I really enjoy. It produces thick clouds of billowy white smoke which, in my opinion, a good pipe tobacco should. I experienced no excessive heat, moisture, or bite.
Very satisfying and highly recommended!
