Pepper on everything including my tobacco! If you love perique... This blend is for you. I thought I liked perique, but after this blend it was confirmed that I love the stuff. While I still feel this blend is evenly balanced, and perique is not overloaded, some others think so. Spicy, Sweet, and Smooth is what you can expect from this blend. Highly recommended.

This Kake is superb in every way. Very pleasurable to smoke and was also very easy to light. The strength of the tobacco was just how I liked it very mellow and not at all overwhelming. The flavoring was very light, chocolaty and was suited well for this blend. I found the smoke thoroughly enjoyable and would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Mr. Ouellette for what I consider one of the best tobacco blends I have ever smoked.

While on my trip down the VAPER hiway I tried AK. I liked it enough from the first bowl to turn around and order a pound to cellar. Each time that I revisit this blend I find that I like it even more. From rub-out, pack, light, sip, to the end of the bowl, one word comes to mind
pleasureable. It could certainly become a "go to" smoke. 'nuff said I give it * * * *

This one starts out as a very nice Virginia, producing creamy clouds of smoke with some chocolate-like notes. The Perique is barely there at first, slowing begining to show itself. By half-bowl, the Perique makes itself known in no uncertain terms.
If you are not a fan of Perique, stay away from AK. This is one spicy meatball.
A joy to look at, work with and smoke, this is a masterpiece from Russ Ouellette. A must try for Va/Per lovers.

This is yet another one of Russ Ouellette's masterpiece blends from the Hearth & Home series. The cake is packaged in in 1 ounce pressed blocks about 4 inches long and 3/4 inches wide. The appearence is a brown, yellow and black mixture that is rather sticky to the touch. Upon opening the bag, a sweet yet grassy aroma comes forth.
This blend would probably light a bit easier if dried out. However, once it is lit it generally burns slow but consistant. This blend provides a creamier smoke than most VA/PER blends I've tried in the past. The flavor is nothing short of wonderful. A sweet, creamy treat with just the right amount of perique that should not be missed. A wonderful smoke. Four stars and then some.
