Cornell & Diehl Kajun Kake
(3.31)
We start with naturally sweet red Virginias and add just the right touch of everyone's favorite Cajun spice, Louisiana Perique. Then we press it into an old fashioned crumble cake which deepens and marries the flavors into what is quickly becoming one of C&D's most popular blends ever!

Wow, I get to be first?! I had the distinguished honor to get to try this the week before the Chicago Pipe show. I was visiting C&D the Friday before Easter- In the throes of TAD, when Mr. Tarler passed me a bag with a black cake in it and advised me to ?Stick this in your pipe?- Who am I to argue? On Char light I got a blast of a deep, rich, sweet and spicy blast of sheer joy. Did I mention I love Perique? As the bowl progressed the flavor got richer, and fuller- Not one to wax imaginative, but I had the most peaceful vision of a night in the mountains under a full moon??then I was informed the name was Kajun Kake. Fitting I thought..... I'm ¾ down the bowl and it just gets smoother?.Its about this time I realize I?m getting tunnel vision. See- I had a Kaywoodie ¼ bent bulldog, and it?s a fair big bowl. When Mr. Tarler says stick this in your pipe- Well I did. I was having such a good time, I didn?t realize I had been smoking it for about 45mins. So give it some respect?..finishes as good as you could wish. This is such a great blend- I can?t say enough. It?s become my favorite VaPer- As a side note- I dedicated that Kaywoodie to it. Laissez les bon temps rouler!!!!!!! ***Well I was first- Seems when you go back to fix your bad spelling- you get thrown to the head of the class..What a revoltin development... 🙁

Oh, my! I stopped by my local B&M to replenish my dwindling stocks and my tobacconist said, "You like Perique; fill a bowl with this." He then handed me a tin of Kajun Kake. Fortunately, I had my Peterson with me, so I indulged him.
Was it good? Did I like it? Well, I'll say this: it is the first time I bought a tobacco _before_ reading its review on TRC.
In the tin, it's both earthy & fruity. In my pipe, it's a pleasant pirogue ride through the lazy backwaters of the bayou: relaxing, thought-inspiring, a mini-vacation from the cares and woes of everyday life. And isn't that what a pipe session should be?
However, I must admit that this lovely blend plays straight to my prejudices: After sampling what's on the radio these days I'm becoming even more firmly entrenched in my belief that the only music worth listening to is reggae or Zydeco. Kajun Kake supports my view that for me, any blend I smoke is a disappointment unless it's got a splash of Perique. God, I love that tobacco!
As for the comments in the first two reviews, asll I can say is, "You right about dat!"

Easiest 4 stars ever. Funky, tangy, figgy, plummy, spicy, earthy, vegetative and a bit bready. The virginias are deep and sweet with citrus, earth, hay and bread. The perique is unreal, bringing that funky barnyard, but it is also rich with sweet date/fig, maybe a dash of pepper, so good. It is both savoury and sweet, in that order, and the funky barnyard/manure from the perique is prominent. The cake is a perfect cut for effortless prep and smoke, I just pinch off and rub out, it is almost granulated at that point. No bite, all flavour. Good anytime of day or night. Wow. If you like vapers and/or enjoy C&D blends with their 31 Farms perique, Kajun Kake will knock you flat. This one has quickly become an absolute favourite and I reach for it constantly. Remember, you heard it here first so, for goodness sake leave some for me!
