HU Tobacco Fayyum Kake
(3.43)
The Fayyum Kake: Following the success of FbM’s Fayyum Blend, HU Tobacco decided to provide this remarkable mixture of dark fired Virginia, Kentucky, black cavendish and its generous measure of latakia in “Kake” form. The tobacco is pressed in cakes for one week and then cut into plugs. This process enhances the already exquisitely balanced choice of leaf for an ethereally smoky, deeply rich and incredibly complex smoking pleasure.
Notes: Contains 65% Cyprian latakia. Syrian was originally used until the stock ran out. (They changed the name of the series from "Foundation by Musicó" to "African Line")

I'm a relatively new pipe smoker and have been wanting to get into Latakia forward blends for a while, and had heard good things about HU's lines. I grabbed a tin when I saw it go on sale from an online vendor here (I'm in Germany). Good-golly Batman... this stuff is good.
This stuff tastes like drinking a Guinness, while munching on a German spice cookie at Christmastime. And the smell wafting up from my pipe is kind of incense in the way you'd expect from a holiday market. (I strongly suspect, though, that once it settles in, I'll smell like I smoked a cigar)
This is everything I've wanted from a blend I can puff on for a while while reading or writing this fits the bill well as it smokes easily, cool, long and puts out huge billowy clouds of smoke. Unfortunately, my wife may not let me in the house afterward because I smell a little bit like campfire right now... but hey - it gives me something to look forward when she's out of town for a weekend.
