10 to Midnight is pretty darn good. I'm waiting until July for the 15% off MM cob sale for another P&C order. Might have to add a tin if there's still any around.

Tasty Kake is a line of snack cakes in my area, not sure if they are nationwide in distribution or not. Of course the is name is two words not one like this one. Wondered if it was a play on words? But that was the first thing I thought of when I heard the name. Doesn't sound like it would remotely resemble one of those pastries, though, lol.

If Russ starts having names like "dunkin stix and Jr Crumb Kake then we will know its a geographical thing! |

Probably not...too much other stuff on my radar...I noticed that it is a limited batch, so i thought that i would throw it out there...I have quite a bit of English, but I tend not to smoke it as much, so my buying tendencies lean towards Virginias and Burleys...Va-per, and Va-burs..loving perique. |

A friend sent me some. Here's my review:
The Virginias and matured Carolina form the base of the blend, though the role they fill is just above being a background player. They provide some grass, citrus, dark fruit with a light tanginess and a “barbecue” fermentation along with a touch of earth. The deeply rich, smoky, woody sweet Cyprian latakia takes a light lead over the smoky, woody, earthy, spicy, floral, buttery and dry sour Turkish and Orientals. The spicy raisiny, plumy perique competes with the spice from the Turkish, and its last two attributes offer some added nuances. The sugary black cavendish adds a light smoothness. The strength level is just past mild to medium. The nic-hit is just shy of the center of mild to medium. Won’t bite, and has no harsh or dull moments. This krumble kake is very easily broken apart to suit your packing preference. Well balanced and more nuanced than its brother blend, Ten to Midnight, it burns cool, clean and a little slow with a rich sweet and savory, mostly consistent flavor. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires some relights. Has a pleasant, lingering rich after taste. Not quite an all day smoke, but close enough than an experienced smoker may consider it to be one.

Hate to correct you but Tastykake is a trademarked name of a product line belonging to Flowers Bakery and distributed east of the Mississippi River. (I make my money designing advertising for grocery stores.)   Russ may have to reconsider the name. Seattle Pipe Club ran into a similar problem last year and that's why you can't buy Pike's Place anymore. |

Now we know the whole Tastykake story. This goes back to the old saying, "If you think of something, it likely has already been done before "
