This one’s not here to flirt or play tricks on the palate. Pesse Canoe Latakia Flake 20 is for the pipe smoker who understands that Latakia, when treated properly, doesn’t need to scream to be heard.

Gladora’s taken their cue from the classics with this one—a medium-cut flake pressed with Latakia in balance rather than domination. You won’t find that smoky tang turning the whole bowl into a bonfire. Instead, it lends a steady campfire undertone, anchoring the Virginias and dark leaf with the calm assurance of a well-worn leather armchair.

The flakes are firm, slightly oily to the touch, and rub out easily—or fold and stuff if you like things the old-fashioned way. Either method delivers a cool, slow smoke that won’t nip your tongue or fizzle out halfway. This one burns with quiet confidence, and there’s no rush. In fact, you’d be wasting it if you did. A unique blend of Virginia, Turkish Orient, and 20% rare Turkish Latakia. This classic English style gets a fresh twist. Unlike its Cypriot or historic Syrian counterparts, Turkish Latakia adds a distinct smoky character with a fruity depth, reminiscent of dried fruits and ripe plums.

The natural sweetness of Virginia forms the foundation, providing a smooth and balanced smoke. As the bowl develops, layers of spicy and woody notes emerge, creating a well-rounded and satisfying experience.

Proper tobacco, proper flake.
