The full-bodied English blend Cornell & Diehl Star of the East is renowned for its rich, well-balanced taste and high Latakia concentration. Its composition caters to fans of smoky, classic blends, and it comes in a ribbon cut combination and a pressed flake.

Dominant Latakia: The Cyprian Latakia has a rich, earthy leather flavour that is smokey and savoury, frequently accompanied by overtones of barbecue and campfire.

Oriental spice: The smoky Latakia is complemented by a rich, nutty, and exotic character from the Turkish (Izmir) leaf.

Sweet Virginia: To prevent the mix from tasting muddy, the stoved red Virginia adds a rich, sweet, and tangy component reminiscent of old fruit.

Overall complexity: The smoke is powerful and nuanced due to the balanced character, which guarantees that the Latakia is prominent without overpowering the other tobacco notes.
