Afternoon Delight

Afternoon Delight is a ribbon-cut mixture Cornell & Diehl builds by adding fire-cured Kentucky and Oriental leaf to a Virginia-heavy body. Per the maker's description, maple and smoky campfire notes stand out in the blend; a small amount of Latakia and black cavendish round out this frame.

Kentucky and Latakia add a dry smoke to the blend while black cavendish carries a measured sweetness; since the flavoring level is kept low, the blend sits closer to a smoky American mixture than an aromatic. It suits those approaching Latakia blends for the first time or looking for a lightly flavored, smoky smoke.
