Awakened Elder

Awakened Elder is a ribbon-cut mixture where Cornell & Diehl brings together Latakia with Kasturi cigar leaf of Indonesian origin. The blend also contains Virginia, burley, perique, and black cavendish; the maker's description describes the blend by its dense, exotic smoke.

Latakia forms a smoky, woody core while cigar leaf adds an earthy weight, and perique contributes a spicy-fruit touch; burley softens these layers. It suits experienced smokers looking for an unflavored, layered, hearty English mixture.
