London Squire

London Squire is a ribbon-cut English mixture Cornell & Diehl offers in bulk. Its structure holds Cyprus Latakia, sweet Virginia, nutty Burley, and unsweetened black Cavendish; here black Cavendish carries no flavor casing, being used instead to soften the blend and thicken its body. The resulting smoke is smoky but not sharp, with a creamy, full character.

Sitting in the medium band for both strength and room note, it suits smokers newly moving into Latakia blends as well as those wanting a balanced English mixture they can smoke all day. Being an unflavored blend, its taste comes from the tobaccos' own balance, offering a profile swinging between Latakia's smoke and Virginia's sweetness. It's produced in the US and is generally found on bulk tobacco shelves rather than in tins.
