Mountain Camp

Mountain Camp, by Cornell & Diehl's own account, came about at a customer's request: it was created by swapping the Latakia and perique ratios of the Bayou Night recipe. The result is a full-bodied English mixture in which Latakia takes the lead while perique recedes into the background as a spicy, tangy edge. Virginia and burley build the body, while Oriental leaves add a tangy, herbal layer.

The ribbon cut packs and burns easily, burning evenly throughout. With high nicotine and flavor intensity, it is intended as a hearty evening blend or for long outdoor sessions; the maker describes it as a fitting companion for a day of fishing. It appeals to the experienced smoker looking for a generous dose of Latakia and already familiar with perique's spice.
