Odessa

Odessa is a medium-bodied English mixture Cornell & Diehl builds on a burley base. Per the manufacturer's description, burley, Oriental leaves, Latakia, and perique are used together, with Virginia also present in the mix. The Latakia level is enough to give a smoky character without masking the other leaves.

Burley lends the blend a cool, dry body, while perique adds a measured spicy edge. The maker describes it as a blend suited to all-day smoking. It offers a middle-ground option for smokers new to Latakia blends or those who find full-bodied English mixtures too heavy.
