Stanhope

Stanhope is one of the Atlas blends Cornell & Diehl took over. It's a ribbon-cut English mixture built from a composition of Burley, Perique, Oriental, and Latakia; the maker's description notes it's full in flavor but light in nicotine.

The Burley base gives the blend a dry, nutty body, while Perique adds spice and Latakia together with Oriental take on a smoky, tangy layer. On the maker's scale, strength is low, flavor high, and room note medium. Suited to smokers wanting intense flavor without high nicotine, drawn to Burley-focused English mixtures.
