Stratfordshire

Stratfordshire is a ribbon-cut mixture in Cornell & Diehl's English blend family. Latakia and Turkish leaf are added to a Virginia body; Burley and black Cavendish also balance the blend's texture and sweetness. It takes its name from the English region of the same name, and the brand's marketing highlights this rural association.

On the flavor side it offers a medium-to-full English profile: Latakia's smoke is noticeable but doesn't take over the blend alone, sitting alongside Virginia's sweetness and the Oriental's dry spice. Suited to smokers who like unflavored blends and want a balanced Latakia mixture they can smoke all day.
