Squadron Leader

Squadron Leader is one of Samuel Gawith's ribbon-cut classic English mixtures. Its composition holds Virginia, Latakia, and Oriental (Turkish) leaf; it carries no casing. The fine, loose cut makes packing easy, and the burn proceeds without trouble.

On the smoke, Virginia's sweetness runs alongside Latakia's cool, smoky line; the Oriental leaf's exotic tone stays in the background. Nicotine fullness and flavor intensity are low, so the blend stays light enough to smoke all day. Fits smokers newly starting on English mixtures or avoiding heavy Latakia doses; it may read as measured for those expecting intense smoke and high nicotine.
