Star of the East by Cornell & Diehl

Star of the East by Cornell & Diehl is a powerhouse English blend that has earned its reputation as a long-standing customer favorite. Built on a commanding base of 50% Latakia, this blend delivers deep, smoky richness right from the first light, setting the tone for a robust and unapologetic smoking experience.

A generous portion of Turkish leaf adds complexity and balance, contributing notes of incense, dry spice, and a subtle herbal character that keeps the Latakia from becoming one-dimensional. Stoved red Virginias round out the mixture, introducing a gentle sweetness and dark fruit undertone that softens the edges and brings harmony to the blend.

The result is a full-bodied, cool-burning smoke with remarkable depth—earthy, smoky, and slightly sweet, with a long, satisfying finish. Star of the East is a blend for seasoned English lovers, best enjoyed when you want something substantial, contemplative, and unmistakably classic.
