Cornell & Diehl London Squire

Decent smoking tobacco, burns clean with no bite however other than that it is just pretty ordinary and I will not buy again.

Not too bad, but not as good as I expected since I thoroughly enjoy English blends.

A decent smoke. A little bit on the sweet side for my taste.

quality tobacco, burns slow, very flavorful. burns down to white ash.

My favorite C&D blend.

nice fragrance maybe needs a bit more latakia but overall very good Holmes would have approved;)

[Tin/bag - Old shoe leather with a little earthiness, not catching much else after a some more whiffs. Just slightly moist, but I loaded a bowl since it is really close to ready to light up on moisture side.] Good full mouthfeel. A slight tang and sweetness towards the orange side and a very faint hint of yellowed grass. Not much Latakia, but it plays along in support for a cool, smooth, nice English blend. Reminds a bit of a sharper Arango Balkan Supreme (preferred - richer, thicker bigger flavor), but there are some Burley overtones here and there. Not catching any nuttiness from the Burley, did get some very slight general Burley flavor, also did catch a hint of cigarette at one faint point in the retrohale. Plenty of great flavor here overall, though I would prefer Balkan Supreme, Presbyterian, Super Balkan, or Billy Budd more when looking for this style of flavor. Burns cool and excellent down to ash, with little relights. With heavier puffing I did get some moisture that could gurgle very slightly, more of a few pops - some dry time probably would prevent the moisture accumulation since it was a bit moist. This quite after a few minutes and no moisture left in the bowl at end. Would be a great English smoke any time of day or night.

I was looking for a replacement for Frog Morton's Cellar since it is apparently permanently out of stock. London Squire is, at least on paper, a very similar blend. That's where the similarities end. FMC is very creamy, has a smokiness like a warm campfire, and has virtually no bite. London Squire is a little harsh, has only the tiniest hint of Latakia, and burns poorly. I considered buying some blending Latakia to try to rescue this purchase but I'm afraid that might be throwing good money after bad. If you're looking for a rich, creamy, smokey blend, this isn't it. If you want an extremely light "English type" blend and don't mind a bit of bite and continuous relighting, London Squire might be enjoyable for you.

A light English with a sweet side. Surprisingly good.

This is a well balanced blend of flavors, providing a pleasant aroma. If you want one that doesn't leave your tongue bit this is a very smooth smoking tobacco. Well blended and tasty.

This is my favorite of all English blends, very smooth smoke, no bite, cool burning.

This is a really wonderful blend, smooth, savory, and delicious. It has zero bite and a wonderful even burn right down to the bottom of the bowl. It doesn't burn the tongue and is delightful to the last puff. And the room aroma is something even my wife can appreciate! The smoke in your mouth is as satisfying and savory as a thick bowl of beef stew on a brisk autumn day. If you are used to something rugged and overpowering this is not for you. This is exactly the type of quality English blend I have come to expect from Cornell & Diehl since I first started purchasing from them in the 1990's.

I like the aroma and it's mild.

Great English blend will buy again A+++++
