Squadron Leader may be the quintessential 'English' blend. This medium-bodied mixture of golden and stoved Virginias along with earthy Turkish and a fair dose of Latakia delivers a rich, cool and amazingly smooth smoke perfect for anytime. See for yourself why Squadron Leader is one the shelves of Latakia lovers everywhere.
This is a definite for the English lovers out there. Very relaxing
Open the tin smell that good stank, like leather, spicy old pudding, and stuff men are made of. Smokes great I only relight the bowl once from my first try, great smoky flavor although the wife made an ugly face when I smoked it. Will break this out next time mother in law is over.
Nice mild,cool, smokey, English blend.. Nothing more, nothing less. I can see why this is why most people use this to compare to others. My only complaint is I just got one ounce.
A bit moist when you first open the tin. I let it sit open for an hour or two and then it was PERFECT. Definitely a sweet delight!
This one had a terrific smell and you could really taste the latakia. I had some problems with it drying too fast if I didn't pack the tin in my humidor but other than that it was a real spicy good smoke.
Great tobacco burns well and a experience that you need to try
opening the tin reminds me of long days out on the farm with my grandfather and dad working cattle, with the smell of the fire keeping the irons hot. The smell of the cows ,the dust in the air, the ointments we put on the cows all of those smells that were out there. Please don't let my description throw you off it is a very good smoke and for me takes me back to a place that I can never go back to except in my dreams. So give it a try and maybe it will transport you to another time and place like it does for me
This was the first English blend I fell in love with after many years of hiding under piles of aromatics. The flavor is pretty much as the product describes. To me, on first lighting I get the feeling being outside in a ponderosa forest. I suppose that's the "nutty" aspect of the oriental components. A lot of flavor in this but still reasonably mild. I started with tin but now am buying it in bulk.
