Cornell and Diehl Star of the East Flake
Rich, creamy, smokey smoke. Easy to light and keep lite. I personally think it is better than some of those unicorn brands.

east flake
Weak, very weak.

star of the east. flake
Simply my favorite smoke. If you like latika and or english blends, this is it.

It is a star alright
This is the 4th C&D blend I've tried, and all 4 have been excellent. It is what the description says. It burns cool, and you'd have to puff on it for it to bite back a little. I like Orient Express a little more, but I'll get to this one again. Recommended!

Star of the east flake
One of my top 5 favorite blends.

Love it!
Taste similar to other favorites in the same category. But, just as they do, it has its own characteristics that set it apart. Similar to Quiet Nights and Penzance but, it stands on its own two feet. Really enjoyable and I always look forward to smoking it. Cheers!

Simply one of the best English blends on the market
This is one big "Lat Bomb" that won't let you down. The complexity is not too deep, but the flavor is. It's a big smokey, cool burning, in your face delicious English blend. The flavor of the Cyprian latakia is very similar to Penzance as you may have heard, but that's as far as it gets. Penzance is Oriental driven, this is pure latakia heaven.

Outstanding English
This is one of the best English Blends around. It smokes very smooth and should be in everyone’s rotation.

Fantastic
Reminds me of Quiet Nights but more Oriental forward. A very good smoke.
