Country Squire Shepherd’s Pie is a classic English blend — Virginias and Orientals married to smoky Latakia from Country Squire, a ribbon cut that packs easily and lights readily for a straightforward smoke.
Black Cavendish, Burley, Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Virginia make up the leaf. Black Cavendish is steamed and pressed for a mellow, sweet, mildly smoky smoothness. Burley is an air-cured leaf with a dry, nutty, cocoa-like quality and low sugar. Latakia, a fire-cured Oriental leaf, brings the smoky, incense-like campfire character that defines English and Balkan blends. Oriental (Turkish) leaf contributes dry, sour-sweet spice and a herbal, aromatic edge. Virginia tobacco lends a natural grassy, hay-like sweetness and gentle citrus tang that deepens with age.
