Samuel Gawith's Squadron Leader is a traditional English blend of bright Virginias, smoky Latakia, and spicy Orientals. The blend is named after a famous British fighter plane from World War I, and is a favorite among fans of the classic English style. The tobacco is pressed and aged in cakes before being sliced into thin flakes, which are easy to pack and slow-burning. The result is a rich and complex smoke with notes of earth, wood, and spice, balanced by the natural sweetness of the Virginias. Squadron Leader is a must-try for any lover of English blends.
