Hot Damn! This is Great!

nd, I often fear to do so around non-smokers because of the somewhat terrible room note. Because this is low in lat and allows the VA/oriental to shine through, I'm happy to smoke this anythime, anywhere, around anyone....Read More
Star of the East Gold

lay.
Sampled in a Missouri Pride.
One thing I noticed from the very first light it has a very warm Virginia hay presence. Oriental obviously is the body and it has richness, but the Latakia is very subdued. I would even say the Latakia is more of an idea here than a flavor. Tastes all taken together, the Virginia seems dominant and grassy and I’m not sure that is the intention.
Really wish I tasted Latakia as clearly as I can smell it from the bag. This taste kinda like someone just dumped the remains of an English tin on top of the Virginia tin and kept going.
All in all , to me, this is a Virginia blend with oriental and a dash of Latakia . The feeling is that the oriental should really be the star of the show here, but the Latakia is too weak to prop it up and the Virginia is overpowering and overly sweetened.
I’m not a fan.
My rating : 2

Not Star of the East

okay. Stop comparing it to its namesake and you'll start to enjoy it. It is *very* dry, however, so it smokes a bit hot and fast....Read More

Good Blend

Nothing like its name sake it is floral and buttery a good all day blend but lacking the lakakia to keep the Star of the East name it should be named something entirely unique.

I can smoke this all day. IF I can smoke only 1 blend for the rest of my life, this will be it.
This blend pairs very well with coffee (with or without cream), whisky, or tea.

It's sweet, smooth, and smokey. An all day smoke, for sure. Smokes cool, and has a really rich flavor. Milder than the original SotE, but still interesting enough to keep my attention. A delicious smoke....Read More
Not what I thought it was

Product: Cornell & Diehl Star of the East Gold Bulk
I bought this think it was a gold leaf version of Star of the East. It is NOT. A quality blend in its own right, but not one I'm likely to revisit.
