Cornell & Diehl Buffalo Soldier

Buffalo Soldier is a blend Cornell & Diehl dedicated to the U.S. Army's 9th, 10th, 24th, and 25th Regiments. These all-Black units, formed after the Civil War and serving through World War II, were known as the "Buffalo Soldiers." The blend is built by adding a measured proportion of Latakia and perique to a base of naturally sweet Virginia leaf; the cut is ribbon. Latakia is not dominant; Virginia's sweetness and perique's spicy accent balance the smoke. The maker places the blend in the English family and describes it as a mixture fit for all-day smoking.
