Cornell & Diehl Sea Dog

Sea Dog is a ribbon-cut blend in Cornell & Diehl's English family. It's made of a combination of dark Burley, light Virginia flake, black Cavendish, Turkish leaf, and Cyprus Latakia; its name and marketing are built around nautical imagery. Burley's breadlike base gives the blend body, while Latakia and Oriental take on the smoky, spicy layer; black Cavendish softens the transitions. On the maker's scale, strength, flavor, and room note are medium.
