Cornell & Diehl Winthrop
(2.33)
Somewhat lighter than the Balkans, more gentle, not so bold in flavor. Mostly the same tobaccos.
Notes: This was an Atlas Blending Corp. mixture. Cornell and Diehl bought the rights of all their old recipes.

The tin description is perfect. Latakia bombs are lost on me. I love the stuff to add some taste and share in the fun, but not as the life of the party.
Winthrop meets my tastes in that respect perfectly. Its a well balanced blend that isn't too rich to enjoy throughout the day but does meet the requirements of a Balkan by leaning towards the Oriental leaf components.
Were I grading it on intrigue and complexity, I might have to dip down to a 3-star rating, but the superb burning qualities, the lack of bite, and overall smoke-ability, not to mention a welcoming price point tip this sleeper well into the four star category.
Incidentally, for the nostalgic I'll note that this recipe was one of the original Atlas blends dating back to who knows when and came with the business when the Tarlors bought what is now C&D.
