Cornell & Diehl Red Stag
(2.37)
Red and Golden Virginias provide a pleasant base for this medium-strength English. Latakia and Turkish Orientals offer their own addition to the blend giving it a pungent smoky and earthy flavors and hints of pepper. An excellent all round medium English, Red Stag is a nicely balanced and very well rounded blend.
Notes: Reminiscent of old original Rattray's Red Rapparee.

Red Stag is a short cut tobacco that arrived with the right moisture level for me (a little dry) and had a nice fig/plum tin note. It's a little bit sweet and a little bit sour, but in a good way. My first tin has some age on it and that added to the sweetness. However, for me, this is one of those blends that my enjoyment decreased with each bowl until my last tin was left unfinished. Red Stag just wasn't as complex and interesting as similar blends in its class although I am a bit of a "puffer" so slow smokers may have a better experience. Also, having smoked the original Red Rapparee, I don't find the blends similar at all. Somewhat recommended, and cool tin art.

I certainly taste the pepper which adds to the blend. Easy smoking. A light to medium English. Tasty but what price glory? If Latakia bothers you and yet you want an English blend then this might fit the bill but … there are less expensive bulk and tin versions.

I wish I rated this blend before I was left with just crumbs at the bottom of the tin. I don’t think it was anything special, burns easy , no bite , goes nice with stout beer

it is a decent medium bodied english blend. for the most part its mellow and nothing very special but occasionally you get very sweet puffs which i enjoy. also you get the occasional spicy puff which is even better. i only wish this blend would be more consistent in its flavors. for the most part it is rather bland
