Having searched the web in order to find a history of McClelland's Christmas Cheer, hoping to answer questions such as "what year did the series begin?", "what tobaccos and vintages appeared in the (say) 1996 and 2001 offerings?", I came up empty handed.
Nature abhors a vacuum, and, having found one, I decided to fill it, starting with a call to McClelland. While McClelland's site didn't contain a history of Christmas Cheer, with the assistance of Kristi Streit, I was able to piece together one:

Hoping this might serve as a small resource to the community, or at least a few of my fellow tobacco geeks.
