I got my order in 2 of each. In stock at smokingpipes.com.
2013 Christmas Blend

A base of various cuts of sun-drenched mature Virginias is here topped with a touch of black Cavendish and nutty Burley, then lent aromatic flavors of honey, plum, and cinnamon to create a relaxing, harmonious smoke.

2013 Special Reserve

Exclusive hand-cut Virginia flake, bright yellow and mahogany Virginias, and dark Cavendish are combined for Peterson's 2013 Special Reserve, before given a good dose of passion fruit and peach aroma to create a beautiful-looking blend with a sweet, yet complex symphony of flavor.

2013 Summertime Blend

Yellow, red, and dark Virginias are here combined with broad-cut black Cavendish, joined by a hint of Burley and granulates of more Virginia, and finally exotic aromas of mango and Caribbean rum all to create a smooth and extravagant smoke.

I've been a fan of Peterson's yearly offerings for a while now. It started when I was gifted a sample of the 2009 and 2010 Holiday Season blends. Then I went off and purchased the 2011 Summertime and Special Reserve blends and enjoyed those a lot.
They're a good quality aromatic. The leaf is of high quality and burns nice and evenly to a white ash. The top dressing is usually done rather nicely, transferring at just the right amount into the smoke. Also, the tobacco flavors will peek their head in from time to time during the bowl as well. They tend to come just a hair on the moist side so a bit of drying time can improve the blends. This may be a good thing for the Holiday Blend this year however since it's coming out so early. Overall if you're looking for a uniquely top dressed aromatic these yearly offerings are something to check out.
I ordered a tin of Summertime and Special Reserve along with two tins of Holiday Season. So far Holiday Season has always been the best for me.
Definitely do not hesitate to order if you're into Peterson's yearly offerings or interested in giving these blends a try. As mentioned before they will sell out very quickly.

I also threw in a tin of Capstan Blue & Yellow as well as Three Nuns and CAOs Eileens Dream to finish it off. Can't believe I forgot to add Captain Black Dark to it lol. Ah well.

Yeah, went there, did that with 2 tins of the Special Reserve, in addition to Capstan Blue, McB Roll Cake, Peterson University Flake, Sutliff Man's Best Friend and BRG, and Peterson Old Dublin.
And, I gotta tell ya, not only did my TAD go wild, but my PAD went mad: Added to the order was a Savinelli Hercules Rusticated 320 EX.
I'm a dead man. Face it, I'm a dead man. Wife is gonna kill me. So long cruel world, but I'm taking my PAD and TAD with me. Hopefully.

I don't like cinnamon, passion fruit, or rum. None of these sound good to me. I do like the Special Reserve tin though.

I will be ordering 1 of each this Friday. I love all of those yearly blends. I learned my lesson last year and almost completely missed out on the Christmas Blend in the late fall.

I have to say this year's tin artwork is some of the best I've seen with these yearly blends.

I agree. I especially like the Special Reserve tin. I have thought about saving the Christmas tins over the next several years and framing the tops of them in a big collage. Make my own pipe art.

I've been collecting the tins myself as they are usually quite good.

That was my idea as well. Saving the tins for a few years and making some kind of display/collage out of them.
