I was on smokingpipes.com and noticed Cornell & Diehl have released their newest christmas blend, and after reading the description of the blend I bought a 2oz tin to try it out. Expect the review to come soon.
I received a sample of this a few months back after touring the factory with my pipe club. I never really picked up the allspice or cinnamon but you do get a hint of vanilla. The virginas stood out to me the most, with a bit of spice from the turkish tobacco and a hint of sweet. Its a good aromatic with some weight behind it. Goes great with a cup of coffee for that morning drive.

I'm waiting for Christmas to try mine.
Me too Bo. I got an 8oz tin several weeks ago and will open it on Christmas eve.
