Good morning.Winter is here already! I wondered if anyone has a favorite blend for the winter time, maybe not only for winter, but a special blend for that christmas feel. Thanks everyone.

I remember Christmas 1981, the year when I first started smoking a pipe, my Dad bought me some Cherry Berry from Fader's http://www.faderstobac.com and I went bonkers over it. I always consider picking up some around the holidays for old times sake. But now at 49 my baccy tastes have certainly matured and I'm not sure if I would appreciate it anymore. I like aromatics in the Winter, mostly because I'm smoking in the house more, and my wife may have a fit if I turn the living room into a den of Latakia. Lane BCA and 1Q , with the occasional Altadis Irish Creme (mixed with Prince Albert, try that!) and Rum And Maple are good enough for me. I've heard a few guys here talk about a blend called Christmas Cookie, not sure who makes it, but that one has sparked some curiosity, and I may have to seek it out.

Autumn Evening is my cold weather go to on occassion. I've tried the Peterson Holiday blend 2011 and di not care for it as it is too sweet for me. I even added 2 oz of latakia to it but can't tame that beast. The McClelland Christmas blend was a better actor for me ut I'm sure I'll stick to my English blends.

I know it's not winter, but it basically is in NY state with temperatures already around the 0 centigrade. I believe Christmas cookie is by a company named Boswel or similar to the name. I also heard many good things about it, but i tend to stay out of aromatics and more into virginias. Latakia sounds like a good choice to stay comfortable. I think I'll try that. I appreciate the feedback guys. Does any one have any more suggestions?

Christmas Cookie is a Boswell's blend. I, too, am smokimg more aromatics with the cold weather if I want to stay inside smoking.

I agree that the cooler weather is a perfect time for more latakia-forward blends.
However, I'm in the minority when it comes to "Christmas blends". Tutti fruity, candy, cookie and pudding (?!) flavored tobaccos are just not for me.

I tend to go to more black cavendish like BCA as the weather gets colder. I also find that I like RLP6 in the cold. Both are Lanes blends. I'm just not a big latakia fan.

Yeah I usually shift from summer time Virginia mode to cool weather time latakia mode. Find myself smoking more and more English blends as the temperature drops.

I find myself switching between the harsher lat bomb blends and smoother cavendish blends, just depending where I am. Lat bombs for outside to warm me up. and cavendish blends for that smooth hot cocoa feel when I'm sitting in my nice warm house
