You can only get the blend if you come to the concert though.

a special like this works because some people are having trouble choosing between two or three pipes, some people are on the fence but more then anything it will make people spend more on a pipe then they would have without the special. Like I was going to buy an Aran but instead got one of the more expensive ones. So basically they make more money doing this special and it wouldn't really work the same if you could buy a tin of the tobacco. 
2019 they sold all 4 (?) Wintertime Blends around the holidays. I sampled them and enjoyed Hearthside and Evergreen, an 'American' and Va/Per blend respectively; would've gladly stocked up on some if they still had them on offer.
But I too refuse to be bullied into buying a pipe

Hearthside is still available at Hearthside - Cornell & Diehl Pipe Tobacco | Smokingpipes.com - https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipe-tobacco/cornell-diehl/Hearthside-2oz/product_id/3549292019 they sold all 4 (?)

Selling the pipe is their ultimate goal in this particular case. Pipes have a much higher markup.
So....has anyone tried any of this year's special blends?
The Spiced Latte sounds very similar to last spring's St. Patrick's day blend.

Isn't SP, C&D and Peterson all owned by Laudisi?
Might explain the WHY. Just a promo item to encourage you to buy a pipe from them.
Love SP and C&D, but Peterson, yeah not so much.

Dear C&D,
Why can't you buy J. F. Germain & Son and increase their production by 100 times? While you are at it, can you prioritize the shipments to the USA? Being on the Jersey Islands has been a quant custom but they have clearly outgrown the need to stay, so pick up the whole thing and move it to just outside Chicago. That way I can visit the factory and just pick up what I want. Don't move it inside Chicago even though Chicago was voted Best Big City by Condé Nast Traveler five years in a row! (Yeah! Can you believe it? As it turns out LA and San Francisco's decision to let drug addled vagrants put up tents and defecate on the sidewalks really made us shine by comparison. It's also possible none of the voters ever visited Paris) The political demagogues will find a way to tax it right into the ground with their reason being "for the children!" We all know how much school aged kids love them some stoved and pressed Virginias.

You make some valid points about Germain & Sons. There isn't a logical reason why their blends can't be made somewhere in the U.S.
I still can't figure out the whole Chicago as the Best Big City thing. I think someone in Chicago has "bought" Condé Nast.
I get that and was surprised myself. But like most cities, if you only count the areas where the vast majority of visitors would actually see, it's a very nice, very livable, fairly clean city. The lake front is beautiful and Chicago has done a great job keeping the vast majority of it open as public spaces. Tourists aren't likely to see the parts of the city where you are likely to get shot or mugged. Most Chicagoans don't even go to those areas. Daily did a lot to clean it up to make it an Olympic voteable city and we're seeing the results of that even now. That being said, I've been to Paris and from a historical and architecture standpoint, I'm not sure how we beat them though its been 15 years since I've been there.
