Christmas blends

[Ajsnow93]

I don't know where to find that kind of news so I came to you my friends. Have you heard about any new Christmas blends that will be out soon? Are there any blends that reappear every year during the festive days?

C&D We Three Kings
Peretti's Yuletide
Park-Lane Christmas Morning

Somebody mentioned that Smoking Pipes will supply a tin of their (?) holiday blend with purchase of a new Peterson.

I have some "Holly King" on the way from The Storyteller's Pipe!

Good news is both Kohlhase & Kopp and Rattray's have new Winter Blends out.
Bad news if you're in the U.S., you have to order from Europe.

I think it's cool that blenders make these blends for those like holiday specific blends. But, I'm not necessarily the type that wants hints of nutmeg or cloves in my tobacco. So, I just take one of these holiday stickers and put it over the label on something I already have open on Christmas day. It's like a DIY holiday blend.

C&D We Three Kings, and Sutliff’s Christmas Spice is a good bulk blend.

Since McClelland stopped there isn't a good Christmas blend. Lol. I kid. Cringle Flake is about as Christmas blend as I get. Although Park Lane has a Christmas cake they do every year that I enjoy a few bowls of before I cellar the rest and then usually forget about until just after the new year the following year.

I have some C&D Jolly Old St. Nocholas, Golden Days of Yore and Corn Cob Pipe and a Button Nose that I enjoy. I wait until December 1st to smoke any Christmas blends.

Yeah, you gotta wait until December 1st to pop your Christmas blends. Any number of Xmas blends will be out then.

The country squire’s Figgy Pudding is pretty darn good.

Watch City usually releases Double Barrel for the holidays as well.

Their Christmas blends have always been one time things. "Double Barrel" was just their 2020 holiday offering just as for 2019 they released "Spill'sbane - An Ozark Wizard Joint."

Good to know, thanks for the correction.

In that case:
Watch City will release some one time thing for the holidays as well.

Without a doubt.? I would like to see a repeat of their 2016 "The 4th Nun" though.

Can’t believe I forgot Boswell’s Christmas Cookie ? (good stuff?)

Some everyday blends are well suited for Christmas.

Wilke Rum Cake
Watch City Slices
Lane Ready Rubbed
Sutliff Ready Rubbed Match
Stokkebye Cube Cut
English Chocolate

In trying to get the holiday scent in the air, blenders sometimes use flavorings that may give chemical burns to some smokers. I like the concept of McC's Christmas Cheer blends, which was just a very good blend with no odd flavorings. A good robust English is Christmasy enough for me.

Gawith Rum Flake is a great Christmas time blend and Peterson always used to release something before the pandemic hit.
