Cornell & Diehl Jolly Old St. Nicholas

[Elric]

Drops tonight at 6:00 pm EST @ tobaccopipes.com

A largesse of St. Nick's personal smoking mixture, this magical blend combines the finest golden Virginias with mellow Black Cavendish and a whisper of genuine St. James Perique for complex tobacco flavor enhanced by notes of orange liqueur and hints of ginger — alluding to an early legend of Kris Kringle secretly gifting gold to a needful family.

Where is the announcement? Any idea if it’s similar to the 2018 blend? Perfect timing to throw another 2 or 3 back into the cellar.

Is it December or something?

Just an announcement on the tobaccopipes.com website.

New tin art too. I've got one jar of 2018 Jolly... left in the cellar. May have to order a couple more.

 

[fireground_piper]

I'll probably wait for SPC, but the description sounds the same. The 2018 label though was great looking.

I'll probably wait for SPC

Seeing how their sponsors here, I'll probably wait too.

Unless it's a tobaccopipes exclusive the way they did the Cup O Joe's exclusive blend a few years ago.

Crap. Good point. Oh, what a quandary.

What's really telling is that it's not shown up in either Cornell and Diehl nor Smokingpipes Instagram feed.

 

[fireground_piper]

Yeah it’s odd it’s not anywhere else but I still can’t imagine it won’t be everywhere.

It's tough waiting on blends and then you get thrown a curveball like this.

Scarecrow was only ever at SPC.

 

[AcesAndEights]

It’s on CoJ as well

Yeah but they are in the same corporate family. This is also a recurring holiday themed blend that hasn’t been exclusive before. I’d be pretty surprised if this holiday blend wasn’t the typical wide production.

If I miss out though, so be it!

 

[isaac]

Showed up on Cup O Joes and TobaccoPipes gram feed.

 

[kschatey]

Is it December or something?

No doubt. It's like they just decided to skip the Summer Solstice, Oktoberfest, Fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving blends!

 

[pappymac]

I still have three unopened tins from 2018

 

[STP]

I’m in for a few tins

 

[Swiss Army Knife]

Never tried the 2018 version but I've been pretty let down by C&D aromatics in the past particularly seasonal ones. Is St. Nick a standout?
