Opened up the tin of Peterson holiday blend 2011. I smoke outside, but apparently it did waft in the house (no wonder with 20 family members running in and out). They all loved the smell. Taste: dang it's sweet. Fruitcakey, candied fruit like. At the end a little bitter, but good.. Like a candied lemon rind. Just lit up another bowl in a different pipe. It's interesting that the taste is less sweet or prominent now. It's festive in any case ;-)
