Holiday Tobacco Recommendations

[cortezattic]

Do you have a particular blend that you enjoy around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays?

I'd like to expand my holiday pipe celebrations by getting your recommendations. Here are some of mine:
The first two have deertongue, which always reminds me of the holidays:

H&H's Capitol Stairs

4noggins' Mojo, by Matt Robillard
Two Friends' Valle Crucis, by Tarler & Pease

H&H's Grandma's Kitchen
Also, has anyone tried Russ Ouellettes's Pumpkin Cheesecake?

Try Egg Nog, it's a good holiday blend..I like it anytime..it is a tobacco with a good after taste.

Peterson normally offers a Holiday aromatic. It's typically pricey -- I think around $22 this year, but very high quality.

The two aromatics I have been smoking lately that fit good with the holiday season are MacBarens 7 Seas Royal and Vanilla Custard by Altadis. I like Vanilla Custard so much I ordered 4 ounces of the stuff, and I never buy that much bulk tobacco at one time.

While I was at Georgetown Pipe and Tobacco I picked up some Christmas Morning and was impressed with it. Cool, spicy and a warm vanilla. You can get it online at GTPAT

Holiday Spirit is a really good blend. I don't like Aro's too much, Only a very few and Holiday is on my list of likes.

MacBaren Plumcake usually tops my holiday smoke list. C&D Crooner and some brandy in front of the fireplace works pretty good too.

I know it doesn't sound especially holiday oriented, but I was planning on reliving Christmas Past so to speak, by picking up some Cherry Berry from Fader's here in Baltimore. I got some from my Dad for Christmas in '81, and it was my first non drugstore baccy experience, and I'd like to celebrate the 30th anniversary with it

Has any one tried this years Christmas blend from Peterson? I've enjoyed all the blends of theirs I have tried, but it seems this one is only available in 100g tins.

 

[Strike Anywhere]

I thought Peterson's Christmas Blend was always in 100g tins. Anyway, yes, I've ordered a tin. It smells great, but I haven't smoked any yet. I would say the tin description very accurately describes the tin note.

I must stand with those who vote for Holiday Spirit by McClelland. I just popped the lid on the tin I purchased earlier this year in anticipation of the upcoming holidays. It smells terrific and is a fine aromatic smoke... ::

Hilo!??!?!? Where you been?
I have a tin of Holiday Spirit that I was waiting to try until Black Friday. I think I can hold out for one more week.
