Let's See That Knowledge

[AJL67]

About 10 or 12 years ago when I first started smoking a pipe someone sent me a bunch of tobaccos, one of those was a holiday blend, I have zero idea what it was, to be honest i barely remember anything about it other than it was a holiday blend, it came in a large Xmas festive rectangular tin and the tobacco was in a clear crispy cello bag. I think the tin of red and or blue and it was a berry holiday blend. I'm a lot of help aren't I? I suppose i would need to see pictures of the tin to job my memory, this has been driving me up the walls for the last week.

When i say a large rectangular tin I mean large, much larger even than a 660 flake tin.

I've googled Hearth and Home and a few other things yet nothing like I remember.

Sounds like it could be a WO Larsen special edition/yearly thing.

the box size seems right but i would remember a cool box like that and i think it was a much more available blend

I'm guessing a W.O. Larsen blend as well...............

If you google KK holiday blends and go to images you will see just about every tin ever produced which might help

I checked out images of their holiday tins and just didn't click-damn I feel like there was a house on the tin with lights in the widows and things, but then that Petersons tin kind of looked familiar ... I think i sent all that tobacco to a friend as i got into cigars and it was more my thing, i should text him and see if he still has the box.

I was thinking it’s a Peterson holiday blend. I remember liking the 2015 berry blend mentioned above a few posts.

I'm thinking that was it so I'm just going to pretend it was that one (yah like that's going to work).

That sounds like the fruitcakes that used to make their unwanted appearance(s) in my house every December. Perhaps I should have tried smoking one because my memories of eating them are not great.

I remember those fruitcakes used to show up at my house too........ I kicked most their asses, but a few of the long-haired ones got away..... I think they was on the dope or something........
I never smoked with any of them though........... those fruitcakes was always smokin the funny stuff.

Wow I totally forgot about these until now. I never tried any but the tin art was always fun to see.

They have a few on display here at Arlington Pipe and Cigar. I bought one of the 2014 a few years back and it was like you say - wrapped in thin cellophane and dry as a bone.
