Got my Christmas tobacco out and ready to smoke this holiday season. What are you all smoking as the weather turns cooler (in Canada and the northern US at least!)?
Ready for Christmas!

Waiting to see what I get from SS and then I'll decide.
I'm a fan of Boswell's Christmas Cookie as well. And I don't usually smoke aromatics. But this one is significantly above average.
I smoke it each year when cutting our Christmas tree with the kids. It's a tradition they always remind me to fulfill.

Gosh, so many...too many to name. But in the aromatic category, I'll give a fairly loose top three of H&H Caramel Apple Pie, Lane BCA, and Mac Baren Vanilla Cream.
Weather permitting on all of the above, of course!

Been hitting the Figgy Pudding and We Three Kings.
Mostly the same as the rest of the year.
was gifted a tin of WTK from a Forum Member , wife says I cant crack it till Christmas day, Dont want cracked tins on the plane so I guess that works...Excited to try it , I don't do Aro's but I hear its not like most
2020 Cringle Flake here.
When that’s gone I’ll grab a tin of Christmas Cheer out of the cellar.

I tend to smoke what's open and in use. I took three major Christmas boxes to ship to the P.O. and played the time wrong and ended up in a line of about 25 or 30 people, so it was a wait. One woman, way in front of me, had a sort of A-frame box with screened air holes that was labeled "live birds." Can you imagine shipping those through the post at Christmas? Looked like doom for the birds, whatever they were. Luckily, I had brought my boxes in on my trusty hand cart, so I didn't have to slide them along the dirty floor nor keep picking them up to move in the line. The clerks kept the line moving, and thanked me for my patience, and I thanked them for their hard work. Christmas time is neigh.
The bill for all three boxes was under fifty bucks, so at today's prices, scheduled to get there well before Christmas, I think I did okay.

Well, I just posted in the SS thread, and per my comments there, I may try Picayune this season. I've also some 2021 Cringle Flake I've not tried yet, and I'm sure I spied a tin of We Three Kings on my shelf, also new to me. One or all of these will certainly be on the palate before the winter solstice.
Ha. Th
ha. That’s so festive of you. I got Cringle flake of course but aside from that, never had a Christmas blend. I saw some pretty amped up tins on Bremen Piper’s channel over in Germany. really large, going all out branding there. Most are aromatics it seems so I’ve passed on a good bit of these so far.
I'm open to learning anything I can about it. I have read some TR opinions and that's all I know. Sounds good though.
Specifically, I'm wondering if now's a good time to go ahead and open it - I'm certainly game to do so!
I still have some Cringle Flake from 2021, and I also just popped a jar of The Country Squire's Figgy Pudding from last year. The Figgy Pudding has aged REALLY well!
Between the week of Thanksgiving and New Year's Day I smoke my Christmas pipes and Christmas blends. Not exclusively but it's the only time I do so. In the rotation is Figgy Pudding and Cordial Friends from The Country Squire. Christmas Cookie from Boswells. Cringle Flake and Christmas Cheer and the like.
This is the time of year I break out my aromatics.
The smell of pine needles and pipe smoke in the morning reminds me of family.
Merry Christmas
