Well - I popped the top on my Bourbon Barrel aged PP from late 2021. I didn't realize there would be a cube of wood from a bourbon barrel in the tin! Light rub and 10 minutes of dry time (that's a lot at when the relative humidity is 15%). Tin note was fantastic, dark fruits, earthy funk. Smoking in my Sav Clark's favorite (that's a real beaut Clark!). Sipping black coffee @Simmerdown☕️ and I am really liking this stuff! Spicy with clove, nutmeg, pepper and a touch of star anise, a rich sweetness like molasses and cedar in a big way. The finish is goes on forever with sweetness and spice lingering. I will smoke this up and I am glad I have another tin to age and I will be buying more to age.

NATIONAL PLUM PUDDING DAY
Also known as Christmas pudding, National Plum Pudding Day celebrates a traditional holiday dessert. On February 12th, learn about this tasty treat with an interesting history.Plum pudding is made by steaming or boiling and the pudding is usually served during the holiday season. Interestingly, many of the recipes don’t even contain any plums. One explanation given is that during the 17th century, plums were referred to as raisins or other fruits.
I like plum pudding and about to smoke a pipe…but I’ve been thinking about 965 all week so that’s what I’m about to smoke.
I received a 2011 tin of Plum Pudding during the 2021 Secret Santa Exchange. I decided to hold off and open it today, which coincidentally, is also my youngest sons birthday.
I have all the variants except special reserve, however i haven’t had the urge to smoke them yet. I do have the urge to eat a piece every time I smell it though. Smells like mesquite smoked hickory
HAPPY PLUM PUDDING DAY Y’ALL !
(had MacBuren Plum Pudding and gave it away to the homeless —not a fan of anything that smells and tastes like cigarettes )
As Anglicans, we make plum pudding (aka "figgy pudding" or "Christmas pudding") every Stir-up Sunday (aka "Sunday Next Before Advent"), and pray the collect for that Sunday (the opening words of which, "Stir up we beseech thee..." are the day's namesake, and the double entendre to "stirring up" plum pudding on that day). The kids each make a wish while giving "The Pud" (as it is known around here) a stir. I douse it in generous amounts of liquor (traditionally brandy, but I'm a bourbon kind of guy), and put it away in a cool, dark place for five weeks, to be eaten over Christmastide.
In light of this tradition, I have absolutely no idea how February 12 became "Plum Pudding Day."
P.S. I also like all three versions of PP-the-tobacco quite a bit. Maybe I'll have a bowl.

It's about the dessert and not the Seattle merchandise.

I know. The question stands. Another way to ask it is how does one get a "national day" added to the calendar that you linked to and why should anyone care?It's about the dessert and not the Seattle merchandise.
