I've never done any "seasonal" blends. Just whatever I've had open at any given time.

Peretti's Thanksgiving blend is well worth smoking. I just called Boston and was told they will be selling it, as usual beginning November 1st. |

Sigh... Did Jim create a new Penzance situation?

Only if people can be led blindly without having any ... Oh, wait.

I have an unopened tin of C&D 'Chestnuts Roasting' Christmas Blend from 2012. I just might open that one for the holidays.

I am pretty cellared on my Holiday Blends. From Thanksgiving until January I do all sorts of stuff I normally don't do: Eat cookies from parts of the third world. Drink hot cocoa. Let my older brother talk me into some Kentucky Bourbon. That's what older brothers are for, right? |

"Sleepy Hollow" by Straus Tobacco is an excellent seasonal blend. They only make it around this time of the year.

I've been getting tobacco from Peretti since the 70s. They know their burleys. Interestingly, Earnie Q from Watch City Cigar in Framingham, MA used to work there. He certainly blends up some delicious tobaccos also. He's a character to boot. A great guy to chew the fat with in person. |

Here is the resulting haul I bought from the responses. There were more I wanted to try, but I felt I should save some TAD for another day. haha Suttliff- Holiday Mixture 4oz, Mulled Wine (last 2oz they had), Champagne 4oz, and a half-pound of Pumpkin Spice. Should have gotten a pound of the Pumpkin and the Holiday Mixture- Both are great. The tins C&D- Corn Cop Pipe and McClelland- 2017 Holiday Spirit. I also had to grab a tin of McClelland Anniversary, just because I want to see that great looking tin on the tobacco shelf. And of course, I hope to get my hands on some Thanksgiving Day in the near future- I look forward to racing you all to it. haha Thank you, everyone for the great suggestions.  .  . |

I have always been interested in getting a holiday blend, but am afraid of being disappointed like I am with most aromatics. Maybe I will bite the bullet and snag one this year.
As a fan of Glühwein, the Mulled Wine sounds very interesting.
