I enjoy Peterson's Holiday Season. Still working on some from 2016. I don't believe they released any last year though. I hope that does not continue.

Wilke Rumcake blend is my Hanukkah blend...works for me👍 For me last years Peretti’s Thanksgiving blend had a odd chemical taste!!

Not only that, it was a limited edition each year of a single crop of the very best Virginia available. And the tin you referenced has 17 years of age on it. It's ready to be enjoyed. You can't buy time. |

McClelland's Holiday Spirit is my favorite. I have enough for several years if I only smoked it at Christmas. But it's just too darn good not to smoke it at least once a week.
I bought the Peterson Holiday Season in 16 and it's been sealed in the jar ever since. Like Orange Passion, it comes in a pretty tin and tastes like potpourri.

I got nothing because I have not as of yet been a holiday pipe smoker so I'll be watching this closely

Appreciate your kindness, but what two of my doctors are telling me, “ your small fiber poly neuropathy is spreading rapidly “! Already took out one kidney and damaged the other. Also adrenal gland issues now. I take one day at a time...no worries here👍 |

Ted, so sorry to hear that news. With all the prayers that are being offered up for you, we'll be having that Christmas Cheer smoke yet.
You, me and AJ together...we'll be having that smoke.

...not a Christmas blend, but I always make it a point to smoke a huge bowl of Esoterica's "And So to Bed" on Christmas Eve, and then a bowl of Dunhill "Aperitif" on Christmas morning...

I can barely write with my hand anymore... Martin, very sorry to hear you too are also suffering from neuropathy, can be quite debilitating at times! I too am suffering from other ailments caused by small fiber poly neuropathy, which I was told by two of my doctors “ your type of neuropathy will get worse rapidly, it can/will cause failure too other organs as well “! Hopefully both of us will see better days ahead. Feel well my friend, for I understand exactly what you have to deal with on a daily basis!!! |

C&D usually releases a Christmas blend in the fall. They've had some good ones over the years.
Ted, your news is most distressing. I'll be thinking of you often and wish for better things in the near future. I also have some neuropathy as a result of Type 2 diabetes. Something I'm working very hard to improve through diet and exercise. Stay strong and positive

Is aperitif akin to a Christmas blend? I've never had a "Christmas Blend" of any kind, so I couldn't answer your question. |

I will order a newer tin of the one I posted to have to add to the collection. I know we probably won’t be able to get more of it but always nice to have when you want to enjoy.

17yrs in the tin that's a long time and the starting bid is only 75.00! I think I'll pass and see what I can come up with locally first. |
