Holiday/Seasonal Blends
I'm going to try to pick up a tin or three of some christmas blend pipe tobacco and need recommendations. What have you tried and liked? What have you tried and not liked? Beyond christmas blends are there other seasonal blends I should be aware of?

Tsuge made the four seasons line that is now out of production but you can still find it with a little looking. C&D makes an aro called autumn evening.
Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening must have fall blend
C&D Monster Mash
C&D We Three Kings
C&D Corncob Pipe and a Button Nose
C&D Golden Days of Yore
Peterson’s can no longer be bought in the US but can be found overseas at a high price
Kolhasse & Kopp can no longer be bought in the US hard to find
Rattrays may not be made anymore or it can’t be bought in the US
Sister site of Ccom called P&C:
Cavendish in the Woods
Snow Drift
Candy Cane Cocoa
several others. All above mentioned I enjoy regularly and stock up on.
The C&D Christmas offerings used to change to a new name yearly but due to the worthless FDA C&D remade the last three years so get it while you can. I have some We Won’t Go Til We Get Some too from 4 years ago.
Many pipe shops have have their own holiday blends.
At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
McCelland Holiday Spirit comes out yearly but it is the same exact blend unlike some of their other yearly tobaccos that are new blends each year but under the same name.
Might I add Sutliff Christmas Spice to the list. Bought some in bulk and it is fantastic. I do not care for their Pumpkin Spice at all but the Christmas Spice is wonderful.
