Peretti Yuletide (2015)
(2.50)
Yuletide is a newer seasonal mixture that changes from year to year. This year (2015), we have created a blend of Virginia tobaccos with whispers of plum pudding and vanilla in the background. This blend is neatly packaged in 2 ounce cans. A perfect stocking stuffer for the pipe smoker.

L.J. Peretti's Yuletide is a seasonal blend that changes from year to year. The 2015 iteration is a blend of Virginias with just a hint of plum pudding and vanilla added and comes in 2oz. tins.
The Virginias in the blend are diverse. The mixture is mostly medium-brown in color, with some lighter bright Virginia strands and specks of black stoved leaf. It is slightly sweet, with a suggestion of the dryness that characterizes Peretti's matured Virginias usually found in their more-traditional English mixtures. The additional flavorings are only slightly noticeable in the taste, but they are decidedly more apparent in the room note. Without any chemical taste or sticky, goopy residue, the flavorings are all-natural--just as one would expect from Peretti.
Sure to garner compliments from even the staunchest anti-smoking olfactorries, Yuletide is the perfect tobacco for holiday gatherings (which no doubt is one of the principal motivations for all the various Christmas blends). Not only is Yuletide a crowd-pleaser, it still tastes like tobacco. I never smoke aromatics (apart from Peretti's equally festive Thanksgiving Day and some of their Burley blends), but I found this year's Yuletide to be a nice change of pace and a real Christmas treat.
