*Great when fresh from tin but do not cellar the rest of the tin. This blend will not hold up once opened.* When fresh, this aromatic is a cube-cut burley that burns great and turns to a fine white ash. It delivers superior flavor and is quite unique. After cellaring the remainder of the tin from 2016, all flavor and aroma from the tobacco was long gone. I threw the cellared portion in the trash and will not cellar any Cornell & Diehl aromatics at all in the future.

For me was a pleasant evening smoke, but by the end of the bowl I had to go in and lay down. I seem to get nicotine headaches quite easily. I was hoping more for a Christmas spice but this one was more towards the hay and some cocoa flavor. Not really what I enjoy.

I found this to be good for an aromatic, but there are others I like better. It was pretty steady throughout the bowl, grassy with subtle notes of marshmallow, hot cocoa, and nutmeg. Overall a creamy, but haylike smoke.

Christmas blends are my favorite, I want to try them all, so I go into each Christmas blend with great expectations! Purchased in 2020, not the 2016 blend in title... I was a bit disappointed, as the tin note was not what I was expecting to smell from the products description. It wasn't bad, just not matching the product description. The flavoring was not bad either, but I didn't get "Christmas" from it. I did have some tounge-bite with this blend.
