Alright so I will be totally honest here. I have always been and will always be a VA smoker first and foremost. I just opened this tin from 2000 and it's from the 96 crop. This stuff has a bit of age on it and I really like it. Very smooth with all the wonderfull taste. no it's not as in your face as a tin of the 08 is but that is not the point when opening an aged tin. This stuff is easier to smoke and you do not have to worry one bit about tongue bite. not one little bit! so good. IMO worth every penny of the $40 price tag I see around. I would recomend buying two or three of each year as they come out and lay them back. Buy some FVF too. Age it and enjoy!

There's not much to add after the other fine reviews. This is simply one of the absolute best VA flakes I have ever smoked. It's a light to medium bodied virginia (broken) flake with plenty of natural sweetness. I've just finished off another tin and have only one more aging, which makes me sad. All of the Christmas Cheer offerings are excellent, so pick some up, let them age, and enjoy!
According to McC, this is an orange-red flue cured VA from a 1996 crop harvested near Danville.

I purchased a 100 gram tin 4 years ago and opened it several months ago. This is a fantastic tobacco and i will buy all the Christmas Cheer I can find here in Canada of any vintage year. I have only enough left for one more pipeful. I noticed that some reviewers said it was costly. I would like to say that if they would buy it in Canada they would have a real understanding of the cost if they could even locate a tin! I paid $30.00 for my tin 4 years ago - plus tax. I just located a tin (2006) vintage, and the price is $50.00 plus tax! Now that is costly. I will buy it, because a great tobacco is priceless. I would love to hear feedback on this. The way things are going now, my tobacco collection is surpassing the price of my pipe collection which includes Dunhill's, Cooke and other fine pieces.

Not much to add except that I opened my tin 12/22/04. I smoked this pretty much rubbed out. Six of my pipe smoking friends shared this last night. It has been our annual tradition for the last several years to share a can of Christmas Cheer between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Delightful.
