Peretti Thanksgiving Day
(3.27)
A yearly blend for Thanksgiving. A ribbon/cube cut blend pressed together into four ounce cakes.
Notes: As many of our friends are aware, ‘Thanksgiving Day’, a four-ounce pressed cake has been a tradition since 1939. Year after year, we make it available in a limited capacity starting on November first. This effort keeps us tied to our roots when Major Joseph Peretti, father of Robert Peretti, set forth to blend Peretti’s Burley and English mixtures. The Major wanted to create a blend with the essence of the holiday season, and after countless trials, a mixture of 7 different tobaccos blended with a balance of dark rum and fruit juices was concocted and pressed into breakable 4 ounce cakes. This process has not changed since the first batch was taken from the press.

I got this in a trade over the summer and it was so dry I had to set it out on an ultra humid day then re-jar it. Not sure if it comes that way normally. I’ve heard it does. It was in its original packaging, a square baggy with scotch tape and a construction paper label. I only smoked one bowl but I’m going to review it anyway. Burns well stays lit with medium smoke output. Starts floral and soapy. I almost dumped it out at this point. As I smoke this blend farther down a sage like flavor pops up. It’s a welcome flavor because the soapy thing isn’t doin it for me. A couple times I thought maybe I detected a light pumpkin spice, but then it was washed out by soap and sage. Or maybe I just imagined it totally because of the name of the tobacco. The longer I smoked it the better it got. Some of the true tobacco flavor started to break through. Not enough for me to reach for this again though. I’d give 1.5 stars. It’s not terrible. On a side note. I got this in a trade, and I’m sure there is at least 1 year age on this, most likely more.

This is a blend you always see a big deal made about each October and November. Basically its a burley blend with some fruitiness to it.
It's not a bad blend, but to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what the fuss is about. I suspect this is one of those cases of the hype primarily coming from the fact of its named association with a holiday many Americans hold dear (positive association), and the fact that it is only released once per year (scarcity), thus making it more of a thing in some people's minds than it otherwise would be if it were just a standard offering from Peretti. If this were a standard offering and it was named something else, I doubt you'd see the same -- so kudos to the good folks at Peretti for some good marketing!
