Cornell & Diehl Golden Days of Yore
(2.55)
Every year Cornell & Diehl produces a Christmas blend inspired by a classic Christmas carol. For 2015, they've hearkened back to those "golden days" with Golden Days of Yore — a festive mix of red and bright Virginias, black Cavendish, dark-fired Kentucky, and Katerini... and more. A unique aromatic mixture, it's all married together with hints of ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and chocolate and topped with a dash of the best dark rum from Santa's secret stash.

Very nice aromatic. I only got to try one bowl sample of this, but enjoyed it. Upon lighting I got a little harshness, but after that a spiced Christmas cookie or fruitcake flavor with a touch of rum came through, and was very nice. I'm definitely considering this for a future tin purchase now. Recommended.
