We are proud to offer our 2008 Christmas Cheer, an exceptionally fine vintage tobacco handblended and aged in pressed cakes to develop its natural mellowness. This 2008 blend is made with a special selection of beautiful, ripe, orange-red Old Belt Virginia from the 2000 crop. It is rich in flavor, pleasing in aroma, and high in natural sugar so it should age very well.
We present this 2008 Christmas blend in partially broken flakes so the smoker can rub them out to suit any situation. Savor the flavor as it develops throughout the smoke.
Each buying season, we search for tobaccos that possess superior quality and distinctive character. In various combinations, their flavors, aromas and textures contribute to overall excellence in our entire product line. The leaves of different crops and regions are blended to maintain consistency from year to year.
With Christmas Cheer, we treat our discriminating customers to the singular pleasure of a tasting of the very finest in tobaccos of a particular vintage, not worrying about maintaining the flavor and appearance of future generations of this product but actually striving instead to capture the unique character of a single crop and area.
That's what Christmas Cheer is all about. Happy sampling.
