Hearth & Home's Egg Nog is a bite-free blend that will please anyone in the room. Let the rum, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg bring the holidays to you all year long.
In light of other reviews, I may of gotten a bad batch. Hard to imagine something that smelled so good "in the tin" lost it's taste and smell when lit. Your mileage my varry.
If you desire a moderately sweet aromatic that tastes exactly as it smells, Egg Nog is something you should try. Buy a single tin and experiment with it a bit to see if it works with you and your pipes. Personally, I love this blend, but it can prove to be an unruly, peppery beast if you draw on it too hard or try to smoke it in a pipe with a narrow airway. The room note is always divine, however, and the taste is something like eating a slice of French Toast with maple syrup while you are seated at a freshly polished reading table in your personal library....Read More
First, I have to say that I wouldn’t consider this to be strictly a holiday blend as it was a good all-around, everyday smoke, however it could fill that void as a holiday blend for some.

I knew this tobacco would become one of my favorite as soon as I opened the tin... I spent the holidays working in the Bahamas and it just didn't seem like Christmas in the tropical island paradise. That is, until I fired up my Bing's Favorite with Hearth and Home's Egg Nog! I found this tobacco to be a very mild, bite-free blend with an aroma that even Santa would love. To many, the holidays begin with the sound of the first Christmas carol. But for me, my holidays commence with my first bowl of "Egg Nog". I highly recommend it!!
