Product: Seattle Pipe Club Christmas Spirit 2022 4oz
Unlike some reviewers here, I got to actually try this at the LVIPS and it certainly is not like regular Plum Pudding. And this blend was created by the late Joe Lankford, Russ (assuming Ouilette) isn’t involved so I’m not sure what that reviewer is ... Read More

If you don't like the price, then don't buy it. You all sound like a bunch of babies crying over first world problems. Maybe don't be poor and you can afford it. I've never had a bad tin from SPC. C&D is definitely trash and I stopped buying thei... Read More

Hey Russ, stop with the BS gimmicks man. These guys are trying to cash out as much as they can before they are shut out, and they are gouging pipe smokers. This is regular plum pudding, nothing more. Stop with this crap or you will lose big

ENOUGH!

Product: Seattle Pipe Club Christmas Spirit 2022 4oz
I hope this backfires tremendously. Between this extremely overpriced gouge, and and the C&D scams of limited releases, you have very little concern for your customers.
Shame on whoever priced this...

I’m sorry to contribute to the non-review train but it seems like some clarification is needed because people are not reading closely. This tin is double the price of the bourbon barrel aged version for a reason: it contains double the amount of toba... Read More
cco. Did more people not realize this is a 4oz tin? This tin is not much more expensive than other SPC 4oz products, or I should say “was” since it’s sold out. I’ll let you know how it tastes. Read Less

Got this from a friend overseas.
In true SPC fashion, they have created something that reminds me of an american christmas. Nothing like what we have here in Denmark.
It is savory, sweet and like the rum or whisky barrel variant, you can definitel... Read More
y taste the cognac.
For me, the latakia and perique takes the front, specially the perique, but essensially that comes down to the individual smoker, packing etc.
I see a lot of people complain about the price. I do agree, that yes almost $40 is a bit steep, compared to what you get. However, I would compare that to any of the Esoterica blends. Overhyped and overpriced.
For what this blend is, I'll recommend going with the SPC Bourbon Barrel instead. Not only do you get more for the money (2 tins for the price of this limited one), but the bourbon pairs better with the latakia. Read Less

$39.10 for a 4oz. tin of pipe tobacco, seriously?
Lets see...$39.10 for a 4oz. tin. If I were to buy 4 tins, which would be 1 pound. I would be paying $156.40 a pound. But wait I can get a price break if I were to buy 5 tins for $37.93 a tin. That wo... Read More
uld bring it down to only
$151.72 a pound. If it were the finest pipe tobacco blend ever produced I could not justify prices like this for pipe tobacco. So I'll have to pass on this. I wish you well on your sales. Read Less

It just adds a little bit of wine, although it's not a bad thing. But if you change the packaging, the same plum pudding will be hyped up and charge more dollars. It's shameful.
Nice, but all so similar.

Tin 477 of 1200, dated 10/21/22, has tin notes of smoky fermentation, alcohol, and sweet fruit. The black and dark brown firm crumble plug is somewhat moist but breaks apart and rubs out with a little effort. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The... Read More
strength is mild to medium and nic is mild to medium. Flavoring is mild sweet alcohol and dissipates rather quickly. Taste is medium and consistent, with complex notes of smoky wood, dry earth, sour herbs, spicy, floral vegetation, stewed spice fruits, sweet grass, bread, mild tart sugar plum, a lemon peel background note, and a spicy retro. Latakia and Orientals are leading with Virginias Cavendish and Perique supporting when needed. Flavoring (VSOP) starts off a supporter but fades to the background quickly and then disappears. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less

taneously robust and delicate. It burns cool, no bite, smokey, sweet, and it eerily perfect. I had been unable to enjoy my pipe for about a month and was losing my interest in the hobby, this totally reinvigorated my love of pipes and pipe tobacco. If I could smoke this exclusively for life I would. It’s absolutely magnificent. 5 star ⭐️ but my finger wouldn’t register above 4.5 😂 Read Less
Maybe the perfect Christmas blend.

I like Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Special Reserve. A lot. I like this better. The VSOP elevates it to a new, higher level. I bought 3 tins. Man, I wish I’d bought more. It’s gonna be a struggle to make this last ‘til next year.
