Christmas Morning

Christmas Morning is one of the aromatic shop mixtures blended under its own name by Georgetown Tobacco, founded in Washington by David Berkebile in 1964. According to the maker's description, it's a mild aromatic with a raspberry accent added over dark Cavendish; it takes its name from its reference to Christmas morning and is sold loose in 2-ounce and 16-ounce measures.

Because of its Cavendish-heavy structure, nicotine is light and the smoke has a round texture; the fruity sweetness is what stands out. Suited to those accustomed to aromatic mixtures wanting a light, sweet all-day smoke, as well as those stocking up on seasonal blends. Given the moist structure typical of aromatic tobaccos, it calls for slow, cool smoking and regular relighting.
