Yuletide (2018)

The 2018 edition of Yuletide brings back the plum note seen in earlier years of the series. Records indicate the flavoring is applied with a noticeably heavier hand onto a base of Virginia and Cavendish leaf; in this respect it is a more sweetened blend than the 2015 edition.

The Cavendish proportion softens the smoke and increases sweetness, while Virginia holds the acid balance underneath. It suits smokers seeking a plum-forward, seasonal, medium-intensity aromatic.
