Hi Phil,
Port or Brandy with... an After Eight Mint! (or more cheese! bring on the stilton, yum!)
It all sounds wonderful, especially the Tempranillo (Red wine fanatic here!)
If you would like to try a cinnamon stick, you can find them in Tesco, Sainsburys etc. they will be in the Schwartz herbs and spices section, there will be about 4 sticks in a spice jar.
But really they are more a help in the early stages of quitting, they help as a dummy cig and also with deep breathing by pulling air through, don't try to light them though! I used them in my first six weeks or so.
I think I've also seen old posts here that cite some evidence that cinnamon may be a helpful substance in calming cravings.
The main use for the whole cinnamon sticks is for producing mulled wines and hot fruit punches, ground cinnamon is the type usually used in baking and cooking.
Enjoy your smoke free Christmas! :)
