What is your Favorite Halloween themed tobacco?
Fall is just a great time to smoke a pipe for me. I like that the tobacco companies have created Fall and Halloween theme blends to get us in the mood. (It is also a great marketing tool 😄). I would like to know what is your favorite Halloween themed blend. I’m gonna tell you my favorite aromatic and non-aromatic picks. On the aromatic side, I have to go with Sleepy Hollow. This years honorable mentions go to Warped Scarecrow, Creeper of the corn, and Sutliff Candy Apple but Sleepy Hollow is still better balanced in my book. On the non-aromatic side my pick is Haunted Bookshop. Ever since I first tried it I have enjoyed it. You have to give it a chance as it may feel rough the first time you try it but it grows on you fast. Let me know some of your favorites…

Watch City Rouxgaroux for non-aromatic, although it’s releasing tomorrow, 11/1 this year.
Creeper of the Corn surprised me this year, cinnamon roll with butter rum frosting, not too sweet or too much cinnamon and it doesn’t drown out the tobacco. Certainly not the blend of the century, but a pleasant change of pace.

As being readily available and as an entire series set, I'll have to go with C&D The Old Ones series like Perry said. I have them all in tins but I've yet to get to several of them. The ones I've smoked have all been fairly unique and seasonal. I've been smoking Warped Scarecrow quite a bit this Halloween season and it's great for the fall season but it's one of those really limited edition releases. Others on my list to be opened for the next few months include C&D Jolly Old St. Nicholas, C&D 2020 Golden Days of Yore (jarred), Miskatonic Mixture, Awakened Elder, and breaking out the jar of the Small Batch release of C&D From Beyond from last Halloween release. That one is much like an old tin of Dunhill Nightcap though and not got any seasonal flavoring.

I'm not aware of any Halloween themed tobaccos available in the UK - none that I can think of anyway. I must go check and see.

Those are actually pretty nice looking pipes. They've got them on the US Smokingpipes site as well. I have a couple Rattray's pipes. Comparable to Peterson, I think. You just have to be in the market for a 9mm filter. |

Now that is a lovely pipe! A bit outside my price-range, but gorgeous nonetheless. |

Strauss Sleepy Hollow and Sutliff Pumpkin Spice are the two I keep.
They're both good and I can't say one or the other is the favorite.
