Sutliff Tobacco Company - Pumpkin Spice.
Pumpkin isn't all too common a food here in the UK, it only really appears at Halloween, where it gets the 'carved into a scary face' treatment. So, with that said, I have very little experience with how pumpkins' taste, but I fancied having a smoke of this anyway.
The mixture's rather coarse, especially the pieces of black Cavendish. There appears to be a greater amount of Virginia and Burley, in comparison. Straight from a fresh pouch it's too moist, mine needed quite a good airing. P.S. lights up relatively easily, and gives a flavour that's a bit tough for me to quantify: it's about the most savoury tasting aromatic I've piped. At first, the pumpkin seems a little fruity, and very vegetable-like. As others point out, there's a notable nutmeg topping, more-so at the beginning of a bowl. To my palate the Burley offers the most flavour out of the three tobaccos'; there's only a tiny proportion of vanilla cream from the black Cavendish, and next to nothing from the Virginia. This is a strange one: at the start of my first bowl I was sure the pumpkin seemed a little fruity, but after a few bowls I think it's like smoking a marrow/zucchini!
The nicotine's mild, and the room-note's a touch unpleasant.
I'm not exactly a fan of this one, but, I'll give it a 'somewhat recommended' instead of a 'not recommended' because of its inimitable quality.
Two stars.

Try not to think too much about the ''Pumpkin'' part and only focus on ''Spice''. The tin note is heavenly, smells so good that you wish you could have it as a perfume. The actual taste is much more subtle. The tobacco is still there, and you can definetly taste the respective properties of the Virginias and Burley. The spices that come to mind are predominently Nutmeg, with allspice and maybe some vanilla and cinnamon in the background. Overall a good transition to and from Aromatics.
Edit: I have been smoking this blend for a while now and decided to do an update since I was rather one sided at first. The flavor profile remains the same but the nicotine is just way too low for it to be a ''rewarding'' smoke. Don't get me wrong, I prefer flavor over nicotine, but a good blend, in my opinion, has enough of both. I'm gonna step this down a star, I still like it, but I can't sugarcoat a blend which I have a tendency to do. It could be good for blending with another aromatic, maybe ''Autumn Evening'' by C&D, otherwise it's nothing too special. Like I said, a good transition blend and tasty flavor. Give it a go, but don't expect a nicotine bomb.

You can definitely taste the pumpkin flavoring at the forefront, something i've never tasted in an aromatic, much less any pipe tobacco. The spices back up the pumpkin flavoring, even bringing it out a bit. It's decent, though I did need to relight it once or twice. I will try mixing this with Sutliff's coffee blend, and will update this review when I do so.

I like to smoke my tobaccos fairly dry, but aromatics tend to require a delicate balance: dry them out to 'normal' moisture, and you lose a lot of the flavor. Dry them too little and you wind up steaming your tongue or getting a soggy pipe.
Pumpkin Spice is a decent blend if you're an aromatic smoker. I'm far from a devoted aromatic guy, and I find PS to be pretty goopy. Decent flavor and wonderful room note, but it's not very enjoyable for me, even when I'm looking for an aromatic. I do find a 50/50 blend of PS and Lane 1-Q to be much more pleasant.
It's not a blend I like to smoke often, but it's nice once or twice a year (esp. when mixed with 1-Q), and it has a room note that will make you popular. Cautiously recommended.

Another step in my journey to find a tobacco I enjoy to smoke and my wife enjoys to smell. She loves pumpkin spice stuff, so I figured I’d give this a shot. First, I’ll say, right up front, this wasn’t amazing. Just middle of the road. With that, I’ll let you know what I noticed. I will say I did pick up nice pumpkin spice flavors throughout the first half of the smoke; both in my mouth and in the room. The cavendish came through with a dark sweetness. Other than these few notes, I didn’t pick up much. The majority of the smoke was just there; which I suppose would be a bonus, if you are sitting out back talking to your wife and not trying to contemplate the subtleties of the burning weed in your bowl. For me, this is mediocre. It is just there, with a little pumpkin spice on top.

Package note of cinnamon, banana liquor, and mild allspice. Tobacco is rough cut black and dark brown. Very wet and sticky, needs extensive drying. Burns slow with many relights. The strength is mild and nic is mild. Flavoring is medium, with notes of cinnamon, sweet liquor, and spices. Flavor stays long into the smoke. Taste is mild to medium and very consistent, with notes of toasted marshmallow, wood, spiced bread, sweet, dry earth, floral, herbal vegetation, nuts, molasses, zest, tart dark fruit, orange peel, tangy stewed fruit, a brown sugar background note, and a smooth retro. Cavendish and Flavoring are leading with Burley and Virginia supporting. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good.

This seasonal-focused recipe stands with a dark complexion of elegantly trimmed Virginia ribbon mottled with delightful tufts of coarse cut Burley and Black Cavendish.
A sweet fragrant parade of assorted spice dominates the rather colorful nose. With the ensuing registration I get a characterization of whole pumpkin of course, bitter cinnamon, all spice, and a little kiss of mint. Burning cool without any trace of bite, the taste profile is largely showcased by the Great Pumpkin as one would expect. It is deliciously accented by a mix of sweeter churned spiciness, brown sugar/honey, vanilla, and a little happy zest from the cinnamon.
Not much to speak of on the native tobacco. The room note imparted is rather light and pleasantly sweet. This initial tasting seems to indicate a suitability of feel for the fall season. One bowl in, mind you, not stellar yet enjoyable all the same.
