Cornell & Diehl Mixture Monster
(3.80)
"Across the New World a darkness brews, While hanging tobacco emits its flues. A rich Cavendish blend both dark and light, With apple, caramel, and chocolate in sight. Four new designs to frighten and scare, It's Mixture Monster, the world prepare!"
Halloween blend? Yes, Halloween blend. We decided that while everyone seems to have Christmas covered, ol' Hallow's Eve was unjustly neglected. C&D agreed, and so churned us up a witch's brew of rich black and light Cavendish and eye of newt, sweetened with aromas of appropriate treats - chocolate, caramel, and apples.
Notes: And for the trick? The order is four different ghoulish tin-art designs. This 'Demon' design is 1 of 4. The 'Zombie' design is 2 of 4. The 'Butcher' design is 3 of 4. The 'Lycan' design is 4 of 4.

Conclusion: Aged just roughly four months, this is a review of the second edition - Monster Mixture II. A confectionary blend that satisfies one's sweet tooth. A mechanically fine tobacco of medium strength that I can greatly recommend to those looking for an aromatic, this is a nice one.
Taste: Smells of synthetic strawberry in tin, fruity and sweet, kind of like the swedish christmas candy "Tomteskum". Tastes like strawberry, honey and caramel, quite heavily so, throughout the entire bowl. I did not pick up any apple or cocoa, but can see how they added to the sweetness and fruityness. I would say the flavouring is a medium, with C&D Autumn Evening and my reference heavy one, but still this is really sweet. The last third or so starts to show off some grassy notes from the virginia, however the burley remains undetected in taste but is present in feel - a slight pepper-ish tingle on the tongue. The finish reminds me of that slightly ashy taste of burley, so i guess it adds to that as well.
Mechanics: Burns clean and needs virtually no relights after some drying. It burns down to a fine grey ash, does not bite and strength is about a mild medium.
