Straus Tobacco Sleepy Hollow
(3.58)
Cinnamon spice with strong notes of pumpkin and warm bread. Mild vanilla right behind the pumpkin. Has a nice smokiness on the finish.

I would not say that I am an aromatic smoker by any means, however, this stuff is fantastic. I finally pulled the trigger on some of this wonderful blend this past September and have resolved to by a full 8 ounces next September.
With the first light, I get an immediate flavor of molasses, vanilla, and a bit of light spice (nutmeg?). The bowl settles down quickly and will continue to give off the aforementioned flavors, but adds in some subtle nuances about midway through the bowl. I can, at times, get a hint of the pumpkin in the blend, but it is not consistent. This has to be the sweetest blend I 've smoked in a long time, but it is sweet in a good way. It's not a chemical taste at all.
The only caveat I would give is this: It needs a tremendous amount of drying time. I am one who likes a little more moisture to my tobacco that other people, but this one is soaking wet right from the store. I think I could ring the moisture out of this one! Once you get over that it's a great smoke.
