Actually pumpkin tobacco is quite good. Just take your standard pumpkin and cut it in half. Remove the stringy stuff that is connected to the seeds. Remove the seeds and spread the pumpkin strings out on a baking sheet, sprinkle with cinnamon, cloves, and ginger and put in the oven at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes. Keep the oven door cracked so the strings dry out. You end up with something that looks like a ribbon cut. Load your favorite pipe and enjoy.
Sutliff's Pumpkin Spice is actually a really good aromatic. The major flavor profile is that of pumpkin flavored cheesecake. It has the pumpkin notes with cinnamon and a very rich creamy flavor. I actually have a jar of it in the cellar. Might need to pull that out here in a little while for the fall season.
Since I prefer pecan, cherry and apple to pumpkin pie, I might only sample a pumpkin pipe blend at a pipe show, but i draw the line at having pumpkin flavor brewed into my beer. I know a guy who loves pumpkin beer, can't wait for the season. My favorite aro flavors are whiskey, rum, plum, and Peretti's Thanksgiving Day (citrus, anisette, and other fruit, but tobacco forward). I used to like vanilla and caramel, but find now the flavoring upstages the tobacco. My dad used to make pumpkin seed snacks from jack'o'lantern seeds, sprinkling a little starch and salt on the seeds and baking them in the oven until slightly browned, then letting them cool. They kept well and had a nice crunchy nutty flavor.
Well Sleepy Hollow is what jumps to my mind. But I did read something recently saying Sutliff Pumpkin Spice was a main ingredient. I have no idea the authenticity of that claim however.
If that's true, it appears that Golden Cavendish and vanilla are added to Pumpkin Spice to get Sleepy Hollow. Not a big difference between the two, but pleasantly noticeable.
