HALLOWEEN.......
So how many of you still love Halloween?
Do you smoke certain Blends during this Holiday? Do you use a special Pipe? I see all kinds of Halloween Blends and Halloween Pipes on the market this time of year, Blends I might try because you never know but what about the pipes?? I saw one, it was Black with Orange trim, it was OK I could see me smoking a pipe like that but not sure I would go anymore extreme......at least the Black and Orange could be smoked anytime of year and no one would think anything of it other than it was black with thin Orange trim lines...LOL
So what do the rest of you smoke during Halloween and what pipe do you use?

@judandhispipe that doesn't shock me one bit, I see you as a guy that like pipe and likes certain blends and wont change, not saying that is bad, once you find what you like you want to stick with it, I haven't yet found one favorite or even ten favorites yet so I am going to keep trying them all....I can say I only like aromatics so that cuts it down a LITTLE. lol
@Woodsman OH I know that smell, we can still burn leaves out here in the country but we have certain times we are allowed to do it, the smell is Fall and it is good! If I find any blends that smell that way I will let you know. I am sure anyone else that reads this post will also let you know if they find one.
AT everyone else....LOL...Sleepy Hollow is the one Halloween Blend I know of yet have not tried yet, when they have it ready I will try it BUT what others are there out there? I have one I blended but other than that I don't think Halloween has caught on like Christmas blends have.
What I don't do is smoke aros much, drugstore blends, or worry about what is hot and trendy.
Not saying I will go back to the Holiday blends if I do not like them but if I like them I am going to stock up so I can smoke them when ever I feel the mood. lol

@Wolf41035 I love Sutliff's Pumpkin Spice it's a great smoke. And perfect for Halloween as well as after Thanksgiving dinner. Actually through the Fall season. I've never been able to get Sleepy Hollow, only because it's not something easily ordered over the internet. So Pumpkin Spice is my alternative. I also agree with @thesubcon about C&D Mixture Monster. Great tasting apple caramel tasting blend. That's another I'll be smoking tomorrow night. I plan on watching a bunch of movies so I'll be smoking throughout.
I'm also a Halloween fanatic. Throughout the month I have a movie marathon. At the Yahoo groups I Moderate we have an annual Oktoberfest Couch Potato Challenge where we watch as many movies as possible during the month and then post the complete list for the group to share. We then compare lists and find out which movie appears most often.
I'll have to say this year my numbers are down drastically since I was doing the 31 Days Of Halloween photo shoot here at the group. Believe it or not it took about 3 hours (sometimes more) to set up the photo shoot, pick out the best picture from the mess, and then do the write-up. Hard to believe I'm something of a perfectionist when writing the comments considering all the error and misspellings that slip through.

When I took up the pipe again in the Summer of 2016, I did a load of research on pipes, pipe smoking, and pipe tobacco.
I have 179 megs or 1,104 files and links concerning pipe lore on my hard drive, including an extensive pipe smoking .pdf library, free to all.
