A couple of years ago, Erik Stokkebye introduced a series of pipes inspired by the four seasons. While the shapes remain the same throughout the series, each season features its own distinctive finish. To complement the pipes, he also created a series of tobacco blends designed to capture the character and spirit of each season.

Autumn Mixture is the third blend in the series, a ready-rubbed combination of Virginias, Dark-Fired Kentucky, and Perique. In this video, I crack open my first tin and share my initial impressions.
