A Monstrous New Mixture

Whether you call it Halloween, All Hallow’s Eve, or even Samhain (our personal favorite when chatting up an attractive “more-Gaelic-than-thou” person over drinks), admit it, there’s a singular coolness to October 31st, beyond all of the holidays to follow. Maybe this attraction hails back to childhood memories of trick-or-treating and ghost stories, perhaps it's due to the anticipation of horror movie marathons (from cheesy to excellent), or maybe it’s because it’s the one time of the year when we, as adults, can toss on a costume and party, but Halloween will always provide something to look forward to.

Given that one can’t throw a stick at a tobacco section during the holidays without hitting a Christmas blend (not that there’s anything wrong with that) where’s the Halloween mixture? Come on, not even one?! Horrified by such an oversight, we here at Cornell & Diehl have created the first/only mixture dedicated to this special night: Mixture Monster. MM is a smooth, aromatic blend, redolent of chocolate, caramel and apple (in short, all of those flavors we used to enjoy in our post trick-or-treat swag) and — get this — the blend is available in four Limited Edition labels, featuring completely different, wickedly delightful horror themes: “Butcher,” “Demon,” “Zombie,” and “Lycan.” That’s right; nary a jack-o-lantern or cartoon witch to be found, just devilishly fun art which reflects a modernist outlook on the real fun of Halloween.
