Mr. Christian's Scary Spice

Scary Spice is a spiced, chai-scented aromatic prepared for autumn. Burley, Virginia, and black Cavendish leaves are dressed with cream, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and clove aromas. The maker notes the flavoring isn't heavy and the blend is meant as a light daytime mixture; it's sold as 2 oz. bulk.

Thanks to its Burley-forward structure, the taste develops on a flat, nutty base, with the spice notes sitting on top of it. Suited to smokers who want an aromatic but wish to avoid a heavy sugar load and thick casing, and who are after a light bowl for early in the day.
