This has become my favorite tobacco. The flavor is very unique and satisfying. My only complaint is that I wish it wasn’t cut so fine and was a little more coarse. Between that and the high moisture content it’s very easy to pack too tight. I like to lay out a bowls worth on a paper plate and nuke it in the microwave for about 8 seconds. Smells like fresh baked brownies and burns so much better because it gets rid of the excess moisture.... just don’t overdo it! I can afford to smoke any tobacco out there but I choose Half & Half.....it’s that good.

Never underestimate possibly the most classic OTC blend. A wonderful smoke. Perfect for any codger wanting to enjoy an age old taste. Room note - burley basically, a cigarette imho. Finish - burley nut, some Virginia sweetness and spices of various sorts enrich the marriage beautifully. It is a recipe that is as pleasant as a finely cooked turkey.

I think the tobacco is very good. Your service is very good.

Much to my Doctor's dismay I am still smoking my pipe. I have been smoking Half &Half for over 40 years. I like the flavor and aroma of Half & Half so why change. My local stores no longer sell any kind of tobacco let alone pipe tobacco so your online services are just what I needed. Very pleased with the product and speedy service.

Awesome, really, really love it. Only negative is tongue bite, but that might be due to smoking it so fast because it tastes so great.

It’s a classic that always satisfies.I remember my dad smoking H & H when I was a kid.It still has that sweet aroma and smooth flavor.One of my favorite smokes.

I mix two Half & Half w/one E.G.R., which was Shelby Foots blend of choice. By it's self, it is a pleasing smoke, but the mixture is a great smoke. The taste and smell are very good. Room note is not overpowering.

This was a good purchase. I didn't know what to expect as a new pipe tobacco smoker but this product definitely held up to the competition on my first round of purchases. It stayed moist and didn't dry out for a long time, as I'm a recreational smoker.
5 out of 5
Perfect meet my tastes

If I had to pick my favorite OTC's, H/H would be squarely in 3rd place behind both SWR's. Not a lagging tired white ribbon 3rd place, but like "man that was close" 3rd place.
It's a good smoke.
Once it sat for awhile, the odor is mesmerizing in the can.
You think "Oh! thats......no.....", and you find yourself doing that each time.
It just smells good in the tin, with a little tickle of something sharp and spicy. I like it.
Taste is mild all day type tobacco, with a sweeter finish than regular SWR, about like the Aromatic SWR.
I almost called it at a pouch, but decided for such a seasoned baccy, I needed to give it another shot.
I'm glad I did.

It’s a old favorite

Just the right blend. It is an easy smoke, and just the right bite. It has a nice room note, and a real good taste in your mouth.
5 out of 5
Your Pap didn't smoke this for 60 years for.no reason!
Its good stuff! Taste of Merica! Let the English folks smoke the English Blends. If your American.......smoke some American blends. I'm convinced its in our DNA! Good American blend with some Iced Tea, Apple Cider or even a cup of Joe. Simply nothing better!
To anyone taste testing tobaccos.....take it SLOW! Don't just smoke 1 pipe full and say or think you don't like it. You have to smoke 4-5 bowls. Try with and without filters. Try in the morning, afternoon and evening. Sip at the pipe. Don't Choo Choo away at it. Take a sip of your favorite beverage after every couple hits to clean your pallete. IMO most tobaccos don't taste great the first time you smoke them. Takes you, your taste buds and your brain some time to think about and realize what you are tasting. Only then can you appreciate the tobacco and decide Yay or Nay on wether you like or enjoy it. It never will happen with the first bowl or 1 bowl!
I realized this early on as I bought all the tobaccos my pap smoked. Half&Half, Carter Hall, Prince Albert, SWR, Five Brothers. I sat down and smoked a bowl of each and all I could think was this stuff is HORRIBLE and what was my pap thinking. So I got online and researched Aros and English blends. Ordered about 30 of the top rated kinds. They show up in the mail and I began to try a pipe of each. Again as I'm going I'm thinking OMG all this stuff is just as bad as the American Blends! Even worse! After I'd tried them all....I had no choice but to try some for a second time. That's where things changed for me. As I did so I started to realize hey maybe this one isn't so bad after all. Then I tried it a 3rd 4th 5th time. Every time they became better and better tasting. Going back to the original American Blends I mentioned. As I tried them again I realized those are what I liked best. Your not gonna like all tobaccos. I'd say I LIKE 20% of them and LOVE 5% of them. But now I can Appreciate 100% of them!

Half and Half is a great mixer with black cavendish. The fact it is long burning with minimum relights makes for a great blend. The Burley and Brights blend perfectly with black cavendish with an excellent taste and aroma.

My grandfather, Pappy, smoked Half and Half in his self-rolled cigarettes...60 years ago. I remember and really enjoy the aroma. Quite a 'comfortable' smell and flavor.

I DON'T smoke but my boyfriend does. I got him a can of half and half as a gift. He stated that he had smoked it before, and each can he had smoked are very consistent in flavor. It's one of those tobacco that you can smoke all day. It mind and sweet. He like it. My guy said that half and half is one of those tobacco that is hard to figure out what's in it. However, he sugguest you just enjoy it and DON'T try to guess what's in it. He give it 4 stars.

I began smoking a pipe back in 1970 as a late teen. I could only afford a drugstore Dr. Grabow pipe and a small assortment of pouch tobaccos such as Borkam Riff, #79 and Half and Half. When I picked up pipe smoking again, 50 years ago almost to the day, of course I had to try an old friend again to start. It was pleasingly familiar, however, I also ordered Lane 1Q, BCA and RLP-6, Captain Black Original and Royal, GL Pease Matese Falcon, Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding, Peter Stokkebye Navy Flake and a couple of others. I have not been able to try all of them, however, to give Half and Half a 4 or 5 star, with such other great refined tobaccos would be disingenuous. It deserves a solid 3 star. It is a very decent all-day smoke, but tends toward tongue bite compared to some of the others. I do not have much experience, but it you are brand new to pipe smoking, you will not go wrong with Half and Half, just be sure to "sip" the pipe, not "chug" on it (which is always recommended). If you have yet to buy your first selection of tobacco, I would recommend Lane 1Q or Captain Black. I quite enjoyed both, putting them at a 4 star, reserving 5 star for the best of the best...yet to be discovered.
4 out of 5
This tobacco exceeded my expectations. When I first opened the pouch, I found the aroma strangely similar to a raspberry breakfast bar. As a smoke, it packed and burned well, but on the first few puffs I did get a few bits in my mouth; I attribute this to the relatively small size of the flakes...it was almost like dried oatmeal.
It tasted excellent; it's a blend I can see smoking throughout the day. I can see why it's been so popular for so long.
5 out of 5
Awesome, no other words
4 out of 5
I have to really be in the mood for this stuff. I have to do the whole Artful Codger act--Kaywoodie pipe--40's music, meatloaf for dinner. But if the "body chemistry" is on, this is a wonderful smoke. The flavor is unique. I do not like cilantro, but the hint in this blend is perfect. Half and Half can give you the best smoke ever--or just go flat. Everybody needs a tin of this hanging around.
5 out of 5
Smooth enjoyable smoke.

5 out of 5
I really like this stuff. Out of the codger blends, it's my favorite so far. SWR is second. Carter Hall third, so far. I would also rate John Rolfe Match, right here on P&C as good as Half and Half. I have never tasted anything like it. There is something about that keeps coming back to it. I don't thing you'll find another tobacco that tastes like this. Truly a unique American classic that everyone should at least try.
5 out of 5
I like Half and Half in my rotation. The flavor is unique and quite a bit different from my every-day tobacco.

I remember the old Half and Half as being my fathers go to blend along with Grangers- I now appreciate it as a change from my VaPer choices. The burley is a bit rougher on the senses -the room aroma less than I remember but I will continue to use as a change of pace.

I mix it with Capt. Back original and flavored tobacco to get a finer cut, and to smoke more economically. It is fine for that purpose.

It really does have a "crema" like taste and is almost like a Captain Black. But I bought a pouch and don't know how long it keeps the taste and aroma when you keep opening and closing it. I found out most tobaccos are like coffee and soon lose their taste and aroma after 3 days. Even the highly esteemed ones.

Good and enjoyable.

I like real tobacco taste and that has it. I also like the cut it’s easy to load.
4 out of 5
This is a very nice old timey pipe tobacco. My suggestion is buy the tub, its much better than the pouch. I don't know why, but the pouch had too much topping and it bit my tongue BAD! I gave it another shot and just made a risk and bought the tub. The cut is very small pieces. Perfect for loading the pipe. The taste is good and the aroma is pleasant. If you smoke this in a filtered pipe your smoke will be cool and flavorful.
5 out of 5
I like better than MIX 79 because it burns more even.

Have tried countless tobaccos over the years. some have been very good, a couple have been over the top. But Half & Half has been my go too tobacco, for over 40+ years.
5 out of 5
It has been almost a year since I started smoking a pipe. In all that time I haven't tried some of the original OTC blends. Since I was ordering some "premium" tin tobaccos I decided to add Prince Albert and Half and Half to the order. At first, Prince Albert "wowed" me and I thought it was clear what my next daily smoke would be. However, I kept waking up in the morning having a craving for Half and Half. The reason I had at first enjoyed Prince Albert more was because of its singular Burley flavor. I thought Half and Half's Virgina conflicted with the Burley. Safe to say, it just grew on me, and I ended up waiting each night just to taste that velvety finish that is so prominent too. Only thing left to try on is Granger and Sir Walter Raleigh, but, why try those two when I already found the next best thing in my pipe smoking career?
5 out of 5
I originally ordered the pouches. My issue is IF the product is on Back order, Let me know so I can revise the order.
Other than that, I do like the product.

My last bowl of H&H was in 1968. My first new bowl was last week. It does now what it did then, providing a simple smoke reminiscent of simpler times.

A truly simple and pleasant smoke that I keep coming back to. It smells decent, burns evenly, and is mild enough to smoke all day. There is nothing pretentious about it's flavor or presentation. When you just need a puff to ponder over, this is a fine OTC blend.

This was a gift for my Dad. He enjoys a good pipe now and then and this is his tobacco. When it arrived he was overjoyed. He has a difficult time finding it where he lives. So needless to say this was a great purchase!!

Has been and always will be my favorite smoke. Great memories of the grandad smoking away, and now I keep that familiar scent wafting along the home. Smoke her slow because she can nip a bit if drawn upon to enthusiastically.

My absolutely preferred everyman's pipe tobacco. Burley and bright, just like the packaging says. It burns smoothly and evenly, with a smokey flavor and aroma that I could enjoy all day. Some people can't stand the stuff, I feel absolutely the opposite. A simple pleasure for a simple hobby.
4 out of 5
I am a new pipe smoker, I have tried many many varieties. This is a cut above the rest according to my taste buds....I have learned that Fancy packaging and high price don't mean its any better...I will reorder Half & Half

I am a new pipe smoker...I have tried maybe a dozen different types...they all taste very similar...but Half & Half is the only one I reordered so far...so maybe its a little better than the rest

Excellent tobacco. Burns evenly and smoothly. No bite whatsoever, the burley really shines through. The virginias even it all out with a little bit of bright sweetness and the toppings aren't overwhelming at all. For a budget leaf, this one is absolutely an easy classic.
5 out of 5
I didn't think I would like it at first, but after smoking it for about 2 months I can't get enough. Simple yet complex. I've learned to appreciate why the old timers fell in love with it. Glad I gave it enough time to acquire the taste, and it's also easy on the wallet.

It’s half sun cured burley and half flue cried bright Virgina, with casing and flavorings never duplicated. Each pouch tastes and smells the same as it did fifty years ago. The old men that rolled their own may have smoked Prince Albert or Velvet, but Half and Half has been “A cargo of contentment in the bowl of any pipe” for over a century. It’s a sweet and savory blend, you simply cannot buy except by buying the original.
The best drugstore blend ever made.

This tobacco reminds me of my great grandfather. From the time I was a small boy until the time he passed, any time i would see him he always had his well worn pipe packed full of half-and-half, and a glass of fine whiskey on the rocks sitting in his oversized chair. The house always smelled of pipe tobacco and this is the blend that triggers memories. He ended up living till he was 113, and had a pipe in his mouth every day till his last, so I assume that it must be something in the half-and half. As a piper myself, I too can appreciate and enjoy this blend for what it is, a very nice and pleasant pipe tobacco. However at this stage of my life, it's not particularly something I usually would go for. But occasionally I fire this up to remember my great grandfather and ponder all the things I didnt know about him. That alone is priceless.

5 stars for what it is...a classic American pouch tobacco...unpretentious and inexpensive. I’m trying each of them and this is the second. Out of the cellophane, popped the well made seal, loaded a bowl, gravity feed with only light packing. It’s nicely moist straight from the pouch and easy to overpack. Pouch note is fruity? Lights easily, burns readily, has an agreeable room note according to my wife. First bowl was through an old favorite Jost Standard Billiard. No bite, agreeable flavor, plenty of smoke, nothing remarkable but very easy to like. Second bowl though a Mo. Meer. Twain, recently acquired and just shy of fully broken in...fresh Medico filter for my review. Seems like the perfect match. My usual smoke is a Dunhill with Latakia...this is quite a change but is an excellent change of pace. Both pipes relit well with no funky tastes or overly strong character. I’ll keep some on hand as it’s different and an easy smoke. It’s a slow burner that sips well...I suspect that it could bite if forced.

The thing I like most about H&H is it's clear versatility as a nifty mixer. Reminds me of Prince Albert but minus the exotic spice flavor that the Prince summons up. This gave me the notion to blend it in small amounts with my fruity aromatics that I treasure.
I discovered a robust nicotine content in my pouch that packed a decent wallop, so I only have this one every now and then during the week.

There is nothing special about it, but it is a good every day smoke.

Kinda hard to describe this blend. It has an interesting flavor unlike anything I’ve tried. Pherhaps spicy not like perique but incense Type of spice. Very well down smooth and flavorful. Will order again only in larger amounts than the pouch I just was not sure if I would enjoy this. I just finished a bowl of this as I wrote this in fact. 5star for me

Not bad at all for an inexpensive drug store staple. I was pleasantly surprised how much I have enjoyed some of the simple Burly ( in this case a blend) tobaccos. Decent flavor paired with mild, all day smokability make this a go to for a mid day break when I don't have time to sit down and read the flavors of a hard to find exotic tobacco.
5 out of 5
Exceptional product line and great service. We have never had a problem.

I so desperately wanted to like this. The pouch note was pleasant. I opened the pouch and then taped it back up and let it sit on the counter for a few days before smoking it. The moisture was just right. Even when lit with a soft flame or match, and slowly sipped, this tobacco had no flavor (other than ash) that I could discern. I'm glad it was so cheap or I would have been upset about wasting money. Two stars for nostalgia alone.

I am still new (less than 4 yrs.) in smoking a pipe. I am still trying different blends and brands. I may prefer a cherry or rum flavored tobacco on occasion, but I will always return to Half and Half for its overall taste, quality burn and call me sentimental aroma.

It's okay, wonder what it might mix well with. Matter of fact, I'd be interested in any successful home recipes, I'm new to the idea. Thanks. !

Another person taking a stroll down memory lane. Grandfathers brand of pipe tobacco. Great room note, and not too strong. Easy to stay lit, a bargain too. Will probably add some to every order.

Great stuff, I tried it buying some 'battle' pouches and not only did it win the battle, in won the war. Bought 10 or so different pouches and this was one of my favorites. The price makes it a bargain.
5 out of 5
A pleasant surprise I'd even call a bargain. Smooth, even-burning and easy to keep lit, never harsh, never wet. The just-opened can has the pleasant, raisin-like aroma of port. Smoking it, you'll notice a mellow, mild sweetness that makes it a good candidate for an all-day smoke. The room note is very traditional, not overpowering, and it creates a feeling of nostalgia. This is the blend my grandfather smoked, and its aroma is the reason a lot of us took up the briar.
It makes a nice blending tobacco as well- I mixed it with Scotty's Trout Stream, a great blend that I find hard to keep lit (I'm no amateur with 30 years of pipe smoking), and it was very nice.
Highly recommended.

I would not recommend using Half & Half to break in a pipe. I had been nicely breaking in a new briar for about a week. Smoked a bowl of this stuff. Noticed a strong apple - melting plastic smell and taste. Despite trying all kinds of blends in this pipe to try to drive away that stench, it still lingers in the pipe. Here it is New Year's Eve. As I write, I have loaded the pipe with my "big guns"--a 40 / 40 / 20 blend of Latakia and Perique and Virginia Red Ribbon--in a final desperate attempt to reseason the pipe and mask that foul and stubborn residue left by Half & Half.
I really don't understand why today's Half & Half tastes this way. I should mention, in fairness, in all my 50 years of smoking, I never did try Half & Half till now. I see other posts from people who've been happily smoking the stuff for decades. I just can't believe this is the same Half & Half that the legends are made of. The people who've smoked it for decades--their taste buds must've adjusted to the changes over the years, and they just never noticed the change in top flavoring. In any case, please don't break in a new pipe with Half & Half.

If course I don't smile a pipe, but every time my husband does, I absolutely love that amazing aroma.

A very nice OTC blend. I tried it once long ago, and it seems better NOW than it was then! The price makes it even better!

While mourning the loss of Frog Morton Across The Pond, and other Syrian blends to which I had become addicted, I decided to try something completely different. Read many fine reviews on Half & Half (hereafter "HH") , thought I'd give it a twirl. Found the stuff a nice-tasting, basic smoke, nothing fancy, even burning. As mentioned in an earlier review, HH does not smoke well if packed too tightly. Burns OK, a little trying to start, stays lit, but does better in a larger pipe. A fair amount of propylene glycol or whatever to maintain moisture, mild "gumminess" compared to premium brands. -1/2 star for that and -1/2 star for blander flavor. However, I keep a pouch around to vary my routine. Fine quality smoke. Tried blending my own HH from Lane bulk tobaccos, a resounding failure that tasted awful, burned like coal, destroying a nice Ropp cherrywood in the process. Will leave blending to the pros!!

I've been smoking a pipe since 1962 and over the years must have tried just about every OTC brand that was out there. But for 40+ of those years Half&Half has been my favorite both good times and bad for the tobacco. I always liked pouch and room note of this blend. Now I consider myself a Burley man so about a year or so ago I switched to Granger. Really liked that tobacco but before I would have it dethrone H&H I decided to give it another try. So I ordered a tub of H&H from P&C. I was quite surprised when I opened the tub. The familiar tub note was there, the moisture content was consistent to what I was used to but something was different. Looking closer at the tobacco, this batch had a different cut. Yes, the familiar crimp cut was there but it was mixed with a good portion of ribbon cut leaf. Hmmm. It was a little different to pack into the pipe and a bit more difficult to keep lit, but the flavor...ahhh! the flavor! It was the same as I remember thank goodness. So, I'm going to stick to the 5 stars. Now where does it stand with Granger? I'm not sure. I like them both and I'll probably alternate between the two for at least a while.

This, to me, is the quintessential codger blend (and I mean that in a good way). Sweet, smoky, mild, this tobacco doesn't require a lot of puzzling out of flavors...no searching for grassy, hay-like notes with Half and Half, just good, old fashioned, no nonsense tobacco. I'm a burley fan (thanks to Matches860), and this blend has the perfect ratio of Burley/Virginia. You get that nutty Burley flavor with a nice sweet finish from the Virginia. I've smoked pretty much every OTC blend out there, and this one is by far my favorite. A lot of the old OTC blends have that chemical taste in the background, but I've never noticed that in this blend. I'd recommend this to any pipe smoker, new or experienced. Granted, I have more "premium" tobaccos in my daily rotation, and I do enjoy them, but there will always be room for a bowl of H&H in my life.

Sir Walter Raleigh was out of stock so I bought half and half instead based on reviews. I was very disappointed. It is not nearly as smooth as Sir Walter. In fact it is somewhat harsh. Seems like something you would find at a gas station.

Just finished my very first bowl of Half and half, Very light and mellow mouth feel with a delightful nutty chocolate aroma the end of the bowl had more of a coffee bean taste that ended with light liquorish . Enjoyed it with a cup of pecan flavored coffee. I will definitely buy a tin next time. Great job Pipes and Cigars.

Very enjoyable smoke. I usually lean towards English blends but this is just a good ol stand by with no bite and great tin and room notes with a great taste. Don't pass it up just because of the cheaper price.

I have been smoking a pipe for only 14 months. But in that time I have tried at least 12 different tobaccos. Including some OTC's from the best known and oldest tobacco stores in NYC. And I have to say;for my money is the less expensive Half & Half is the best tasting and less expensive of them all. It burns well and long. And has a sweet taste.

It took me almost 25 years to get over the tongue scorching, raw throat and whole mouth sting inflicted on me in my early pipe smoking years at the hands of Captain Black in its earlier incarnation.
With the purchase of Lane Ltd. by STG, my curiosity was piqued. With much trepidation, I bought a pouch of Captain Black Gold. It was surprisingly really enjoyable. So I bought 3 pounds of MV-1000 and 2 of BLWB on sale at a price I couldn't resist. Both are in my daily rotation now. Lane Ltd. has redeemed itself to a large degree in my book.
So today, I rolled the dice and bought a 12 oz. can of Half and Half at my local B&M...before California's 75% tax climbs even higher.
This is not as I remember it. It is better. Gentle and subtle. Pleasant. Nice aroma. Reminds me a little of Sutliff's ERR Match, with less topping. Going back to get that other can next week.
Out of curiosity, I blended this 50/50 with BLWB
Whoah!!!
All I can say is I need more Mason jars, because I am gonna be smoking a lot of this home blend...as tasty and satisfying as my long time go to blend of 50/50 Prince Albert and Carter Hall. Right up there with Sutliff's ERR Match. Try it if you have both these tobaccos on hand. Codger Heaven.

I like this pipe tobacco. It's in my top 5 rotation. Makes for a pleasant break from the more aromatic tobaccos I smoke.

I've been smoking Half & Half for longer than I can remember -- at least 40 years. Today's Half & Half is cut finer than the 'old' stuff and burns quicker. It also tends to muck up my pipes to a greater extent. I know that Lane now owns the brand. Perhaps you can influence them to not cut it so fine -- more of the ribbon-like cut of yore. I'll still buy it, but I'm looking for an equally mild and affordable everyday tobacco. Thanks

This tobacco is just fine but may not appeal to pipe smoking newbies trying to impress each other. Not a hipster smoke.
I have been smoking a pipe for over 50yrs and Half and Half is my usual morning smoke. Afternoons I usually have the Frogmorton series of tobacco. Let's hope prices stay low and the pipe smoking glitterati leave Half and Half alone.

This is my go to tobacco. I've tried about 9 tobacco's so far since starting a pipe, and this stuff taste good, burns great, has the right amount of harshness, and is the best value IMO. Doesn't have bite unless you really puff down on it. The only tobacco I like more then this so far is Prince Albert and it's 10 dollars more, so I go with Half and Half mostly.
4 out of 5
Surprisingly good Burley and Virginia blend. Had never tried it in the past, figured it was time to give it a chance. Smooth, toasty, and tasty, all in all a nice easy going blend. I would buy this again. I find myself drawn to English blends, but this American hits the right notes, at least for me.

Very good for what it is.Much better than it was back in the 90's.I bought a pouch while in Italy back in '98,and it smelled like grass clippings,and tasted harsh.What I have here is mostly burley,and smells like it in the pouch.Good for a change of pace.

I've been comparing all the OTC's, PA, SWR, HH, Velvet and CH, and I've found Half and Half to be the most enjoyable and flavorful, while still mild and no bite. Velvet and Carter Hall not as flavorful yet very mild. Excellent smokes but not very complex in flavor. Very straight forward and simple. Sir Walter and Prince Albert a bit stronger, more bite and more flavor. Half and Half is in the middle with a nice burley taste and subtle complex flavor that is very appealing. Definitely going to be a regular for me as a PC customer. Delivery is fast and tobacco always fresh.

This tobacco holds good memories of my Grandfather. It's a go to for me.

Half and Half keeps tugging me back for another bowl. More and more I'm getting away from aromatics and all the big deal tobaccos. Half and Half is truly an all day smoke reminiscent of days gone by and simpler times. I revisit the days of my dad smoking HH in his wood shop and the times we shared there as a kid. It's a mild, bite free tobacco that doesn't leave a sore mouth or bad aftertaste like highly-flavored potpourri varieties. Nothing compares to a fresh bowl of Half and Half in my favorite pipe at the end of the day. A true classic pipe tobacco that's is the heart of what I love about pipe smoking!

Right up there with the finest drug store blends. This is also a versatile and forgiving blending component. Some kind of very light topping that's hard to discribe, but, doesn't get in the way of the tobacco. What everyone else said => There is a reason this is still around.

The purchase of half and half was for my husband. However, I'm responsible for the budget. I searched diligently for quality, savings, and convenience. The purchase from pipes and cigars met all my criteria plus more!

I mix it with other tobacco to make it more palatable. I bought too much. I'd recommend a pouch if you want to give it a try. Weird topping taste.
5 out of 5
I've smoked this tobacco for 55 years and in the last few years come back to it often...As with other selected OTC tobaccos, This stays in my rotation of aromatics regularly. The newest version from Lane(STG) is a bit "softer" and "rounder" than the Pinkerton version, and I like this newest version better...
Smokes well in any size pipe and while, for me, not an all-day smoke, could be so.

I like it,Good mello smoke with very little tongue bite.

For a "drugstore" blend, Half and Half is one of the greats. I love blends like this that have been around for so long that family members smoked this 50+ years ago. This is reliable, cool smoke that has an appealing and intriguing spice note that to me, tastes like history. Per the maker's website, there are hints of cardamom, coriander and maze. I'm not sure I would have been able to identify these specific spices on my own, but, regardless, it works and works very well. These flavors are subtle and never become tiresome. Half and Half is easy to pack, easy to light and easy to keep lite. The only downside for me is the packaging specifically, the pouch. It is difficult to open and to keep closed after loading a pipe. That aside, this is a classic taste of yesteryear that makes for a great all day companion!

An excellent product at a great price. Not up there with Carter Hall (in my opinion) and just a little short of Sir Walter Raleigh. It has an underlying, pleasant and slightly sweet tobacco taste. Not quite an aromatic but far superior to Captain Black and Borkhum Riff. Like Carter Hall and Sir Walter Raleigh, it can be smoked all day and if I only had Half and Half to smoke, I wouldn't be unhappy.

Your grand dads smoke. Old school smoke, burns nicely, aroma is about like a cigar, nothing special. Good smoke while working, hunting or fishing.

OK so ever since Scandinavian Tobacco purchased Half and Half the quality has improved ten fold. Open the tub and you are greeted with Christmas spices and aroma which does not really translate into the taste but does add a sweetness that compliments the Burley and Virginia. No bite on this new version. Think Carter Hall but with a true Christmas spice room note that will win over the non smokers. $23 for 12 ounces? A steal in this day and age. Try it and see why our grandfathers were satisfied with a tin of H&H,a warm fire and Roosevelt on the radio telling them we won the war....

Haven't really had a chance to get into it, did smoke one bowl of it and for me it just wasn't my favorite. Has a cherry chocolate smell in the pouch, and a really strong sweet after taste. I'm more of a English guy myself though. For aromatic lovers this might fit into y'all's rotation perfectly.

I started smoking a pipe when I was 12 years old and now I'm almost 69 so do the math for how many years it's been. Over those many years I've smoked many tobaccos. Some good, some not so much. But the one tobacco that I always come back to and is indeed THE blend for me is Half & Half. Are there better blends out there? You bet. But there is just something about H & H that keeps drawing me back. It may be that sort of unidentifiable tin note or maybe the cut of the blend and how nicely it packs into the bowl of a pipe, or the nutty, semi-sweet taste of the blend with no bite or maybe all of the above. Whatever it is, it doesn't really matter. To me smoking this blend is pure enjoyment. This has been "My blend" for over 50 years and will remain my blend for the next 50.

I am pleasantly surprised with the overall quality improvement of Half & Half tobacco as a result of the Scandinavian Tobacco Group taking over this popular American Drug Store blend. As a avid Virginia Flake Smoke, I tried this tobacco 38 years ago when I first started smoking a pipe and found it to burn hot and fast with a limited amount of flavor. I really like this new stuff---it's like seeing an old friend, and I am going to keep it in my rotation of Orlik, Gatsby, Erinmore and other stuff.

Some time ago I mixed up a leftover bag of Super Value Cherry and some Half & Half ( thats been sitting around for Awhile ! ) and it smoked/tasted Dang Good ! Wife even said " Now that smells decent !! " as I'm setting out on the front porch. Smoke this ' Mix ' in my collection of various Savenelli Hercules pipes.

I've been smoking Half & Half for over 46 years. It's always been one of my "go to" smokes and is one of my preferreds for breaking in a new pipe, be it briar or cob. But, I'm puzzled, frankly, over some the comments. There's nothing aromatic about Half & Half. It's just plain burley and Virginia. I don't smoke aromatics. Absolutely, at all. So, I'm puzzled by that. It's like Prince Albert or Carter Hall. But, different. I also smoke a lot of Prince Albert and Carter Hall. And when not smoking one of those "codger" blends, I tend to the latakia/virginia/oriental/turkish English type blends and when not smoking those, Virginia flakes.

For a good while, Half and Half had suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, and came away the worst for it. But since it was taken in hand by Lane/Scandinavian & Co, it has improved noticeably. Still rough compared to Prince Albert and Carter Hall, it has caught up to Sir Walter Raleigh and is now at least an average OTC blend. Now, if they’d only put it back in the original pouch rather than the current ‘packet’.

This is my second review. I didn't really like this blend at first, but I decided to give it another try. I'm glad I did! I've been a pipe smoker for over two years now and my tastes have changed. Stuff I didn't like early on I like now, like this one! It smells nice in the pouch and tastes pretty good. This is now my favorite non-aromatic blend. It's a good everyday tobacco. Nice price too!

I have purchased a few things (pipe tobacco, mainly) at P&C.
I have absolutely no complains, and appreciate the fast way my shipments have arrived, just as I had selected them.
P&C is, to me, a pillar for my smoking needs. I have been a pipe smoker for some 45 years, and only at P&C have I been able to obtain those tobaccos I used to buy here, in Puerto Rico, and which are no longer available.
Thank you, P/C.

H&H is much better sinc the Scandinavian Tobacco Group picked it up. Almost like I remember from YEARS ago. had to drop it for a good while, just wasn't 'gettin' it'. but now it's a good basic no nonsense blend for me. I also keep a strong stash on hand of 4 parts H&H and 1 part C&D's Dark Burley blending tobacco, heck o f a kick. I hear it smells pretty Ok too , from my peanut gallery at home. (VEEEERRY IMPORTANT). As long as STG handles it I'll keep using it, 12oz. tub after tub

This tobacco has a really nice room note, but the taste is very bland. It seems to have an almost bitter taste to it, despite "sipping" the pipe while smoking.

So glad I found P & C, I live in a beautiful Town, however, the nearest tobacco shop is more than an hour away!! Excellent products & fast shipping. I've even given my friends your info. and they are very thankful. Only one complaint, my husband loved your version of "Four Seasons" and now it appears it is no longer available. Please bring it back!!! I thank you for your wonderful sevice and thank you for giving me the oppurtunity to express my input. Your feedback space is excellent as it doesn't limit the amount of room to post a comment. Blessings for the New Year! (would just love to see the Four Season's version comeback as my New Year's gift)

If you're like me and enjoy lighting up a cob with some good ole Burley and just relaxing, then you'll enjoy Half and Half. This brand has been around since before FDR and has been a staple in the pipes of millions of smokers ever since its inception.
There's a reason for its longevity: It burns smooth and has good flavor.--with no bite either. Oh, and it won't break the bank.
So go ahead and try it. I think you'll be glad you did.

I have been using this tobacco for many years. I consider it a semi-aromatic base which I find ideal to mix with an aromatic tobacco to produce a blend that is not too sweet and just right. Its suitability for this, being between an aromatic and non-aromatic totally justifies the name Half and Half.
4 out of 5
An old times blend of burley & bright tobaccos that my Grandfather smoked in the 40s and 50s. I smoke it around my Dad, who very much appreciates its nostalgia.
Nothing spectacular about this straight-forward tobacco: smokes smoothly, distinct aroma, mixes well with other tobaccos.

I found that I did not like Half & Half Pipe Tobacco. I have found that I like Captain Black Regular more.

Burns consistently with a dry aftertaste. The fruity aroma is inviting and the tobacco is robust enough have enough volume on the inhale. I'd really adore this if it were a touch sweeter while smoking like the pouch aroma would indicate.

One tobacconist I know loves it, another hates it. I like it - if that can be considered middle ground.

I've smoked a pipe off and on for 30 years and smoked more blends than I can remember. H&H is nutty and mild. You could inhale this without trouble. Although I don't encourage it. I still grab it for a quick smoke and use it as a base blending. I don't really notice a casing. It's not sticky with topping. Check out the half n half website for a 1 buck sample pouch coupon.

Good Day to All! I hope All are enjoying a pleasant pipe and a fantastic day. I agree with "Danial R.": "How can this have a four star rating???????? I can barely get through a bowl. Poor quality. Bad flavor. Burns hot. The second worst pipe tobacco I have ever tasted. Just above a generic cigarette on my flavor scale.' My sentiments exactly. I quit smoking cigarettes many years ago. Don't feel like starting again. I haven't thrown out any pipe tobacco yet. This will be my first.
It somewhat annoys me that I paid $5.99 for it. And that's another thing. i don't find convenient store or tobacco store products to be inexpensive. P&C Now, that's where the deals are! I like to get their paper catalog, page through it while smoking a bowl, cirlcling the tobacco's and stuff that I want to try. And the shipping is mind boggling. For P&C I give 5 Stars.

I started smoking this around 1965, loved it, then when Pinkerton started making it I started searching for a replacement because Pinkerton ruined it for me, have tried some since Scandinavian started making it, they are doing a much better job, but not quite the same, but pretty close. Nobody seems to make a smoke as good as American did.

First try I didn't like it very much, as it was my first try at really smoking a pipe(much to learn). Have tried it a few more times since then interspersed with other types of tobaccos, and am enjoying it. Now I will use it periodically to keep the rotations interesting.

If you are looking for a good friend to drink with a beer on the back porch this is the tobacco for you. I enjoy a pipe full of Half and Half with a Genny Cream Ale on the porch almost every evening. Sure there are some who turn their noses up at Half and Half but it's a tried and true American classic. Nothing fancy here it's a t-shirt and jeans kind of smoke that isn't trying to impress anybody. I have dozens of tins and jars of tobacco stashed away but none of them are the all purpose workhorse that Half and Half is. This is an old time smoke to remind you that not everything needs to be expensive to be good.

Dealing online with Pipes and Cigars is always a pleasant experience. The easy to use website, large selection, prompt shipping and (at least for me no sales tax) makes shopping easy -- and just while sitting at your computer.
