Half and Half

Really enjoyed this codger blend. People like the room note as well.

Good price. Fast shipping No hassle.

Good tobacco

I like to mix half and half with other blends to create new taste and flavors. Good product.

Smoothie

the best

Cool smoking!

Received my order of half &Half slow burning no goop smokes clean the spices really complement the this. It remains cool. I love burly blends been smoking about forty years my daily smoke three star blue/Field and stream. I would like to sample lane, BLWB will order more THANKS Robert

ok

Liked the bigger can better but these are serviceable.

Strong smoke. No bite but warm. Ok aroma. Not bad for an all day smoker.

One of my favorites

Perfect

Half and Half pipe tobacco is smooth smoking and the aroma is pleasant. Thanks. RLB

Honestly, for a drug-store blend, I love this stiff. I keep coming back to it. The roommate is good, the taste is subtle and not overpowering. It has a bit of sweetness and I can taste the Virginia (it is certainly not half the blend, though!). I tend to go for anything with a bit of Virginia in it, burley is good a nutty, but it tends to leave my palate tasting like it for a day. The bright Virginia moderates that and adds a nice grassy, sweet, flavor and balance. This is my go-to pouch. I should buy a can.

Ok

This is my 2nd attempt at smoking a pouch of Half and Half and I still get serious tongue bite. The pouch note is wonderful, with the strong sweet smell of Honey. The flavor is nice as well, I just can't get past the tongue bite no matter how slow I smoke it.

Good Smoke

My all day smokes

An old favorite, that has always drawn a good pull when it was smoked. Nice mixture of tobacco. Has only been surpassed by Lane's Edgeworth innmy opinion.

I like burly and I like to mix it equal portions with 1Q. It is a tobacco I never grow tired of. It is a smooth smoke and very pleasant to me.

ok

So smooth! Loved it! My father used to smoke this brand when I was a kid. Love the smells and the feelings I get when I smell the old days! Thanks

This one is by far hard to describe. I love it but it’s hard to explain why. It’s unique , comfortable, hint of sweet, hint of spice, can potentially give you a minimal tongue bite (throttle back , sip , rest, repeat). The best way for me to explain, I feel like I’m having a tobacco history lesson when I smoke it , it takes you back to the older days, kinda puts you in the era of the old timer piper shoes working on the farm , industrial , barber shop, living room listening to the radio (TV) etc. It’s a great and rewarding experience every time. It will blow your socks off if you appreciate the era and American history behind pipe tobacco.

Go back to the old reliables once in awhile. There is a reason why they have been around for so long. Great smoke.

good stuff

It's a beautiful and mild perfect smoke,I am pleased with my half and half!👍

Good smoke

good service

I'm buying my favorite "Half & half" pipe tobacco from this company on a regular basis. And I'm glad to say that I'm more than satisfied with the quality of the product and with excellent customer service.

Change of pace smoke from my Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. Use only occasionally.

Good tobacco

H&H is about the only "codger pouch" I like. A nice, easy smoke. It's also a good blending component - I mix a little Virginia and Perique in with it as a condiment.

long time user. Close to my favorite.

Was good! But not like the half and half of my youth. 50 years ago!

Smooth and mild; the cut should be a little more courser

My every day smoke

Not my favorite but it is worth trying.

The tobacco my grandfather smoked and Ie joy itt as much as I imagined he did

Reminds me of my younger years, always like this flavor. Liked the way it is packaged now. Shipping was fast and easy to order

Very smooth and doesn't have a bad smell, I highly doubt this product.

I'm giving 5 stars cause I liked both versions I had. I ordered a 7oz tub before and It had a mild but noticeable cranberry esc topping. It was good so I decided to order another. However, this new tub taste like it has hardly no topping at all, I can smell that something's been done to the tobacco before I smoke but during smoking it's just a mild Virginia burley blend with no topping. What I'm hoping is that this is the new half&half and the tub I got before still had the old stuff in it or something. I hoping it's not an inconsistency that will continue from tub to tub.

over sixty years still my favorite

So far Half and Half is one of my favorites, It's great when I mix it with captain black royal. I really like the smell as soon as I open the bag. It's always fresh

long time user of Half and Half.....wondef;ul product

The flavor and smell are phenomenal.

A very good tobacco and is much like Captain Black. Very good aroma, creamy flavor. Lately CB seems harsher then I remember. 4.5 stars.

Came opened. Customer service sent a new can right away. Fast and curtious, resolved the issue satisfactory.

I grabbed some Half and Half because it's what my grandpa used to smoke and I wanted some nostalgia. Really great aroma and super smooth smoking for such a cheap tobacco. I will be incorporating it into my daily tobaccos with the likes of my favorite Captain Black.

5 stars for being so good at what it is: an all-American aromatic. But they got the third topnote wrong. It isn't maze, it's MACE -- a sister spice to nutmeg. That would match the other two topnotes in the mix: cardamom and coriander. I would have preferred just burly and bright with perique for a bit of spice. But that would be Country Gentleman. This is something else, as it should be.

A little dry

Always wanted to try this. It is a smooth and flavorful smoke, nothing complicated about it, and I enjoy it immensely. A bargain at the price.

Pretty good tobacco, smokes kinda fast, but good!

Best all around default blend.

An Old time blend that never fails to please. Great all day smile!

It been my favorite for years; smooth and enjoyable It arrived when it was supposed on time.

You won't go wrong with this excellent tobacco. Try it!

Same great taste and aroma I remember

Smooth and fresh Profession customer service

I mix these three tobacco's that makes a smooth flavorful smoke

Good smoke... Mixed it with 2 parts Edward G.... Smells like honey and a good all day smoke.

My everyday blend for years.

It's ok but not that great as Captain Black but cheaper and can be daily smoke while driving and use good ones for relaxing outside.

Still just like my grandpa smoked.

I enjoyed it

Smells great and tastes great. Will definitely be a new go to

Good middle of the road smoke here. I also use this to blend with.

fast burning and a little hot but a good smoke. a good change of pace.

Excellent all day smoke

Smooth calm flavor and the blend smokes well with a nice amount that lasts.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was. The tobacco smells good, the smoke flavor is one that I enjoy. It packed easy and I didn't need to constantly relight it. My current tobacco of choice.

It's ok its not as hardy as it once was they are using thinner leaves

Excellent shipping

Arrived sooner than I expected. I will likely reorder.

I like the blend I enjoy the smell I always liked the smoke and so does my friends.

I like all of the above Jack Pope

Have been smoking it for over 50 years. Have tried other tobaccos but always come back to Half & Half. Jack Pope

Love this tobacco!

Same as Sir Walter Raleigh

Ehhh. Didn’t stay lit for me and provided a lot of tongue bite for me. Rolled it into some paper though and smoked it like a cigarette and it just fine. Flavorful too.

Fairly mild and very good value.

Thank you for an excellent transaction. A great price actually fast shipment. Will be purchasing again.

Great flavor

Good all around tobacco and tfsts why it’s been around for years.

Nice all day smoke

Fine old time tobacco. Not full of fruit and candy.

Great complex (outside the norm) flavored tobacco. One of my favorites that I use to change things up, because there’s nothing like it that I’ve found. I recommend it to my friends.

Too moist, wouldn't stay lit

This is nice. Burns very hot.

I am VERY new to pipes - so take my review with that in mind. It was okay... I was expecting a bit more full flavor and that classic pipe smell.

My Pops swears by this, smells good and very smooth

This is the tobacco I smoked years ago and is still great.

I have my regulars. I am a creature of habit, but every once in a while I like to take myself to a new restaurant or store. This was one of those adventures. I purchased Half and Half because it continually shows up in best sellers, no matter what site you are on. I am glad I did. I don't think this is a beginner smoke. This is far to complex and possible harsh for a beginner. It took me about a third of a bowl to start admiring it. The smoke coming off continually baffled and surprised me with the notes I was detecting. Is that cinnamon? Is that Apple? What spice is that? The flavor and smell seemed to be in a constant state of metamorphosis. It was about at half a bowl, when it settled down and I really started to enjoy it. This blend had been around since puppies were the oldest Christmas gift. I remember seeing tins of it at my grandparents and my father had some as well. The room note is not for everybody. I don't mind it, its different. Not bad or good, just different. The taste is definitely flavored, but far to complex for me to figure out, so I just rode the current and let it take me where it wanted. This was a good smoke, burned very well. The biggest surprise was after I had finished and I took a drink and all the flavors of the blend came back to visit me. This was actually very pleasant.

I’m very satisfied

It has a good strong taste. I would love to purchase it in a bigger can, such as 14 oz.

Never smoked it....read about it....saw a video about “codger” blends....I’m 71 so who better to try it...my wife’s father smoked it...seeing the pouch on my desk made her smile....well I bought a larger tin...it’s great....as a change from the latakia blends I smoke.....this is a great morning smoke....and very old school like me

Thanks I like the bigger tin

Appears to have less flavor than the package does

Mixture of tobacco five off a great smell that I’ll never forget. New to pipe smoking and I can’t wait to have memories with certain blends

My uncle loves it!

I didn't like this at at first. Had one bowl then set it aside. When I ran out of the others I bought, I went back to it. Now it is one of my favorites! Smell, taste and price!

Great

Half and half has always been a favorite. I has a pleasant aroma and flavor. It brings back memories of my grandfather when he would smoke it.

Very smooth and flavorful. Highly recommend!

Disappointed in their changing the amount of ounces in the packaging. I buy this for my husband, he still enjoys the flavor though!

Love the tobacco, hate the smaller cans.

This is a nostalgic blend for me as it’s unique smell in the can/pouch always takes me back to when I first started buying drug store tobacco as a young man in my 20’s. My wife likes the aroma which says a lot! A cool, pleasant, satisfying smoke.

Smoking a bowl of Half is like visiting an old friend. I' lighting up one right now.

It goes years back in my family a good product

Very good

Not my favorite codger blend

The only problem is you shrunk the can and raised the price!

Great service as always, great tobacco 2nd favorite

Like Grand Dad used to smoke!

I like Half N Half. It burns well. It has an alright aroma. It tastes fine. I'd buy it again.

It's good for a quickie smoke but has a bigger bite at times that I want . What I do now is add one part Half&Half to two parts Smokers Pride Black Cavendish which makes for a long burning bowl I seldom have to re- light. Get the rich Cavendish smell& taste with a satisfactory bite:-)

Smoking Half & Half tastes good, the change from what, I remember from years ago when, I tried it seems a more tobacco smell that I enjoy smoking. I am hoping that storing and, giving a chance to air out what, seems in pouch freshness before, smoking or, it's just me but, I am finding a smell of lunchmeat.

Nice flavor Mild aroma. Not overwhelming. Well blended. Have been using it for years.

Great smoking tobacco. Nice aroma. Been using it for 50 years. Highly recommended.

Same great tobacco blend I have enjoyed for years. I have some empty 14 oz cans of Half & Half from many years ago that I have kept for storage which I enjoyed the great blend of flavor aroma and smoking satisfaction.

Just like the new can, the pouch brings back the glory of theis old blend. If you remember this blend from about 10 years ago, try it again for the first time. STG has made this blend great again and you will see why this was a standard back in the day. Burley, a bit of anise, Virginia, that all work together.

Use this tobacco for years. Only one I smoke.

I bought the 7 ounce can, this was lucky strike brand back in the day but they removed the lucky strike logo. Smokes amazing. No bs flavors added just pure high quality tobacco.

Fast delivery, good price

I found tobacco very satisfying. It was mild with no bite. Perfect for my daily smoke. Came in very quickly by ups :)

I really like new 7oz can. This is my go to pipe tobacco. Was around this as a kid and always remembered the aroma. When I started smoking a pipe one of first tobaccos I tried. A nice mild flavorful smoke. Will always have this on hand.

I am a new pipe smoker. I had tried several brands. Some better than others.once I tried Half and Half I was hooked. This is the one for me.

I really like this old time brand, I smoke it every day and I never get tired of the aroma and flavor. I also smoke more complex and expensive brands to add variety to my smoking experience, but, I always enjoy going back to half& half. It’s the one I reach for more than any other.

I’m pretty new to the pipe smoking hobby. However, Half and Half has fast become my go to tobacco. The flavor aroma is pleasant and relaxing. Just the thing I need after a long day.

New container too small!

First of all I really did not want to order from this place again due to a previous issue BUT they corrected the problem, so I placed this order. Anyway , this particular choice is a good one and will likely order again.

Only Tobacco my father likes great smell and wonderful taste would highly recommend

Smooth

Half and half is a good smoke. Its burly with a topping of what tastes like apples and honey. It doesn't bite at all and it doesn't take much to keep her stoked. If your a fresh cut, give it a try.

Good smoke

Been smoking it for 40 years...none finer!

I Like the 12oz.cans better.

STG has restored the glory of this old favorite. The new 7 ounce can will take getting used to. I've been smoking a pipe since 1988 andI grew up with either a pouch or the big can by my side. I do find the opening to be a little small to scoop with a pipe.

Great tobacco. If you're looking for a decent nic hit, give this a try. I smoke about half a pack of cigarettes a day, but when this is in my rotation I only have about 2. Half and Half was the first tobacco I smoked when I started smoking a pipe, and I've bought it 3 times already. I really enjoy this.

A nicely satisfying smoke. I don't remember it being this good in years past. Perhaps they have improved it or my taste has changed. Either way it's a good smoke at a good price.

good

Bought a tin of it. Slightly moist but still good smokabilitiy. Taste is a little different from when I started smoking it in 1968.

old balance good smoking

Nice and easy storage

I love this tobacco! I came back for a tin after giving this pouch a try. Light, mellow, sweet, sticky taste...definitely, one of my go to tobaccos!

You can not go wrong with a old codger like Half & Half. Enjoy a bowl by itself or use it to blend. Just nice and simple.

oz.. is my go to tabacco. I have a very large cellar and still smoke this blend often .very pleased to see the 7 oz.. can . A very pleasant smoke with a pleasing room note

Received the 8 ounce tin with seal broken and lid popped off inside the box it was shipped in, perhaps packed a little too tight. No one wants dry tobacco. Hopefully it was a fluke, burley and bright is one of my favorite.

The best every day pipe tobacco. No doubt.

Good aroma, nice blend mixture,

I like this old timer smoke more than I thought I would. It has the most noticeable flavor and aroma of all the classic burley’s I’ve tried. I puff gently, as it can bite if you go too fast. The flavoring is interesting to me, I look forward to a pipe full every day.

Good product!

A good tobacco

Love it...have smoked Half and Half for 40 years!

It took me a while to make friends with this blend. At first I liked it so I bought a tub. The stuff in the tub was not what I had in the pouch. The tub was laden with casing and it had a bite that would send Dracula running towards the Carpathian Mountains!! A few years went by, I had gifted most of the tub out to people. I decided to give it another go, so on my next tobacco order I threw in another pouch. This time it was delicious but it was still nipping at me. What I did was I started to change the type of pipe I was using. I smoked it in a few of my Kaywoodies and the stinger seemed to really help. Then I tried it in my Dr. Grabow Omega with a filter. Sublime! Tasty, tangy, smooth and a great room note! Pretty good nic-hit too.... This one you need a filter or a stinger.

When I started smoking pipe 40 years ago my first tobacco was half and half. However, I have not tried it again. It burned well and smoke well and I would buy it again.

🙂

Ordering from this company is easy and fast!

I have no idea I buy it for my husband which I know he likes but as far as I’m concerned I don’t like it. Because I don’t smoke a pipe ha, ha. He likes it, he thinks it’s great he wants it so I bought it for him.

this stuff has a great room note, and tastes great!

A classic that never gets old. Smoking this blend always brings back memories from the past.

Good burley to smoke by it's self. excellent burley for blending

Always good. It’s a wonderful blend to use to break in your pipe.

Excellent Service and Delivery 🚚 of Order 🤗

After reading numerous reviews I was worried when I tried this one. My first bowl I did not like but my second I did. I recommend drinking something sweet like a cola or sweet tea when smoking this and it pairs very nicely. I loved my second bowl and bought a big can for later. Not the best tobacco in the world but a good smoke on the cheaper side. Will be buying more again.

Pleasant to smoke good flavor for its money a traditional blend.

Wanted to try a few ounces since its common with pipe smokers. Aroma alright. Too much like smoking a cigarette.

Love the smell & taste. Very smooth

I like it

i love this

Love the flavor, great for mixtures too.

The smell is extremely unique and vaguely comes through in the smoke. Great old school burley blend.

Very pleased with product and service

This is a classic, this tobacco was used during the early years of great pipe smokers. Smooth, burns well,cut is small for the scoop and load your pipe , no packing. This is my go to tobacco.

It's o.k.--has a distinct almost cigar-like aroma, but the only reason I ordered it because the Prince isn't available.

im impressed how well this smokes! with a hint of cherry. ide highly recommend this if you have never tried it before.the room note is light and dissipates rather quickly.

I purchase these products for my Dad. Very pleased with the customer service and prompt delivery. Products have alway been delivered on or before the delivery date. Keep up the Great work. Angela

My uncle said this was okay but he won't try it again

About the same as Sir Walter Raleigh

It’s a really cool smoke. And it’s the same for me in every smoke

i threw it away.

Great!!! All the pipe tobacco!!!

nice aroma, burns a little warm for me .

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.

enjoy old codger blends slightly aromatic

it's great. thanks

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.

One of my go to tobaccos for daily smoking. The flavor and aroma is very pleasant. I like mixing it with other tobaccos.

An old fall back, reminds me of my grandfather who only smocked Half & Half.

mellow smoke, flavorful, stays lit.

Mellow smoke. No bitter after taste

This was my daily for years, but I moved away from it long ago. Ordered a couple bags last time, I forgot how good it was! Now a couple bowls a day!

It is the pipe smoking staple. If I could only ever have 1 tobacco to choose from, it is always gonna be H&H.

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.

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!

I used it in the 70's. Compared to the present, the scent is not the same

Great tobacco smokes perfect. Awesome service and price

I got this because everywhere I looked it was recommended as on of the best. I was not disappointed. Smooth and flavorful.

After a bowl or two I LOVE THIS STUFF !..There is no tobacco anywhere that tastes like this. Very different but wonderful.

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.

Great smoke

I have used these for years

Perfect, fast service

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.

good

Good, simple, slightly fragrant smoke.

Enjoy the flavor

Smooth with no bite. Consistently high quality tobacco.

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.

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.

Awesome, no other words

I like Half and Half in my rotation. The flavor is unique and quite a bit different from my every-day tobacco.

Would recommend

Old standby

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.

2nd gen fave.

5 * This is all my husband smokes. Very few places carry it around our location any more. Glad I looked you up and cheaper than anyone else !!!!

One of the smoothest I’ve tried and a better half favorite

Service was fast and product was fresh.

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.

Really Nice and Soft

The best smoking tobacco for me

Nice blend

I like better than MIX 79 because it burns more even.

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?

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.

H&H has been around a long time and is a consistently amazing smoke. I like it’s earthiness and flavor. Great all day smoke. Highly recommend this tobacco.

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.

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.

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.

It is realatively inexpensive and it is pretty good tobacco!!

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.

No wonder this tobacco has been around for so long. It’s soooo good. Sit back and enjoy

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.

its not bad but lane is better

Great half&half is a mix with 1/3 Capt Black. I've tried lots of tobaccos and blinds, and this is by far the best. Best wishes Phillip

I personaly love this tobacco. The taste is unique without being fake or overly sweet. I prefer this over CH or any of the other OTC classics. Smooth and ez on the tongue. Cant beat Pipes & Cigars pricing and service.

Yes, it’s great and I’ll be become your regular customer definitely.

There's good reason why it's been around so long, it's great

I think this is a must try for first time pipe smoking. I find it smooth and not to strong in flavors.

I have smoked this tobacco for many years and find it very satisfying . No other tobacco is as good.

My Dad has Smoked this for years and I have to say that I Love how nice it Smells

The tobacco is easy to light and stays lit. But the taste and smell stinks.

Cant go wrong with this one! Great aroma, pleasant smoke, worry free mechanics!

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.

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

Good taste. Burns nice.

iT SMOKES WELL AND I LIKE THE AROMA.

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.

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.

Good smoke for a nonaromatic

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.
