Timeless & Classic, makes me reminisce

This blend may not be a fancy or expensive tobacco but it is such an underrated smoke. I’m particularly fond of the graphic and room note. It reminds me of the time when I was young sitting around with my grandfather who always had a tub of H&H in his antique shop. He’d sit there by the wood burning stove listening to his radio smoking H&H. Those were the good ol days in the mid 1990s. Every time I smoke H&H (now 34yrs old) it takes me back to that time. The tobacco is a nice Burley & Virgina with a topping, personally I get a nutty note with a little fruit. It burns smooth and cool with no tongue bite. I hope they make this blend forever....Read More
Listen to codgers, they know.

Lately, I've been strolling down Codger Lane quite a bit. After years of seeking only premium tins like anything less was not worth my time, I've learned that the more I think I know about tobacco, the more I have yet to learn. To my surprise, with rare exception, I have found that time-honored so-called “codger” blends are some of the best. Half and Half is no exception. Based on the simple principal of offering an equally Virginia/Burley blend when the majority of pipe tobaccos were either mostly or all Burley, Half and Half made it's own niche. It has a mellow pleasant smell in the pouch/can, and most people enjoy the lingering aroma in the room. It's probably one of three aromas that people lovingly identify as someone smoking a pipe, even if they know nothing about pipes and tobacco. The textures are soft and easy to load, catch light and burn at a nice rate, and the flavor is consistent from matches to ashes. The taste is mild and pleasant. It reminds me of sweet corn, but the formula contains many different flavors and notes from the common alcohol/anise combo to less common kitchen spices and nuts. A flavor profile often imitated, Half and Half is the original in its category. Like many old recipes, it's good because there's nothing wrong. It doesn't need to change or improve, it will always be successful. Although it's production has changed hands a few times, I've heard it said it remains remarkably unchanged. Listen to codgers, they know. Half and Half continues to have widespread adoration because it was right from the start. Enjoy....Read More

Pure tobacco flavor with the slightest taste of sweetness. Smokes clean with a light pleasant smell. Easy to to pack and light. No relights needed. This has become my go to for breaking in pipes.
Nice for a change of pace

I typically don't care for aromatics much - and this is definitely an aromatic. I didn't like the tin/pouch not the first time I smelled it. But something about it kept enticing me back. I really like the note now. As for the smoke, not a ton of flavor but enough to satisfy, like a mildly sweet dessert. I now know what people mean when they say that this or that tobacco is best when sipped, and that is true of this one. Easy, slow smoking gets the best out of this one....Read More

If you want to taste the nuttiness of a burley pick up some of this blend. Decent codger, imo doesnt come close to captain black but is enjoyable. Topping is a boozy like flavor, reminds me of brandy. Not my favorite but dont hate it by any means. Would be a great yardwork/camping/tinkering blend....Read More
It's delicious, you're going to love it

Well, after six months and dozens of pipe tobacco blends with various degrees of success, Half and Half has proven to be a winner. Just dump it in the bowl and light up, no muss, no fuss, no tamping, just start smoking. Even when you lean on it, Half and Half stays smooth and agreeable, with a nice, round flavored topping that fills in the gaps but doesn't overwhelm the tobacco. Very few blends are this totally agreeable and enjoyable. If you're looking for a place to start as a new pipe smoker, Half and Half should be near the top of the list....Read More

I decided to go have a try at the old codger blends since I got lucky and found artisan blends almost immediately. I feel like the tobacco in this blend is of good quality so gave an extra star. That said YUCK! The anise and whatever gives a slight mentholy piney something I feel like this would be a good blend with no topping....Read More
Outstanding tobacco!

I have always smoked high end tobacco,
After years of experimenting, I find this tobacco containing exactly what I enjoy. Half and half has a great room note, burns and packs extremely well.
