If you like Granger or Velvet, how can you not like this. This is much dryer than Velvet though. Too me Velvet is too moist, and needs some air time to get it in the zone. Granger is the strongest of the three, with H&H running a close second. Grangers quality control has been slumping though. I don't get it! How could a company who makes both tobaccos have high consistancy with one, and low consistancy with the other? Half and Half is a mix of dark and light burley. There may be a hit of VA. in it too to give it it's sweetness. It has a good natural flavor and a pleasant aroma. Just a good old school burley. Lots of nicotine too. This produces an extemely cool smoke no matter how you pack it. It doesn't burn my gums like Prince Albert or Carter Hall. Half & Half is a very smooth smoke. The flavor is that of tobacco and raisins, but very, very mild on the raisin note. This is readily available in my area! Just a walk aroud the corner to my local Rite-Aid, and I could get a 14oz can or a pouch easily! I was smoking fancy, class A virginia for awhile, but I can't afford them no more. For $16.00 I could get a can of old standby, H & H. This smoke definitely takes me back in time. The 1920's and 1930's, and of course, smelling my grandad's pipe filled with this when it still came in the metal cans! ENJOY!

This is, briefly, a pretty fine ‘codger’ blend. It’s fancier than most, with better pricing. Its Deer-tongue method gives it a pure cool burst to explode. Its Virginia-Burley are at its finest toast. The rich topping contains whiskey to surface the smell. The three types of leaves are well-equaled to give an all-around genius smoke at a reasonable price. The good thing is, it’s available in ultra-small packets as well as the 7oz. tin. This is unlike Granger or Prince Albert as well. The artwork is technique on the label so to show off it’s good. Apparently, it had switched labels, but it’s back on track under STG by Lane Ltd. I believe that whenever I have a pipe’s rotation, this will always be in stock. Two thumbs up!
