Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Half & Half Regular

This is not the same Half & Half as once was desired by many back in the day. After stopping by the Tobacco Store & picking up a few things I made the bad decision of getting a flap of this stuff. After arriving home & fixed a glass of ice tea I went to my smoking spot, my porch and packed a bowl. 3 puffs later I was trying to figure out what to do with it. It was awful! My dog gave me this go to hell look before he limped off & the neighbors gathered trying to figure out how to call in a fire retardant drop from the forest service air wing. Took 20 minutes of brushing my tongue before finally getting that sweet burnt tar flavor out of mouth. Maybe I had a bad batch, but roofing tar with molasses was the smell. Good luck..

This is the absolute worst thing I've every smoked. I used to work in a chemical plant, and this tastes like what happens, if ya get smoke in your mouth, during a fire in the plant. Personally I wouldn't even give this as a joke. It may work as an execution product though, in a word HORRIBLE !!!

I didn't care for this tobacco. I found it smoked hot and tended to get bitter. It also tends to bite if pushed and left bits of caramelized dottle in the bowl.

I removed the contents from the pouch and put them in a small jelly-sized jar. I still have most of it and will pass it on to someone who likes it... if I can find someone.

Happy Puffing,

Mike

I like half of it and hate the other half. If you like smoking cough syrup this is for you. I would not waste your money.

I have smoked only a handful of bowls of this tobacco. The pouch smell is OK, as are the moisture and burn qualities. I like the initial puffs, as they still give off that "crisp" sensation. But it goes away about 10 minutes later. What's left is the closest I've experienced of smoking a cigarette in my pipe. If you don't know what that means, good for you. For those of you that do know, you might consider it unpleasant. It's just not what I want when I smoke a pipe, so I can't recommend it... Period.

Smells of cherry in the pouch. The smoke tastes of anise, this fades to an ashy cigarette like taste. Smokes cool, like the pouch says. Slight tongue bite. No nicotine or gurgle. Pleasant to retrohale. Good about staying lit. Minimal dottle.

It is easy to buy a horrible tobacco when you have to get one from a gas station or grocery store. You often get what you pay for. In fact, other than the readily available Prince Albert which I feel is worth the cost and does a decent job as a pinch hitter, this one is not worth the purchase.

The flavor was reminiscent of a hospital or some Vic's Vapor Rub. It was just gross.

Unless you want to revisit memories of Grandpa in hospice; best to avoid.

Bought this on a road trip when the store didn't have my brand. Not my favorite it has a citrus, fermented apple smell to it and it tastes like smoking an ashtray.
