My first OTC blend. As I'm admittedly not a fan of aros usually, I've decided to give this a try just to see what the history has been about. My tin is of the Lane Limited production for those who have seen this blend change hands. What I found upon opening the twelve ounce tin was a decent enough ribbon cut. Kind of unusual tin note. I still can't name that smell. But it's kind of sweet yet a tiny hint of almost vinegar. The tobacco is sufficiently dry enough to smoke with little to no preparation. Lights very easily. Decent white pleasing smoke billows. Maybe a touch on the light side of that compared to what I normally gravitate to. But for what it is, I'll accept it. The taste is of the average aromatic to me. Sweeter than I prefer. But not bad in any way. I did not find the cherry taste at all. I did find a little anisette and perhaps I kept thinking I got a mild honey taste. End result being pleased for what it is. I'll keep it around just to flirt with from time to time when I need a break.

For real H&H reviews and description, please see Scandanivian Tobacco Half&Half. This must have been done in error.
Although I do get a kick when people read aromatic, they use it across the board and rate the flavoring more than what is actually there.

I last tried this many years ago. It came in a small card box with a plastic bag of product inside. There was no evidence of casing at all and the appearance was of a mixture of darker, ribbon cut with light torn leaf. It was what the box said - a half and half mixture of dark burley with bright Virginia. Mild and neutral with an 'outdoorsy' smell of autumn leaf-fires. Packed and burned well. However, this clearly is NOT what the blend is now.

I purchased this tobacco today for the first time from my local smoke shop. The notes form the pouch give off a chemical cherry cough syrup smell with a hint of fake chocolate. I smoked this from a cob it lit well smoked cool but the overall flavor was of artificial flavoring. I blended this with some my mixture 925 and the flavor was still unpleasant.
