Rub it out real good and let it dry for about a week. Then smoke it. It is a vintage, strong, cowboy smoke! Back in the Civil War days and old west days, this is how guys smoked pipes. It does have a taste like Half&Half. I chewed both, thats how I know. This has more sweetness due to the molasses. To dry it out, put it in an old sock and wrap a rubber band on the end to close it. The sock breathes allowing the Baccy to dry out and at the same time keeps it fresh. Once dry put it in your pouch or a Ziplock.

The package says "Days o Work." It comes in a 2x3x1/2" brick, wrapped in dark tan paper, all sealed in a plastic wrapper; fairly readily available.
I chewed this for about 2 1/2 years and it was my favorite. It is the strongest tasting of any chewing tobacco I know, and gives the strongest tobacco experience. This is brown tobacco held together by road tar. It's so gooey that it's impossible to get it lit. It would take a blowtorch. It is very goopy, tarry, and sticky. It was a mess trying to get it into the pipe and light it. I wasn't about to try this in anything but a corncob. It's ridiculous to try to smoke this. It was too messy, so I gave up after one effort trying it. It makes an excellent chewing tobacco, what it's labelled for use as.
Samuel Gawith specializes in plug tobaccos recently spotlighted in Pipes and Tobacco magazine. These tobaccos are actually meant to be smoked in a pipe.

I took a suggestion above on this and used the sock drying method, which yields a delicious result. A strong smoke with hints of raisins and molasses, as it is a chew. Doesn't burn for very long, but if you can get it going, you will be rewarded. My recommendation is only so low because it does take a little bit of extra work to make this smokable, which some may not be up for.

This is indeed a very economical way to experiment with plug tobacco. Up until the Civil War, tobacco was predominantly chewed. Both North and South issued plug tobacco to the troops at no cost, and indeed it was smoked in pipes as well. This is a very simple Burley plug, mildly sweetened with molasses. There are probably some other flavorings, but the amounts are so small as to make them impossible for me to discern them. This may taste like the old version of Half and Half, but certainly does not remind me of its current incarnation. This is very straight forward, and too plain for me to smoke with any regularity. However, if you are a history buff, or simply adventurous, it is worth a try. This is very easy to slice and rub out. Let it dry for a good while, and it will light a bit easier. Best in a clay or a cob.
