Takes a wee bit of patience to light, but once going the taste is not unpleasant. Rather standard light english with some minor PG issues. The components are nothing special but do the trick and are fairly balanced.
Generally tame and well-behaved other than the initial lighting issues, this Fox & Hound is a reasonable---if somewhat weak---facsimile of an english blend in taste.
Local B&Ms would do well to carry this in addition to the sweet aromatics in this Tobacco Galleria line that they usually offer; I would happily reach for this before the old drugstore standards if it was available.

I have to agree with the reviewers that find this blend to be similar to Middleton's Walnut. It's a mild English that would work as an all day smoke. As with Walnut, Burley is the star of the show.
Walnut seems to have a bit more Turkish flavor, which I enjoy, and so, of the two, I'd buy Walnut before I bought Fox and Hound. So, then, only two stars.

Altadis says Fox & Hound is a medium English blend. I don?t know that I would go that far. A very light English style blend is more to the point.
This blend has just enough Latakia to show up on your radar, but not so much as to get you chased out of the room by moderately tolerant non-pipesmokers. The Perique (or as I suspect ? Perique flavoring) is mild and unobtrusive. Actually, everything in this blend is pretty mild and unobtrusive. It is a cool dry smoke, with a bit of character to it. F&H gives the smoker an overall melding of the flavors of its constituent tobaccos. It has a slightly smoky flavor that is almost sweet, but not in a sugary sort of way.
Fox & Hound doesn?t demand your full attention through either its complexity, nor any tendency to bite. Take it fishing on one of those days when you go out hoping you don?t get disturbed by anything like the fish biting. Sit and read a book with it when you want to get totally lost in the book, but want a pipe for more the feel of it than the taste. When you want to settle in and get lost in a bowl of tobacco, find something else. In this case, you will no doubt find that Fox & Hound comes up short.
