If Warhorse green doesn't have enough anise for your taste, then the only thing more potent in flavor I can think of are Avanti Annisette and Avanti Licorice cigars. The Anisette ones are truly over the top in aromatic flavor. I can't stand them. The Licorice ones are a bit tamer and have a somewhat different flavor profile, more of a mint component to the overall licorice flavor. Try supercharging Mixture 79 with some anisette cigars blended in. Mixture 79 is much tamer today than it was decades ago.

I am getting a very slight anise flavor from the new Kopp 1919, but only strait from the tin (unless my nose is lying to me, no promises😅). It fades quite a bit when dried, but still a very nice blend, especially for the price.

WHG always reminded me of smoking a bottle of Anisette and not in a good way - especially considering it was meant to taste like Condor but somehow swerved off the intended path when the Oompa Loompa's at C.I's blending department got hold of the concept.

If I recall reading correctly, the WHG blend was lighted upon when all involved were a little lit….

No it isn't. On Tobacco Reviews it says anise, but STG says they use corriander and cardamom. It certainly smells like a mix of corriander and cardamom.

Half And Half Pipe Tobacco - Burley And Bright Welcome - https://halfandhalfpipe.com/hhp-home/
"Half and Half is a timeless mix of loose cut burley and Virginia tobaccos with flavorful notes of cardamom, coriander and maze." - the website

It has notes of those things but is considered an anise aromatic. It uses anisette as a base topping.

My favorite anise-flavored tobacco is Esoterica Ramsgate. Anise is found in a plethora of tobacco products, including cigarettes.

Interesting article from 1952. Says that some plug tobaccos were nearly 20% licorice root. It simultaneously mellows, flavors, and sweetens, while helping to maintain moisture level.
