Really enjoyed a pouch of Half & Half that I bought in 2015 & recently finished. I'm seeking opinions as to the how the most current version compares.

I see that now it comes in 7 oz. cans instead of the old larger tubs. I've been reading as to how other old codger blends have changed in recent years & wondered if Half & Half has too. I'm simply too cheap frugal to just buy a can...

See if you can find a smaller pouch vs a can.

When I mix a Virginia and burley blend at home, I am always surprised at how good it is. It is sort of a sure bet for good smoking, and sometimes better than that. Therefore, I was surprised when I tried Half-and-Half, some years ago I admit, and it was pretty harsh for a codger blend. Nothing I wanted to try again. If it has improved, I'm glad.

What tobacco brands do you use for the VA and Burley components if you don't mind my asking? I'd like to try doing that.
