Consider the feedback so far...I grew up surrounded by Half and Half smokers. To this day it is a smell of home and my youth. When I took up the pipe it was my natural first choice. I found it to be pretty meh...and I did not get any of that sweet bright aroma in my mouth or retrohale. You may want to try smoldering some without smoking it so you can get the aroma without it passing your mouth first.

Interesting, I'll give that a try. I was underwhelmed when I smoked it compared to other tobaccos I have been learning with.

This, perhaps?

Won't know till I try! I ordered a small amount to test. Love that old can, nothing like well aged marketing. Thanks

Hi and welcome from Northamptonshire England, you should try to be like most of us and try every blend you can get your hands on, this is part of a great hobby. I can never smell my tobacco but if I walk out the room and then walk back in I can smell it, so start experimenting and enjoy.

Thank you and I am working on just that - while also practicing my technique. I saw a you tube video last night for a slow smoking contest in England - with the wining time being well over an hour on a single bowl, with a two match limit, needless to say, I'm on the steep end of the learning curve.

What others have said about not smelling your own room note is very true.

If you have somebody smoke it for you, and Half and Half does turn out to be the one, please let me know. I have an unopened can that is extremely old -- it probably dates back to when your dad was smoking -- that may be of nostalgic value to you (and maybe the tobacco is still smokeable).

Thank you sir, I grew up in CT, spent 32 years there before heading to sunny AZ for many years.

Will do, it's amazing to see how many folks have old cans of tobacco yet to be opened.

I go there often. Mesa mainly. Been to Chandler. Tucson. Tempe. San Tan. Queen Creek. Flagstaff. Scottsdale. Sedona. So many places. Been going since the 90s. Have friends there. Camping in Coconino. I've been all over there. I love it there. I remember going up to Lake Mead in the 90s and it was amazing. Not so much now. I need water and boats. So CT coast draws me near. Kind of a challenge now in AZ the water situation.

Heard today lots of fun in Lukeville. Tough place there.

Will do and that's a mighty kind offer, thanks!
