The tobacco lit and burned easily with one re-light.* I get a touch of sweetness and just a bit of pepper on the retrohale from this.* There was no bite at all, even when pressed.* There is a slight sweetness to the blend, and it is very light in body.* It really reminds me of a mild VaPer more than anything else, said Perique being of the spicy variety rather than the citrus that you get from that glorious leaf.

Overall, this is a pretty good grab and go kind of blend.* While it lacks depth and complexity, that very nature is perfect for a morning commute.* I was entertained enough by the ducks and geese winging across the freeway (see you in the fall, fellas!) and the pelicans setting in for the day – sipping this from my cob and listening to NPR fit the bill just fine.

This was your H&H blend- Old Companion

Old Companion is a blend to bring back great memories. A traditional American mixture of pressed Burley and steam-toasted red Virginia which has a nutty/toasty flavor and a nice cool burn. Reminiscent of many of the old foil-pouch blends that Grandpa and his friends used to smoke. This is one for the whole day, everyday.
