I am really going to irk some people with this review....but someone has to say it
February 05, 2018

Product: Carter Hall Carter Hall 1.5oz Pouch
only because that by doing so, they also know they are discrediting the traditions and culture of rural life and history...their critique of Carter Hall is just one such example. I actually grew up on a farm in North Carolina; not in Boston, or NYC, or Seattle, or some place like that. We didn't farm tobacco because we didn't have any allotments, but the farmer down the road did. My granddaddy every year would be allowed to harvest a small portion of tobacco as a barter to things we had and/or grew. He would air cure it, and shred it himself, lightly spray something like simple syrup on it (i.e., sugar water), and guess what, it tasted just like Carter Hall when we smoked it (yes, I started smoking a pipe at a young age--12 in fact). Carter Hall doesn't have "undertones of honey" or "vanilla" or anything imaginary like that...it's simply a clean, smooth, great tasting tobacco that smokes cool and tastes consistent throughout the bowl. Please don't get caught up in all of the ignorance and pretentious idiocy that comes from others on the internet about Carter Hall; if you want an excellent traditional tasting smoke, this should be the first one you try (the other may be Sir Walter Raleigh's original blend).

Don't Dismiss It because it's OTC
July 10, 2017
Product: Carter Hall Carter Hall 1.5oz Pouch
ch each of Carter Hall, Half & Half, and Sir Walter Raleigh on the table and said "try out what your grandfathers smoked, boys." We did, and I found that I had given these OTC (over the counter) blends short shrift. Are we all tobacco snobs sooner or later? ;-) We get so wrapped up in our tinned blends of Balkans and Syrian Latakias, Virgians and St. James Perique, that we forget that sometimes simple is okay, and maybe even good. I've got perhaps fifty blends at home and am cellaring many good ones for even more variety, so perhaps that's why I was open now to these OTCs, of which I personally liked Carter Hall best. It is a nice blend of Burley--which I've always slighted--and Virginias. Some claim a top note--perhaps, but it is undetectable by me over the flavor of the Burley and Virginia. One large point seems worth making. It seems common knowledge that one "sips" Virginias, rather than smoking them like the pipe is a runaway locomotive on a steep downhill grade. Well, this applies to a Burley-VA blend as well, and in my further experimentation with straight Burleys of late, I suggest that Burleys are to be sipped as well. I guess my approach is this. If the flavor of a tobacco is subtle, sip it slowly and let the smoke move around in your mouth, approaching your various taste buds until it finds the ones that resound with pleasure. If you accordian the smoke in and out, your taste buds will not enjoy the tobacco. Frankly this is why so many new smokers go headfirst into heavily cased aromatics, or, lately, strong Latakia tobaccos early on. I believe they are looking for a flavor hit that engulfs their taste buds like a jalapeno. The pipe smoker with a few thousand bowls behind him comes to realize that in this way at least, smoking a pipe is like drinking a fine bourbon or single malt scotch. (Or wine, for you guys reading this and still wearing your tie). You get nothing but drunk gulping booze. That's only fun until you pass your teen years. With a pipe, smoking it like a cigarette is not fun at all, for you or your tongue--or your palate.
I bet you thought I'd never return to talking about Carter Hall. Tobaccos like this are a great treat for your palate because they are mild, yet when smoked slowly, in small puffs (sipping), they reward us with a very pleasing flavor and yet are gentle on a tongue that may have been abused by our experimentation with other blends that are not nearly as gentle. I recommend Carter Hall as an inexpensive and pleasant way to while away the hours between the next pipeful of Samuel Gawith 1792. Read Less

, one day I was out and about and bought a Dr. G on-the-fly and needed a smoke...and there was a box of Carter Hall. It was cheap, handy and had an age-old reputation – sold. I'm not sure where things went south. The Grabow pipe is still around and smoking fine, so it wasn't that. The weather was nice. I was with good company and even in a good mood. Inside the box was a nice vac-sealed pouch containing a dark flat-ish ribbon cut, burgundy in color, that seemed an alright moisture level. Everything was going good. I loaded it up and started a char-light. That's when my taste buds screamed at me...”DIRT!!! WARNING: YOU ARE SMOKING DIRT! Remove from mouth and rinse to continue.” You think I'm joking? No way, that's the only flavor I got from Carter Hall - dirt. I tried hard to give this a fair evaluation. I think I wanted it to be good so bad that I tried convincing others “it's not too bad”. In the end, I don't think I could finish the bowl. Truly, this is the worst tasting tobacco I've ever had. To this day whenever I hear about a bad blend, I want to ask, “Is it Carter Hall-bad?” I give it one star – one for every time I've ever thrown tobacco away. UPDATE: I continue to try CH every so often just in case. I've grown fond of many Burley blends over the past couple of years and think CH may yet hold some secret I've missed. I've heard that the tubs taste better than the pouches. I'm not sure how that could happen, but I suppose it's possible. I know CH has its fans, and for that I try to keep an open mind about it.

er about 4 1/2 minutes that tasted mellowed into a bland, mild, tasteless smoke. That allowed me to finish the bowl. My son, smoked a couple of bowls, to same effect. Needless to say, this is not the worst blend I smoked, but it is definitely close to it. The only redeeming quality I can find is that if I had made a bet to see if I could finish the bowl, I would only had to suffer for 4 1/2 minutes until the awful taste was gone. Read Less

A Good Inexpensive Smoke

Product: Carter Hall Carter Hall 1.5oz Pouch
morning coffee. I like my coffee to be dark roast with a smokey taste. My taste buds like Carter Hall because it mixes with the coffee flavor to give it an almost cocoa taste. I don't know if it is an all day tobacco because I don't smoke all day. I like a pipe with my coffee and in the evening. My evening pipe tobacco is different and may be an aromatic so that my wife can enjoy it too, but with my morning coffee Carter Hall is a good mix. I am not a Burley fan, but for this morning experience it does an admirable job. One last point, I have read some reviews that the reviewer seems ashamed that they like this inexpensive tobacco. Inexpensive does not have to mean bad. Carter Hall hasn't been around for 125 by being a bad product. Put your pride and ego on the shelf and enjoy Carter Hall with your morning coffee. I don't think you will be disappointed or ashamed. Read Less

you, I have bought and smoked some of the more expensive Burley blends, didn't care for them. But CH, I really like it. Simple, straightforward, a true delight when I want a break from my favorite Balkan or English blends. It is nice to light a bowl and just go on about your business. Matter of fact, while I type this review I am smoking some. This is not a cheap tobacco in the sense that it is an excellent value for what you get. Yes, I am going to keep a supply on hand and it will be a regular smoke. OTC blends tend to get shortchanged. Too bad. If you are a true Burley fan, I urge you to at least buy a 1.5oz bag and give it a go. Read Less

of Tartar" bomb; that ruined my taste buds for nearly two days. I'm probably going to replace SWR w/Captain Black. Anyhow, Carter Hall holds a firm lead over all of the other OTC blends I have. Cannot give it a five because there are so many other blends I find to be much better. If I were reviewing only Codger blends...it would get a five. But for me, with the star rating here, and considering all other blends; One is for "wish I hadn't experienced what I just did." Two is for "it was OK, I can deal with it, but not likely going to selectively re-order it again." Three is for "I'm on the fence; whether or not I will try it again. And whether or not, to add more of it to the collection. I'm 50/50 on this one at the moment." Four is for "definitely going to grab another tub/tin to have on hand." Five is for "most likely going to add this to nearly every order; because I gotta have it daily." *Update* I'm bumping my Star rating from 4.0 to 4.5 today. Because I just enjoy CH enough to do so. I do prefer CH in one of my clay pipes over a briar or cob though. Because CH really does shine when smoked in a clay. Likely due to the long stem of a clay has great moisture wicking ability; like a Brigham Rock Maple Distillator does. Read Less

Nothing fancy here. This is the type of tobacco pipe smokers bought when they were just looking for a good, honest tobacco. It won't impress anyone who wants to see a fancy label. Just a good, honest smoke.

th a fatal flaw. They topped it with the awful soapy potpourri topping that blenders experimented with (Field &Stream) hoping pipe smokers would warm to it. We never did. It f...ed up any blend they attempted to pair it with. The blender at RJ Reynolds got it right. Burley.....Virginia.....bourbon....cocoa. What could go wrong??? The answer is a resounding NOTHING!!! I have never not enjoyed this tobacco blend. It is, for me, the quintessential pipe smoking experience. It is the lover you will cheat on but always return to. They just got in right. Like the prodigal son, I always return. Read Less

This is a fantastic daily smoke. I enjoy it more than any other codger blend. I like to dry it 10 or 15 minutes, but it's good straight from the jar. Can't beat the nuttiness and slight chocolate from this blend.

I received a can yesterday, and I fell in love with it after I opened the can for the first time. Slow tasting, from beginning to end, the taste is consistent and even, without biting the tongue, it is very delicious!

I really enjoyed this iconic blend. Too bad Middletons moved production to Dominican Republic. I liked supporting an American company that has been around as long as Middletons has. No longer.They let us down. I'll miss CH.

tores and groceries, but in recent years harder to find. It’s worth a try, for at least as a devoted pipester you can submit yourself to an important test: can you bring an open mind to trying an OTC pipe tobacco blend that scores of pipe tobacco connoisseurs tend to deride?
The aftertaste proved inconsistent: at times I disliked it and at times I liked it—and the sugar from the Virginias and to a greater extent the topping can give you tongue bite. I notice it burned my nasal cavities a bit, too. Still, I do prefer it to the recent incarnation/version of the old British OTC blend, Gold Block. And importantly, I’ve smoked through pouches and tins far more respected that I found less enjoyable than Carter Hall (most were aromatics). The flavor was above decent. I’d be a liar if I gave this blend three-and-a-half stars. I’ll give it four. Read Less

known to smoke hot. You have to keep a very slow rate of smoking, but the strength of the tobacco is 1 in 5 and this forces you to increase the rate, which leads to hot smoking. If you are used to a strength of 3 or more, this tobacco will not work. There remains a bitter taste after. I don’t think I’ll go back to this tobacco blend again. Read Less

n't get different flavours as you continue to smoke, pretty much smokes the same way from start to finish and is pretty mild with the tobacco taste and the alcohol flavour is light. This tobacco stays lit better than any other tobacco that I have experienced, lights up easily and smokes more often than not with one or no relights. Overall a fairly decent blend especially considering the price. Read Less

earch and historical revelation discovered as a collector. You learn to respect and adore the old brands and old codgers. Carter Hall is one of those discoverys. That drugstore pouch is a venerable old blend, in production since 1950, while its current blender, John Middleton, Inc. Has been around since 1895. Generations of pipe smokers have loved and enjoyed the blend. In the pouch it's a rough cut mixture of burley with a little bit of Virginia. The tobacco looks and feels natural, its not goopy, its organic to the touch and its actually the perfect moisture level, its dry enough to smoke when you open it. The pouch note is nutty, almond and sweet. You can smell a flavoring but make no mistake, this is an old school American burley. In the bowl it lights easily and rewards you with rich notes of toasted pine tips, earth, wood and espresso. The burley melds effortlessly with the grassy citrusy and sweet Virginia for a very natural tobacco taste. The Bourbon topping tingles my tongue occasionally and the Cocoa / Chocolate flavor is very subtle. It's delicious and an easy choice for an all day smoke. Quality and value. Read Less

This blend is constantly mentioned so I figured I had to try it. It smells like sweet berries and has a fair room note. However, it's lacking in tobacco taste on your tongue. Quite flavorless in taste.

etty bad if you've smoked something better recently. I keep reading people say how it tastes like "real" tobacco, but most of what I get is a cheap liqor note mixed in with tobacco. It's not the worst thing ever, but I wasn't able to get through a whole pouch. I feel a bit defeated. Read Less

This isn’t a bad codger blend, but it’s not among the greats. It burns cool and smokes easy but had no flavor or nuance, not even a slight nuttiness from the burley.
I’ll definitely stick to my beloved Sir Walter Raleigh!

. Most of the topping is burnt away by bottom of bowl, but I like the tobacco flavor by itself too. I have smoked two pouches and will probably get more once I burn through some others. I definitely like this better than Captain Black Original. Keep piping! Read Less

nt sweetness - perhaps red wine - which is pleasant. Lights easily, but can 'smoke itself' if you set your pipe aside. Good all day smoke - room note doesn't seem to bother the civilians. Relatively low nic hit, but tastes good from one bowl to the next. Used to remind me of bubble gum (yeck), but not any more. Read Less

One of my first blends, and one of the better classic American OTC blends. Simple, chocolatey and nutty burley flavours; definitely more earthy than sweet, but not in any way overpowering. Very nice. I really enjoy it.

;, this is one of the best. It is a quality tobacco, not at all an inferior leaf. A nice consistent silver ash with good burning characteristics all the way to the bottom, little to no dottle.
Not an intense blend, or complex. Not something that is going to give a lot of satisfaction on vitamin N. But, I can see why folks have enjoyed it for years. It's just a smoke, nothing more, nothing less. Little bite, a great cake builder burns very well. Room note is pleasant, has that old school smell to it. I bet with a little more Virginia added to the blend it would be excellent.
Slightly aromatic, maybe... a hint of wine? It's hard to pin-point. Sort of reminds me of the same flavouring used in Half and Half, just much more subtle.
Does really nice in cobs in my opinion. I'll give it a whirl in a meerschaum. I've found it doesn't taste as well with pipes that have been broken and solidly smoked with mature Virginia's. Maybe I'll crack out an old Kaywoodie and reminisce on pops and granddad.
A classic American pipe tobacco, enjoyed for generations, with good reason. It's something that is definitely worth a smoke, with an open mind and a little nostalgia in your heart.
This is one of those brands, that all American pipe smokers should give a try. With every whiff I can stir up memories of casting a line with the old timers, or sitting in the duck blind with them. Read Less
