Most of my smokes lately are codger blends in a cob at work. Half & Half is more my favourite I think, it is nuttier and more mellow than SWR. And it has a hint of anise that I like. I find SWR a little sharp but I do agree that its flavour and aroma tend to correlate to the tin note and a general tobacco flavour/aroma. I tend to rotate them from day to dayand as work-a-day tobaccos they both have appeal. The cob could probably use a rest, it only gets the week end off and it's running 4 or 5 bowls a day.
