I had hopes that many of you who are about the dying age, would have the lowdown on old school hard candy that you just don’t see much anymore. Like small batch made for a specific area.
Kidding of course. Make me wonder, was candy 100 years ago much, much, better than todays candies?

Werther's. And anise squares. And lifesavers (all flavors). And atomic fireballs. And a good dental plan. Oh, and Zotz.

I don't know if it qualifies as hard candy. But English toffee is my favorite. A local candy manufacturer, a little one shop place makes up some chocolate covered English toffee that's the *best*. It's expensive, but I treat myself to a box every now and then.
Their shop is right across the street from one of my favorite gun shops--so I often come home with a box of brass and a pound of English toffee.
Lemon Flavor Fisherman's Friend cough drops are my go to when moving around hunting. Copenhagen once I'm sitting still.

Enjoying a Claeys Horehound as I type this. I also like Werther's.
Horehound, anise and black licorice. Occasionally spearmint and peppermint. Nothing like a little sugar boost to keep a guy going.
