Best tasting tobacco?
(25 posts)-

Everyone's taste buds work differently, but my favorite OTCs, which I call American Classic Blends are:
Carter Hall
Ky Club Mixture
Velvet
SWR
GrangerI like them equally, for various reasons, but I think Velvet is the best tasting of them all.

Every person will answer this question differently but my favorite OTC blend is Prince Albert!
Mason jars and bale top jars, mason jars and bale top jars.... that is all!

Wow, big can 'o worms coming up...just remember, taste is very subjective; just because you love a blend doesn't mean anyone else will. I mean, hell, Mixture 79 has been around for ages, obviously people enjoy it...so, before you go and get your panties in a knot because someone doesn't like your favourite blend (or vice-versa), remember, they probably don't like the same foods you eat, nor beers you drink...but that doesn't make them any less of a person, nor does it you.
That said, my preferred OTC burley is Amphora Original Blend, but I've admittedly only partaken in CH and SWR for the U.S. OTC's.
***Sorry for the PSA; just sick of seeing people blowing up over nothing, ego's getting bruised, and people fleeing the board because of threads along these lines. Dunhill pipes, charred rims, and packing methods all come to mind...

Prince Albert and CBW for me.
And for people ego's being bruised let em'. I personally have enjoyed the last month or so of all the little girls crying. So I guess I will start.... Amphora SUCKS! lol i'm just kidding I actually kinda like amphora myself.Posted 9 months ago # -
My favorite OTC is Walnut, but I also have tried and enjoyed, Prince Albert, Carter Hall, Captain Black (White), Middleton's Apple and Velvet. I'm still on the fence with Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. The first two times I tried it I didn't care for it. I gave it another try last weekend, in a brylon pipe no less, and it actually tasted pretty good. I have yet to have a great smoke from the packet of Borkum Riff Ultra Light in my collection.

I enjoy Erinmore mixture or Alsbo black as my brit/euro equivalent drug store blends. I also liked the sample of Captain Black Royal my friend has.

Captain Black is the biggest seller of drug store blends from what I recently read, but then you can only believe 1/2 of what you read, because it was written by one human, which when you put your trust in humans, you'll be let down every time.

I fancy Capn Black Royal or White as far as OTC goes!

I've read both wild raves and firm regrets for any blend that's ever been on the market. I like PA and ERR (if you can find it), both of which are best experienced in a Cob.

The only OTC I've tried is PA and I like it just fine. My other faves are Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend, H&H Classic Burley Kake, 7 Seas Royal, and Solani.

I like both CBW and Royal. Royal's is a little more chocolatey. Not much of a fan of Borkum Riff. I do plan to try some PA if I can catch him and get him back in the tin.

My fav drug store tobacco is Sail Natural.

I've never had an OTC blend actually. My favourite blend right now is Peterson's Connoisseur's Choice.
