I am looking to try a “standard” OTC. I have narrowed it down one or two of the following

Sir Walter, half and half, Prince Albert, carter hall and mixture 79

Any suggestions? I usually smoke a wide variety of styles and cuts from most of the popular blenders, so I am sure I will enjoy all of them in their own way but I still would like some suggestions

Carter Hall FTW.
Smooth sweet and flavorful, burns like a dream, perfect for a cob.

I like Carter Hall as a mixer, but for smoking straight I prefer Prince Albert. To me, it has more flavor than Carter Hall, but, as always, YPMV (Your Palate May Vary).

Sir Walter or Prince Albert. I buy a can of those every year. Great everyday smoke.

Carter Hall is a fine burley smoke. I can say this because I smoked a pouch.

I wish I was able to find one I liked these past 40 years. As a lataholic, there just doesn't seem to be a fit.

Actually, I take back my comment above: they have it in stock now, but bad timing: I am gonna be in Europe for about three weeks and I can't order it as it would get here when I'm away. Blast and botheration! :x

Carter Hall for me. Of all the easy to find OTC blends near me it is by far the tastiest.
