I like PA. It's a great mild smoke, perfect for the morning when I want to drink some coffee. There are a couple local B&Ms at which I have found where I can buy some, so no problems with availability. I've combined with a few different tobaccos, but by itself, it's quite satisfactory.
I must admit, though, that I have more of a soft spot for Half & Half. PA is still good, though!

Hails to a fellow death metal listener! It's ideal music for pipe smoking, although sometimes doom (Skepticism, Ceremonium) can be useful also...
Good review. I love my premium tobaccos but I always keep a pouch of Prince Albert or Carter Hall on my car bench. I occasionally get in the mood for a good, old fashioned American blend and when I do, nothing else satisfies.
The Prince must find another pipe to live in. The last pouch I got made me sick. I almost went to the E.R.. The embers hit something in the tobacco halfway through the bowl and fizzled audibly, turned a nasty yellow-brown and I almost suffocated. Blood pressure and pulse went through the roof and I thought I was gonna puke. No more Prince for me. I'll stick to the Captain or my beloved Paladin.
That sounds awful. Smoke turned yellow-brown... hmm, almost sounds like a bug or something in there. I know that happens with the pre-bagged lettuce for salads so it could with tobacco as well.
I get em all in tubs and usually find I like the ones most that get depleted first. Scarcity seems to enhance value.
As for some otc style bulk burley at an even better price, try some PS 702. I think they sell it mainly as a mixer, but it smokes wonderfully all by itself. I think it's still on sale at Pipes and Cigars? anything 4 oz or more @ $1.75 per oz. Considering that PA or CH is around $33.00 for 14 oz. that's an incentive.
