Milan "Our" Kentucky Club Mild and Paul's Pipe Shop Arrowhead are in constant rotation.
Others would include Iwan Ries Virginia Flake, and Milan Milestone.

Arrowhead from Paul's Pipe Shop in Flint (they take phone orders). It's a kitchen sink blend of tobaccos and flavors.

Watch City Cigars has an excellent bar of blends, too.

The now MIA Watch City Slices

I like just about everything I've had from Watch City. An underrated blend would be an aromatic from a semi-local (to me) tobacconist in Ridgewood, NJ, and it's called "Gentleman's Corner." It's got a bourbon/vanilla type flavor and it hits the spot when I want it. I'd like to think it's blended at the shop, but it could be a renamed Sutliff or Lane blend for all I know. And I don't really care. It's tasty and I like supporting a local shop.

Watch City Cigar’s Old Dominion and 558 Flake are phenomenal.

LJ Peretti #8 slices and Boston Slices are great.

 

[PA Piper Mike]

I haven't tried too many shop blends, but the ones I've enjoyed and smoked the most so far are:

Boswell's Northwoods
Country Squire's Cowboy Coffee
Country Squire's Figgy Pudding (just b/c it's the season for it)

Haven't a clue. There are so many of them.
