My local states everything they have is there original blend and they don't have any wholesale bulk, but all three jars are actually lane blends. They charge about. 4-5 dollars an ounce.
Last time I hit the B&M I got two ounces each of three blends totaling $21. So that'd average to about $3.50 per ounce.
When my local carried much in bulk, Blends like Stokkebye and Gawith were four or five dollars an ounce, while Lane and C&D were a little under 2.50 an ounce. That having been said, I haven't seen a new bulk tobacco in there in some time. They're mostly a cigar shop. Though they are a fantastic cigar shop, and their lounge is great, I wish there was some place more pipe oriented to go locally. One of these weekends I'll make it down to Boswell's and report back.
I don't have a B&M where I live in Ontario CDA. We have a tobacco shop in Kitchener, ON which is about 45mins away. The house blends are all $22.95 for 50g. Tins are about the same if not a little cheaper and none under $19. OTC blends are around 15-17 per 50g pouch. Horrendous prices in Ontario, in fact all across our country.
The B&M closest to me has a great selection and they don't mind telling me who makes the blends and what their names are. The only problem is they want $6.50 an ounce and it's mostly Lane and Stokkebye. There's a place near my work that has a small selection of Lane, Stokkebye and MacBaren in bulk (no tins) but the guy there doesn't know the blends names but he sells his bulk for $4.00 an ounce.
I also live in Ontario & find prices are just crazy here, way too expensive. I am so thankful for having access to great online retailers such as smokingpipes where I can get some of my favourite tobaccos for around $1.80 an ounce. I can get 16 oz from smokkingpipes for $26.55 here in Ontario I get about 2 oz for about the same price. That is just how ridiculous tobacco prices are here in Canada.
I order ALL my baccy from Rich at 4noggins. With the $25.00 shipping fee, it still only comes to $3.00 per ounce when I order 2 14oz tubs. Way cheaper than $11.00 per ounce or $22.00 per 50g pouch here in Nova Scotia. I have been ordering 2 tubs per month lately. One to smoke and one to stockpile.
My local pipe store mixes almost all their bulk blends on sight (They carry a few McClelland bulk like 5100 - Red Cake). Besides those, all other pipe tobacco is tinned or pre-bagged. Their own blends are about $3.50 per ounce with tax, though they get cheaper as the amount you buy goes up. I can't recall the amount the McClelland bulk goes for off my head, but I think it's about $4.00 dollars an ounce or more.
All this talk is making me wish it was Friday already so I could head on over.

The pipe store I've been going to is an independent shop, most of the blends are lane or Stokkebye with a few that he mixes himself. The prices range from $3.50-$4.50, but I think there are a couple blends that are a little more expensive.
Around $7.90 an Oz, which is the same as tins. So I rarely buy any, other than real single shop own blended tobaccos.
My B&M has some Lane and Stokkebye, but the won't tell me who the maker is. When I ask to smell the tobacco I look at the sticker on the back of the jar and it states the name :mrgreen:
They get anywhere from $3.5 - $5 per ounce. I find it cost effective to just order tins from our sponsors since their tins average $12-$16. I do like going there to support the store though.
