You can get a lot of one ounce "match blend" samples from Pipe and Cigars if you're interested in trying a number of different ones.
Sir Walter Raleigh/ Carter Hall/ Prince Albert, all three winners in their own right...
Aro to me is not good...
What qualifies as an otc these days? The only ones I see are maybe Prince Albert and Carter Hall but they are usually sold by the tub for $50 plus, there are a few other generics I see at the grocery store but I wouldn’t smoke those in a ten foot pipe. Prince Albert can be found in a pouch at Walmart but that’s about all I see for otc blends these days, I actually haven’t seen Captain Black over the counter in a loooong time, though I suppose Walgreens still sells it? These guys serve their purpose and are fine “honey do” blends. Now if we are talking about the Euro otc blends, then we have a whole lot more to talk about, that is, if you have a taste for those kind of blends.
I didn't say I don't like Aros, just this particular one I do not care for. I like Lake Lands that would choke a lot of people...
For my money I would order a few pounds of Capstan Blue Flake from Esterval. Even if you are in the states the price is worth it. If you live inEurope the price is a steal.
The price can be as low as 50-80 cents per gram. For a world class smoke like that it is real tough to beat.

I love five Brothers and like Sail yellow. Sail Yellow is kind of plain but it's still tasty. Not a suss out the nuances type of blend, but like budweiser it taste like generic pipe tobacco nothing to rave about or complain about either..
good news im going with carter hall! and im also gonna try john bull
For a real drugstore blend, I would have to give my vote to Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic, though I have yet to find a brick-and-mortar retailer that carries the stuff in my neck of the woods.
If we’re going to include the OTC-style blends, I’d suggest Russ Oulette’s Angler’s Dream (available at a former site sponsor website). I’ll also add, if you try Chatham Manor and you don‘t like it, there’s the possibility you won‘t like pipe smoking at all.

My favorite "drugstore blend" by far is Granger. Unfortunately, you can no longer buy it by the pouch (or find it in an actual drugstore). You have to buy a big (8 oz maybe?) can. Easy to find, but if you don't like it, you're stuck with that big can of tobacco.
