[Robby]

hey guys looking to hear thoughts on any common otc besides captain black a new guy would like thanks!

 

[sablebrush52]

I'd go with Chatham Manor from P & C.

Carter Hall/Chatham Manor

Prince Albert and smoke it in a Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob pipe. Buy the pouch first to see if you like it. If it wins you over, buy it in the tubs, they taste better then the pouch IMO.

While you’re at it- may as well look at 1 oz sample blends from tobacco shops that ship online. Basically the same price for much better variety.

I’d recommend an oz of Black and Tan from The Country Squire.

I don't know where you live. If you live outside the US you probably won't find it either locally or online.

I'm surprised you can't find it locally. Just order it online, most online dealers carry PA.

I tried CB, PA, CH, wound up smoking 1/2 & 1/2...

 

[Olkofri]

Basically, all the OTCs I've tried suck. Do yourself a favour and upgrade to the next level: the Seven Seas series from MacBaren.

 

[jaytex1969]

If you're in Illinois, you owe it to yourself to make a pilgrimage to Iwan Ries.

That said, I agree with tradition that Carter Hall and the newish Amphora pouch line are a decent place to start.

Don't smoke the OTC that olkofri has tried, as they apparently suck. There should be some that he hasn't tried, though...

C&D has a great number of blends in bulk that could keep a new smoker entertained for a while. Those are OTC if you go to the right counter, aka your local B&M tobacconist.

Prince Albert, if I had to choose one.

 

[canucklehead]

Amphora Original Blend or Full Aroma, best pouch tobacco if available to you. Can't go wrong with a MM cob to smoke it in.

 

[petes03]

If they were still made, I’d say Sugar Barrel and Walnut. Some say the match versions available on P&C are pretty good, I’ve never tried them myself. In the mean time, Carter Hall, Prince Albert and Half & Half are all good.

Amphora for me. Regular or burley hit the spot.
