Favorite OTC?

[Fight'n Hampsters]

I know this is highly subjective and unscientific but I am curious what your favorite OTC or "drugstore" tabacco?

 

[Doc Manhattan]

Ever? Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed. Still available now? Carter Hall or Granger.

 

[Brewdude]

I find them all pretty much on the bland side for my tastes. That said, a bowl of Prince Albert in the morning as a first pipe after a light b'fast isn't a bad way to start the day.


Cheers,

RR

Carter Hall, to me a v. pleasant all-round smoke

 

[Lestrade]

Granger or PA.

 

[SailorJack]

Sugar Barrel

 

[flytyer]

Granger

SailorJack knows of what he speaks,,,Sugarbarrel is just simple plain old good,,,,seems to be vanishing as several other tub blends have, but such is the fate of OTCs in a gourmet tobacco market.

For me in order;

1. Carter Hall

2. Prince Albert

3. Walnut

A virtual tie between Carter Hall and Velvet.

 

[jader]

Not sure if this is an OTC or not, but for me I like 1Q.

 

[Fight'n Hampsters]

Good suggestions. I'll have to get them. Carter Hall and PA seem to be at the front of the line.

I'm suprised nobody reccomended any Captain Black blends.

 

[Hunter5117]

Go back and forth between CH and Walnut.

I'm enjoying the walnut on it's own and blended, glade I got more than one can.

 

[MisterE]

Been a while but I did enjoy Captain Black White from time to time.

 

[Rob_In_MO]

Ok, i'll bite. Captain Black - either the White or Royal.

BTW - CBR is the equivalent to Lane's 1Q.

Now for a REAL treat in the morning, mix a little BCA in with your CBW so that you have a 2:1 ratio of CBW:BCA. It livens up the CBW and really gives it a much needed boost. Probably the best room note of any aromatic i've tried.

Been trying to find Half & Half but having a hard time. Pretty tasty though. Might have the best room note to me of all the OTC.

CH, H&H, and PA are about the only name brand OTC tobaccos the 'tobacco stores' around here seem to stock

I,m new to the initials. What's BCA?

Carter Hall -- one of only three tobaccos in my "almost every day" rotation (the others being Old Joe Krantz and Northwoods).
