What's your favorite OTC sold in a pouch? Mine has to be Five Brothers followed closely by Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. The two mixed together is pretty hard to beat too.

My two favorite OTC tobacco’s are Amphora Original & SWRA. I’m extremely impressed with the new release of Amphora Burley. All the years I’m smoking a pipe, I have yet tried Five Brothers. I’m going to order a couple of pouches of FB when I order more Amphora Burley. I need more tobacco like a hole in my head......but I still look forward to purchasing a new to me tobacco 👍👍👍
PS
I too must add.......what ever tobacco leftover I mixed with SWRA was an excellent smoke!!!

Darin..........all those superb choice plugs in a pouch is one BIG reason I miss living in Europe. I was lucky enough to pack up and ship my tobacco’s back to the States. Mostly original Rattray’s made in Scotland in the 4 .oz tins👌👍👍. Poland destroyed Condor.....for me not smokable!!

About 4 or 5 years ago, it became clear to me that these would be very hard to get soon so I stocked up. |

Amphora Original is a great blend. I always seem to forget to add it to my order and I've been out for several months now. I've looked for it around here and have came up short, so I guess it's not really an OTC for me.
SWRA always hits the spot for me. Sometimes I want it, other times I just want a pipe but cant decide what to smoke. SWRA takes care of that decision.
I'm yet to try CH and have had my eye on Granger for a while. Like Amphora, I completely forget about them.

Currently Amphora Original. I didn't care for it much when I first tried it but found that rubbing it out in one of those 'spice' grinders really made a difference. I'm a burley fan and I've tried the new Amphora Burley but didn't like it as much as the original. My second choice is Lane Limited Ready Rubbed.

Five Brothers, Carter Hall, Half & Half, SWRA (in that order). Half & Half isn't as popular as others, but there's something about the aroma and flavor that rings a certain bell for me.

I think it has to be Carter Hall I'm with you Mike. As a matter of fact, just finished a bowl of CH earlier this evening... One of life's simple pleasures. |

I like CH and SWRA but recently have been smoking John Bull and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite OTC's.

Over here I wouldn't say amphora original is an otc. No place stocks it except my b&m, in which case EVERYTHING is otc.
That said, it's one of my favourites. But we also get macbaren cube in a pouch and Presbyterian in a pouch.
True otcs over here are St. Bruno, condor, mellow Virginia, and possibly gold block, but even then I only get that in my b&m.

This is an easy one. Its been Prince Albert for me for many years. It was the first tobacco I smoked and has stayed with me constantly ever since. There is a lot of tobacco I like but PA is the only one I am never without and smoke daily.

I guess it qualifies. I like to mix two that have already been mentioned: John Bull & Five Brothers. I'm an incredible lat wimp and the 5 bros. tones it down nicely for me.

I would say Carter Hall, but I buy it by the 14 oz can so my favorite pouch is SWRA. I have taken to carrying a pouch with me and just finished one up yesterday. I need to stop at the local Piggly Wiggly (Piggly Wiggly. Ha!) and grab another.
