Arrowhead from Paul's Pipe Shop in Flint (they take phone orders). It's a kitchen sink blend of tobaccos and flavors.
Watch City Cigars has an excellent bar of blends, too.

I like just about everything I've had from Watch City. An underrated blend would be an aromatic from a semi-local (to me) tobacconist in Ridgewood, NJ, and it's called "Gentleman's Corner." It's got a bourbon/vanilla type flavor and it hits the spot when I want it. I'd like to think it's blended at the shop, but it could be a renamed Sutliff or Lane blend for all I know. And I don't really care. It's tasty and I like supporting a local shop.
I haven't tried too many shop blends, but the ones I've enjoyed and smoked the most so far are:
Boswell's Northwoods
Country Squire's Cowboy Coffee
Country Squire's Figgy Pudding (just b/c it's the season for it)
