smoked paprika-- what brand?

I'm finally going to buy some smoked paprika. Is there a specific brand that's best? or store?

    La Chinata's best simply because it turns over quickly in most stores. I keep mine 'fridged to stretch its shelf life(it's stale-dated, so check the can). As Pizza Lover said, don't pay any more than $4 for a small tin.

      I buy the La Chinata brand from Spain - both the sweet and hot smoked paprika (which adds a nice spicy kick in addition to the smokiness). They're only $4 or so at Highland Farms.

        They carry La Chinata at the House of Spice in Kensington on Augusta near Baldwin.
