Do you blend your own chili powder?

But it’s been my experience that using only one variety of chile in my chile produces a lackluster result.

I agree, although I will say Penzey’s is better than most. I think most commercial chili powders are mostly ancho, which I enjoy but IMO doesn’t have enough deep chile flavor to carry a pot of chili on its own. I like to add smoked and sweet paprika, guajillos, arbols and pasillas at a minimum.
