We know taste is subjective but for me, the top plugs are Revor, GH Dark Plug, Mick McQuaid (RIP), 3Ps, and Salty Dogs. I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple but these come immediately to mind. A sharp knife is an absolute must for prepping. Enjoy the journey!

Love Spark Plug...I wish GLP would package that in 8oz tins.
If anyone else would like that in 8oz tins, email Smoking Pipes and let them know. Apparently my email request isn't enough.
Another vote for Revor plug. It can be pricey in the US if you include the cost of the plane ticket to the UK. But if you're there anyway, pick some up. The flavoring is a bit odd. I can't think of a single other thing like it. Or even a good way to describe it. My best ballpark would be: Lightly salted blueberries smoked over an oak fire. Except way better than that probably sounds. But anyway I like it a lot.
3P's is also quite good. No detectible topping. Just delicious tobacco flavors of burley, Virginia and a bit of Kentucky.
Jackknife is in the same direction as 3P's for me, but rougher around the edges. Definitely good, but I prefer 3P for the mellower smoking experience.

Went through a few plugs early on and decided none of 'em deserves my precious time prepping them.
I still have a few over a dozen that I got when members here did a bulk group buy from Germany back in 2015 for $9/plug. Eight years have turned them into bricks that I can only cut with a serrated blade.
GH Dark Plug is probably my favourite. I like slicing up plugs to prep them for smoking, I find it almost as enjoyable as smoking them.
I made some plugs with Whole Leaf Tobacco's dark fired and dark air cured with various combinations of home grown burley and bulk condimentals that turned out a lot better (and stronger) than expected. I put them in an old C&D tin to carry them, so it counts as tinned right?

Gawith Dark Plug, Salty Dogs, GLP Jackknife Plug In no particular order.
Most of my favourites have been mentioned already. I’ll throw condor and warrior into the mix
Open it, I was gifted some and it's great stuff. You won't regret it!
I was smoking it yesterday.
Makes for a good chew as well.
While technically a log and not a plug, I’m chucking tambolaka on this list too. I’d love to see george’s slicer take that on
Too much hassle and lack of space for a tobacco type that doesn't even comprise 1% of my cellar. A good tool for those that primarily smoke ropes and plugs but knives and cigar cutters are fine for what few of those I've got.
Warrior, Condor, RB Plug, War Horse (Original 1980) Wessex Gold Brick, Bosuns Plug to name a few!
Did anyone ever try Velvan Plug? That one looked right up my alley. They need to reintroduce all these discontinued plugs. Warrior, Mick McQuaide, Yahtsmen. I bet they'd sell out real fast.
