This thread will probably read like a shopping list for the tobaccapolypse, but I am curious what blends people will be most disappointed to lose if this whole FDA thing goes down. Cheers!
Blend(s) you will hate losing the most?

All John Cotton blends, all Pease blends but one that may be discontinued, same for Seattle Pipe Club blends.
I am really liking Seattle Pipe Club Pike Place. Love P&W blends and Peretti and not sure those will continue as I don't believe they are manufacturers. Gaslight and Quiet Nights. The list is long, too long to fully flesh-out here.

I am stocking the shit out of Chelsea Morning. I also just ordered some Picadilly since it sounds like it might be a close match.
Also ODF, Mcc Aniversary are well stocked. I just pm'd Sasquatch about a great looking "Prince-pot" on his web site. I really like it but I am tapped out. He said everyone is broke due to stocking up on tobacco, even him.

I'd be surprised if MacBaren doesn't ante up to keep their blends on the US shelf. They've got a worldwide market and deep pockets.
Weren't most of those GLP blends released well before the cut off date?

Legends, Yenjde Highlander,Smyrna #1 and Drama Reserve. That being said, I'm doing what I can to delay the loss to me personally.

Here's a link to Tobaccco Reviews Archive for GL Gease as of 5/2006:

Note that many blends in this list are extinct.

At this moment I would say Bengal Slices because I only have one tin jarred currently and just revisited it for an evening bowl and had forgotten how good it was. Dang I just ordered $175 worth of tobacco last night and now it looks like I may have to order some more soon.
I suspect that imports, regardless of the date of original & continuous manufacture, will need to comply with the new FDA rules. I don't know if the pre-February 2007 grandfathering would also apply to them. Perhaps a few like MacBaren, as suggested above, may decide to pay-to-play. I think that many would say, "To hell with the Yanks & their FDA!"
Losing all or most of the imported tobaccos would be tragic, especially since most of my favorite tobaccos are imported. It would be almost as bad as losing all single malt's
