What are people's favourite flakes, plugs & twists?

I love the above and with flakes, for some reason I find it quite appealing when they are really chunky/thick?
What are people's favourites? :)

Sweet Maple Twist sounds delicious... for a donut. Wonder how it will translate to tobacco.
Sweet maple twist is a sam gawith brown rope with topping applied using a VERY light hand. You have to go looking for it at times. Definitely not a typical aromatic as the name may suggest. All the tobacco you want with a faint kiss of sweetness.

I really enjoy the following...
GH Happy Brown Bogie, Brown Irish Twist, Dark Flake (Unscented), and Dark Plug. All of these do not require heavy puffing to get great flavor. Slow puffing these strong tobaccos fill the palate with rich dense smoke. Half bowl makes for a good long smoke.
SG FVF, BBF, SJF, and Navy Flake are my favorites of this brand.

Wow. Didn't expect that.

Before, when I have seen posts about various tobaccos, I have noticed suggestions, but a lot of people saying pretty much the same thing (for Viginias, Lats, VaPers etc). But these are pretty varied. I wonder if it's because they are less smoked than other kinds and maybe harder to get for some so there isn't a general consensus?
Some of my faves are: Revor plug, Sam Gaw Cabbies Uncut, Gaslight, Luxury Navy Flake, Stokk' Irish slices.
To name a few :)
