I'm trying very hard to keep a positive outlook regarding the impending FDA regulations and am hoping for the best. But, with the selection of my favorite tobaccos dwindling at my go-to online stockists (as we all stock our cellars), the panic is starting to set in. I've recently become a huge fan of plug tobacco including Peterson's 3P's, Jack Knife Plug, Mick McQuaid, Warrior Plug, and Revor Plug. With the recent news that the latter 3 of these UK tobaccos will soon be discontinued coupled with the possibility that the former 2 may be unavailable thanks to the FDA, I'm writing to ask - which pre-2007 plugs will be grandfathered in and remain on the market?

Most of the famous plugs, including GL Pease ones, will not be grandfathered.

I could only find one which will remain untouched, Wessex Gold Brick.
There are some Gawith plugs as well, but they are not being actively imported to US as far as I know.

@ pilotage - It might have been discontinued already but I just purchased some from the James Fox website. Such a great tobacco. Sad indeed.

@peckinpahhombre - That might have been my misunderstanding. I'm a victim of a self induced panic.

This may leave Warhorse the last plug standing.
I have a few plugs headed my way, including a Revor 5 pack, courtesy of friends here and there. I haven't had the opportunity to smoke what I already have since I'm smoking down jarred tins first.
