Do you mean tobacco or topping? Germain's Brown Flake has a great earthy tobacco flavour and Gawith Ennerdale Flake has a ton of topping/casing flavours going on. I love both.
War Horse Plug circa 1970, original Gallagher Condor Plug, Warrior Plug, Velvan Plug, Mick McQ Plug, RB Plug, Bosuns Plug. I am starting to sound like Bubba with his shrimp recipes out of Forrest Gump!
Care to name some decent plugs or ropes that are easily available? I caught some on a Gawith drop (like Black Irish X and Seeet Black Cherry Twist), but haven't tried them yet.
The absolute best I ever tasted was a 40 year old tin of Cope's Escudo. My god, that was heaven on earth in a tin.
Kendal Flake by Gawith Hoggarth & Co.
Don't think I've smoked anything else that has so many different flavours added to it. Pretty sure every bottle they've got in the factory was poured into making this one. Somehow it works.

Lovely smoke on a hot day kidder? Especially with a nice Gin & Tonic.

@simong I think Gawith tobacco is very well suited to clays; can you imagine how many clay pipes have been smoked with Gawith tobacco over the years???
I don't drink spirits but one of the Pirates I met at Matlock Bath suggests flavouring tobacco with rum the way they used to...
I think "Condor Moment" would make a great caption for a photo of a re-enactor smoking a clay pipe
When I bought my first clay pipe I thought there were only 4 different pipe tobaccos: Condor, St Bruno, Clan and Mellow Virginia...
I've tried all 4 of these in my clay pipes...

Honestly. I’m not joking at all here. It’s Granger. It’s why I smoke it. It just pops with flavor for me. — Now please, don’t run out to try it. I said, “For Me”.
Pegasus also running not far behind in my being able to easily perceive flavor.
A lot more going on in Pegasus. My premium smoke. Granger my anytime

If you want the best list of the most tasty blends, I will only charge you 10 bucks a blend since it is Christmas.
My list is the envy of all humanity and people pay thousands for my recommendations. Are you prepared to pony up? I charge 100.00 in advance for the first 5. My Paypal account is easy to fund, just type in I am a newbie and I don't know what is good to smoke.
I am really feeling generous so I will post a few in advance knowing you are a gentleman who honors his commitments.
These are all readily available but some will need age.
Capstan Blue Flake
Peterson Flake
Savinelli Dobloned'Oro
Mac Baren Old Dark Fired
Peterson Irish Flake....make sure you smoke it on a full stomach.

Two GLP blends come to mind: Windjammer and Barbary Coast
@ The Amish Tyrant: Bosuns Plug is available, Condor Plug you can get from Pipes Divan in Ireland (James Fox) but it is the Polish version which may or may not have improved. The others are no longer manufactured and unless you have accumulated large amounts like myself and Weezell managed to do before it was phased out then you are unlikely to ever get to try it. You might want to try the Cascadia Plugs from Pipes & Cigars one of the Forum sponsors as they have an incredible deal on right now. Here is the link:

Find Cascadia Sampler pipeSamplers at the lowest prices here at PIPES and CIGARS!

I don't think @kevin will mind me including this since they do advertise on here as far as I am aware. Anyway I have ploughed through each of the offerings from Cascadia and they are not bad and for the price point you cannot go wrong. Anyway I hope that helps out and answers your question.

Do your self a favor and don't buy anything the pikers recommendations are. They know nothing, I am the guy to tell you what to smoke.
Do you like aromatics? Cult Blood Red Moon and Sutliff Molto Dolce are the best.

I assume this is about which blends provide the most flavor. Penzance, Plum Pudding SR, Mississippi River Special Reserve, Eight State Burley are the first to come to mind. While I obviously favor Virginia blends and love the flavor, they're more monochromatic and not what I'd consider most flavorful. Capstan Gold RR And Sir John's Flake Virginia are two that have more topping and consequently, more flavor.
Not my bag, but Skiff Mixture was pretty full on for me.
Great for what it is, but I soon realised Oriental/Turkish/Latakia was not for me.
That's just down to my preferences though, if you like the above components you should really enjoy it.
