EMP substitute?

 Looking for a blend similar to Dunhill EMP . I know eventually that i won't be able to find anymore.

I think there is a "Match" version available at P&C.

I second the match version from P&C. I have it in my cellar and for my taste I prefer it to actually EMP.

Not to get off topic, but if anyone is a My Mixture 965 fan, try Father Dempsey’s Blend from now the late Kramer’s tobacco shop. You can get it at SPC since C&D does the blending and tinning. This is another one I prefer over the Dunhill name.

@Jayhawk422I'll second your recommendation for Father Dempsey.  I had been fortunate enough to visit Kramer's in Beverly Hills a few times in the past, and was sad to hear of it's closing at the end of last year.  I have a few pounds of Father Dempsey hand blended by Marsha in my cellar right now, along with about a pound each of their blends for Danny Kaye and Cary Grant.  To my taste I would also prefer FD over 965.  I was happy to hear that they are tinning it.

Can't find the match for EMP. I saw the nightcap match.

@BlueCollarBastard sorry it was a Sutliff match.

 It's all good.

If you're looking for an EMP substitute - and not a perfect match - I've found C&D's Byzantium to be a good morning smoke. It was recommended on Country Squire Radio, and I think those boys were right. It's a mild English blend, but not so mild that you don't get some nice complexity from the latakia and oriental tobaccos.

@mseddon @jayhawk422   thanks for the reply

I've never tried EMP, so I have no experience to offer. But I stumbled across Greg Pease's description of his Chelsea Morning while looking for something else. Look at the bottom of this page:

What a relief! At first I thought this blog was about a new-fangled substitute for an Electro-Magnetic Pulse...
