With some of my favorite tobaccos no longer available (Artisan Blend, Squadron Leader, ...), news that Dunhill tobaccos are no longer produced came as another blow. EMP, Nightcap, Aperitif, 965 - all gone?
My tobacconist has stocked Wellauer‘s blends for a long time, and said they bought the license to produce some of the Dunhill blends. As I had asked for EMP, he suggested I try Morning Pipe (without the Early).
So I did. And right away my taste buds signaled that this is not a replacement for EMP. For one (and the omission of Early suggests it), this is very mild. A tobacco for the morning and maybe the first pipe of the day, while EMP was a tobacco for the wee hours and maybe a day‘s last bowl. Next, there is too little noticeable Latakia in this blend, Orientals stay in the background, Virginias dominate. I actually wondered if this was an English blend at all.
That said, MP is a pleasant, mild smoke, and if you don’t expect it to be a clone of EMP, it may give you a nice surprise.
Edit: mixed about 2 parts MP with 1 part Wellauer’s Latakia Mix, and got a nice, well rounded smoke.

i never got the chance to try the original dunhill EMP, but this seems to be very similar according to common opinion, so now i understand why dunhill EMP had so many fans.
a nice, mild and pleasant smoke for the early day

A nice blend with a nod towards the Early Morning Pipe, which is not available here in Switzerland. Nice English blend with a pleasant Latakia nose. Very satisfying nicotine. Burns nicely to ash and easy to load in the bowl. The middle part of the bowl is nice and nutty. A nice and simple way to wake up especially with a cup of coffee, also good after lunch. I have enjoyed smoking it in the lightly falling snows of early December. Not sure if you get this outside of Switzerland, but worth a try if you can.
