Royal Yacht is a trick to duplicate but Peter Stokkebye Proper English, while gentler than Nightcap, is awfully nice. (I never thought to slip some perique in it....)

I think two claims 965 can make are:

1. it has very consistent flavor and quality; and
2. it's about the most mild english blend in the field.

Sometimes gentle is nice but PS Proper English is nice, too.

Supposedly the C&D Good Morning blend is a replica of Dunhill Early Morning Pipe. I was checking some reviews on TR and they say it comes in pretty close to the EMP.

Junkyard Dawg is duplicate of Barking Dog. The best thing to is check through the C&D catalog and keep your eyes open.

It just so happens that I just got an email from McCranies and they now have some house blends to satisfy Dunhill lovers.

Thanks for the great links and information. I guess I'll get a few and try for myself.

I am sorry I took so long to get back to this. Mister Moo was very gracious in sending me some of the bulk 965 to sample. I must say it was different. A good different but still different. I had not really tried any true english blends. I can definately see that it would be someone's everyday baccy as the blend states. I am anxious to try the nightcap, as it seems Dunhill's blends are made exactly for what they state they are made for.
