If you are lamenting the loss of EMP, fear not, for Skiff is at hand, perhaps a little more stronger than EMP, but what I would consider the same basic components, Skiff is a nice easy start to the day for Latakia fans who don't want to be slapped over the head with a Cricket Bat in order to wake up.
A fine compilation of quality tobaccos, Orientals, Turkish and Latakia I beleive are the main components that give a good easy going smooth smoke, easy to light straight from the tin, no drying time required and low maintenance. At the end of the bowl, just ash no dottle = no wasted tobacco.
I enjoy Latakia in the colder weather and Skiff along with Squadron Leader for the daytime, and perhaps Perfection for the evening could well see EMP 965 and Nightcap fans satisfied, at least to some degree.
(For those at a loss for the sad demise of Nightcap, I am led to beleive that Ashton's Artisan's blend is a very close call. Personally, although I had the chance to try Nightcap, I refrained, no sense in falling in love with a tobacco that is now discontinued, except for the Japanese market, beleive it or not)
For myself, Skiff will help to start the day nicely with Squadron Leader, on the beach, dog at the side and bitter Nor Westerlies blowing. Love it.
