Does anyone know of another brand of tobacco that is comparable to Frog Morton?

C&D Yale Mixture and Samuel Gawith Winter Time flake are similar. WT Flake was a limited run however. Others will chime in but both of these were light in strength.

I have not tried this yet, but I would recommend mixing one part Lane BCA to three parts of your favorite English blend and see what happens.

Frog Morton Cellar is the only Frog I know, and with its barrel stave block in the tin, it reminds me of some of the best whiskey aromatics, but there's nothing quite like it even so.

The Froggies will be dearly missed by many, however, as much as I enjoy smoking some of them, there are many other tasty blends out there. The Frog Morton line covers the English/Oriental/Balkan genres. My favorite among them is FMOTB; perfect for those moments when I want to indulge in a very friendly English/Balkan style blend with some Lat flavour. However, I find Dunhill London Mixture and Presbyterian Mixture to be superior with far more authentic taste. Many enjoy Dunhill Early Morning Pipe. Recently, I've been enjoying C&D Bijou for my Oriental fix. Although none of the blends I've mentioned here match a Frog Morton blend, they are similar in that they lean to the milder end of the spectrum, as do the Froggies, each with its unique smoky taste and individual charm.

Did Frog Morton have A vanilla sweet topping on it?
I would pick up GLP Charing Cross, or Dunhill MM 965.

I'd try the Sutliff English Light or English Mediums and add latakia as needed.

I remember someone on here mentioning a close match to a Country Squire house blend, but can’t find the thread. Maybe they will chime in.
Others have mentioned Rattrays Bagpiper as being close, if you can find it.

If you are a fan of Frog Morton Cellar, try Boswell's Countryside or Mac Baren The Solent Mixture.

I've seen that, too, and it's a mystery. Bagpiper has no Latakia, and has a weird supposedly cognac topping. Nothing like any of the FMs, in my opinion. Sutliff has various aro-Latakia crossovers that would be a better match.

I enjoyed them all, but the Frog Morton (Plain, Ort Original, or whatever one calls it,) was my favorite. There’s no true substitute and won’t be until another blender manages to replicate it.

I hesitate to say this, because it's "wrong." Frog Morton Cellar is a premium artisan blended product not to be compared to anything more ordinary. But to be honest, if I had a "Mac-Attack" type yearning for it, now that my fine three-ounce tin is gone, I'd probably grab some Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic, for that tobacco forward lightly flavored, cleverly harmonious joining of flavors. SWRA is no Frog Morton Cellar, but in a pinch, it fills the gap.

The Country Squire blend is called 'Shepherd's Pie'. It's the closest blend to FM that I've found. First blend to scratch that FM itch since I've been looking for a replacement.

I like Presbyterian & 965 -- hard to go wrong there, though they're slightly (!) different from FM.

Looking at YouTube videos, I have heard recommendations for Boswell Countryside and Moonshine XXX. I have tried both and find I like them, but I have not had a chance to try FMC yet. I did go on eBay and bought three tins of “sealed” FMC. When they arrive next week, I am looking forward to trying it and comparing.
