Like I said. Montral Light is close, but would take some tweaking. If I only needed "SENECA" it wouldn't be a big deal.
Any ideas?

Champagne has the same issue with the tips of the "C" and the "S". They are vertical in the original.
The "A" is also more pointed than any of the other close choices.
Kabel Book (at least the one I have) doesn't even get a cigar, but thanks for playing Tom
Probably won't matter, and I could get away with the Montreal Light, but darn I would like to ID the real one.

Gills Sans MT Pro
Looks like a winner, (if only it was available for nuttin', LOL!) Tough one to find by itself as a freebie, but I have bolder Gil Sans variants galore.

One thing that most of us here have realized is that we are often pickier than our custies.
It will be fine.

Yep, it seems as no font really duplicates the correct Gil Sans Light (there's a reason that they don't make it available for free).
Otherwise, the closest has been the Chantilly, but as I told Jay Kay, not quite deserving of a real cigar.
Steve if it indeed comes to it, I will be taking you up on your offer.
I have a few layouts to run by the custy, and we'll see which way we go. It's for adding some text on the sleeve and back, so they may opt to go for more punch with a similar bolder style (like the regula Gils San which I do have)
Nick (ftembroidery) when put right by the original, you can see the issues with Whitney. Seems that even Find My Font has trouble with this one.
Thanks everyone! This one was a challenge.
