What Chinese cigarette brand is going to be best for a Dunhill smoker?
I'm heading to Shanghai in a week, but know nothing about the cigarette brands there. Anyone have a Chinese cigarette brand recommendation for a guy who usually smokes Dunhill?

Although you can find Dunhills everywhere here, if you really want a Chinese brand that may come close to Dunhills I would suggest ZhongNanHai. 中南海
ZhongNanHai's are extremely popular with a lot of foreigners who don't smoke red label cigarettes, in my city anyway. ZNH comes in many different mgs. They are: 10 mg, 8 mg, 5 mg, 3 mg. Personally, I go for the 8 mg. Check the contents on your current brand and choose the similar ZNH. They are also quite cheap (though in Shanghai they may be slightly more pricey). The prices range from 4 RMB for 10 mg, to 15 or 20 RMB for 3mg.
They come in a white box usually with gold or silver lettering depending on the mg.
Most of the red box cigarettes are very harsh and strong, that's my personal opinion anyway.
Shanghai may also have a local brand that might be similar. It seems quite popular for a lot of cities to have their own cigarette factory and produce their own cigarettes for the city.
Review of Dunhill Internationals, excellent quality tobacco good 9/10 overall.
