Update: This has become my number one blend that I smoke everyday, I just can't help myself reaching for it. To me it is a perfect balance of all four tobaccos used.

As an English blend(whatever that happens to mean currently) it is very mild. Appropriate for a morning smoke as the nam says. I cind that like the previous reviewer it is just as good throughout the day as well. The Latakia is very light and hardly noticeble,the Turkish is as well while the Burley seems to overshadow them both. The Virginia however is very nice and reminds me of other blends from Dick.All the parts of the blend see to work well together and though the Virginia stands out from the Burley they all seem to work well together.

S little heavier hand with the Latakia might be a good idea it seem but then again it might not be as friendly a "morning pipe" as it is.

The flavor is a little on the sweetish style for a true( again, whatever that means) English blend and it is not all that noticeable.

Strength is as already stated mild and pleasant. Room note is a tad over the "pleasant" line but not that much as my "very significant other"-- my dear wife evaluated it's aroma.

So there you go. Nice,sweetish "English type" blend that could serve as a pleasant all day puffcandidate.

It's a full and very robust blend which takes full advantage of the various tobaccos used to comprise it. I swear that by my third consecutive bowl, I got a hint of CHOCOLATE in the taste. I know this was due to the Latakia, but it was reminiscent of the enjoyment I've gotten from blends like Bob's Chocolate Flake.

I smoked this blend ALL day yesterday and found the name is a misnomer. Joe's All Day Pipe would have been far more appropriate. As I smoke through more of Dick's blends, I'm just left shaking my head in amazement and appreciation. While I still enjoy Alan's Inspiration, I enjoy this blend more!
