McClelland A.M. Pipe
(2.94)
An alternative for Dunhill Early Morning Pipe. A great 'first pipe' of the day for the fan of English mixtures. Awaken your senses with this blend of Orientals, bright and red Virginias and a hint of latakia.
Notes: A.M. stands for "ante meridiem" or before midday.

I was lucky enough to get some of this recently and am thankful I did. One of the best English blends I've had. Smooth smoke with a beautiful aroma that didn't make people around me run for the hills. Did have to relight a little more than usual, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume some user error. It wasn't enough to be a real inconvenience anyways. I highly suggest this blend. Do not pass this up if you get the opportunity!!!

I was hoping this would be a bulk version of Frog Morton, but while I don't dislike the tobacco (after two bowls), I can't taste the latakia. So it's not a sub for Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe either. It has a pleasant sweetness (red Va, I assume) that I don't associate English blends. I bought two oz. and will give it a chance, but I don't see this blend, as good as I may decide it is, satisfying my taste for latakia.
PS: I like Pirate Kake, which is 75 percent latakia.
UPDATE: It's growing on me. One indication is my inclination to have a second bowl this morning.
UPDATE II: I had a thoroughly unenjoyable bowlful in a Nording. Bad aftertaste too.

Let's see, how should I say this? Well here we go, Alternative is not a Replacement! I'm saying this because everyone who has smoked EMP seems to be missing the point as described. McDonald's is not Burger King but it is an alternative! I smoked EMP for 30 years but I didn't expect AMP to be a copy of EMP nor should it be, it's an alternative! Anyway as tobacco goes this is a nice blend to start your day. It leaves you looking forward to your next bowl of AMP or whatever may be in your rotation. Sorry if I upset anyone with may rant. If I did I apologize I may have been on the net to long today:)

Not recommended. And it is definitely not an alternative for EMP. Not even close.
