Hearth & Home Daybreak
(3.23)
After receiving some calls and emails from members of the New York Pipe Club lamenting the loss of Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe, we wanted to develop a blend with similar characteristics to EMP. After a number of "tweaks", we sent a sample to the club, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. We're now making it available to the general public. A traditional English mixture of sweet Virginias, fragrant Orientals and rich, smoky Latakia.

Aged two years and it bites like a mother @$!#@r. Too bad I have a pound of this stuff. Contains low quality Virginia, oriental, and latakia. Not much else to say about it.

This attempt to replicate Dunhill's E.M.P. utterly fails, in my opinion, to achieve it's objective. Preferable are McConnel's #925--not a 965 replica as advertised; also Rattray's mixture #7, Red Raparee, and Professional mixture; McConnel's mixture #1. King Charles is also very good and in the taste neighborhood.Daybreak was so un-assuming, so muted, so mild, that I felt there was no point in smoking it and I chucked it without regret.
