Peterson Early Morning Pipe

This is an English blend with very little punch. It smokes easy and it agrees with almost any occasion. I tend to enjoy more strong tobaccos, but this is a pleasant smoke for those who prefer it softer and mild with little latakia and a nice leaf of orientals slowly spicing the virginias.

I have been smoking this blend for a month, and I have to say, it is growing on me. The more I smoke it the more I appreciate the subtleties of its flavors. It is specially enjoyable outdoors. I´m not passionate about this blend yet, but in my young experience smoking pipe tobacco, it has become the blend I´m turning to when i´m unsure of what to smoke.

My first smoke was a little harsh, perhaps due to my 'haste' to get it to deliver its worth. Subsequent smokes have proved far more exciting and interesting, without any tongue bite or harshness. On the balance, this is a well rounded blend though not as mild as many reviewers have stated. It tends to light well and and stay so for most of the smoke. A little sweetness does exist but the Latakia and the Oriental 'spicyness' are evident all through and tend to dominate. Good for a morning smoke but just as good for an all day smoke.

Dunhill EMP was my very first trip into English style tobacco territory and I consider myself lucky for that. I keep ordering new tins sporadically and I have some unopened tins from different eras in my private stock that I open on special occasions. It used to be an absolute favorite of mine.

Today I think it still is a good and decent smoke with the VAs and Orientals leading the game and Latakia being the supportive element in the background. A no-brainer, easy handling, very consistent.

BUT: My personal perception must have changed quite a bit and I call it "the fragrant blend", because I still love the smell, the fragrance while I smoke; But when I focus on the taste alone, EMP seems kind of vapid to me now. I'll have mild green tea with it rather than coffee, if that explains it.

OK ORLIK! I've tried your offering of My Mixture 965 - good, Royal Yacht - good, and now EMP - most impressive. Once again, from opening the tin both the aroma and texture are a near perfect representation of Murrey's recipe and the flavour should be savoured on its own merits, without dwelling on the past. A number of EMP devotees (of 20 years +) in the shop allowed me the privilidge of getting one tin before they bought the entire stock. They give it the thumbs-up also, so I am definetly not alone. Definetly 4 stars until I can see some consistancy over time, but I think this new EMP will get more and more admirers.

Only the Virginia Flake and Navy Rolls and two more mixtures to go and this will complete my return and reviews of the 7 factory blends that Orlik has re-launched under license.

EMP is still the most well balanced, friendly smoke, good and original flavor in the Va/oriental tobacco available today, this blend is my reference to evaluate other Va/Oriental blends made by other tobacco makers.

This smoke is delightful, Tasty and mild. Inexpensive (I buy it in bulk), easy to smoke and maintenance-free. The perfect all-day smoke.

Simply; if you like oriental blend, buy some Early Morning Pipe!

Delicious. Much like Nightcap only milder. Others have done such an adequate job describing this blend that I'm not going to take the time to repeat what's already been said. Suffice to say that if you like Nightcap, you'll likely enjoy Morning Pipe.

Before I start. If Mr.Dunhill is reading this; I like your tin. Very simple but unique.

I only smoke a few English blends and this is the one I probably smoke more then the rest. When I do seem to want EMP is on the weekends. Where I can just sit back drink my black coffee and unwind. From there, I'll smoke it most of the day.

Upon tasting, I receive the VA but not strongly. There is no sweetness at all. It's enhanced with Latakia & Oriental but none of the above are overpowering. They are well balanced and even. Dry woodsy to sometimes slightly bitter (but in a positive way).

Aroma wise, my wife is not fond of it but she lives with it. She says it smells like "Burning Leaves" (when she's in a good mood) and "Just Smoke" (when she's in a bad one). Apparently, It's not for mixed gatherings.

And last, I have a habit of inhaling Early Morning more then most of my other tobaccos. Maybe it satisfies the old cigerette smoker in me.

A good English.

this is very good when you want to smoke something even before having breakfast...although i don't smoke at the begining of the day but every time i feel like doing that this is real good and pleasant,very mild & the taste is almost perfect for the time you jsut have woke up...BUT the smell(flavour) of this is not the thing that attract everyone...since this tobacco is roasted it smells like something burned!!!but when you start smoking it amazingly all the bad smell is gone & good taste comes...

I forgot how much I enjoyed this blend until a friend gave me a can recently. This was a blend that I enjoyed in the early 80's and somehow I lost track of it. Being a fancier of oriental in particular, and red virginia in general, this really is a smooth, flavorful smoke. I enjoy this with a big mug of black kenyan coffee in a backyard recliner. It packs easily and burns consistently down the bowl to a grey/white ash. I seldom need more than one relight, so long as I tamp along the way. The flavor becomes fuller to me the farther down the bowl I go, ending with this smoker in a state of satisfied bliss.
