Peterson Early Morning Pipe Tobacco (Formally Dunhill)

Product Description
Specifications
Reviews

Early Morning Pipe by Peterson is considered a standard of measure for what a light English blend should be by a large number of experienced pipers. The flavor is sour, sweet, and tangy more than smoky. Because of the balance of the constituent tobaccos, the smoker is able to discern subtle flavors.

What is in it?

This blend is an English mixture which has been pressed and stoved. This blend uses the following tobaccos.

Latakia: Cyprian Latakia is present in a small amount.

Oriental: The Oriental tobacco seems to be mostly Turkish.

Virginia: The Virginia here seems to be of the Red and Lemon varieties.

What does it smoke like?

Early Morning Pipe is considered a benchmark English blend by many. This is a lighter flavor than you may find in some other blends. No one component is the center of attention here. The blend is flavorful, and it seems to be very balanced and well rounded. The taste is dry in the same manner as some wines are dry. Since the latakia is very lightly added, one should expect a sweet and tangy flavor with very little dark smokiness. A consistent blend that could be smoked all day, this would make an ideal introduction to English blends. Similar blends would include Presbyterian Mixture and SG Squadron Leader.

How to prepare it?

Peterson uses a beautiful medium ribbon cut for many of their blends. This loads into a pipe very easily. A brief drying is recommended but the tobacco is certainly smokable as is. Use a lighter pack for maximum flavor, and tamp at regular intervals.

Tastes great, but burns fast. Good stuff here though.

A smooth light English blend that is perfect for beginners. Has an almost buttery smoky flavor that grows in sweetness. Perfect with a cup of coffee and makes for an overall relaxing, pleasant, and enjoyable experience.

I'm fairly new at smoking pipe, but this blend has been very nice change from aromatics. Really need to smoke it after a meal because they nicotine level in it was a little much early in the am. Other than that, I am very happy with the light flavor and change from aromatics as my usual. This one will be a go to smoke for those days I dont feel like using aromatics

Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

I usually smoke more aromatics, but occasionally do enjoy an English blend. This is one of the best I’ve found so far, smooth and mild, excellent flavor. It stays lit well and smokes pretty cool. Being more used to aromatics A La Captain Black, I am somewhat of a lightweight when it comes to nicotine, so this was a bit of an adjustment, but nothing slowing down and savoring it won’t fix. This will likely be in my regular rotation. Would absolutely recommend!

Subtle and Familiar

This tobacco pairs well with coffee. It has a sweetness that reminds me of my Great Grandma smoking her Marlboro Reds. The nostalgia hit was enough for me to say I may just get this again. However, it was just missing that "Wow Factor" to give it a perfect score. Would recommend.
