Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
I don't write reviews often, but this one seemed to be a given. As is my usual practice, I opened a tin of Peterson EMP, the day after I got it, and the day before I smoked it. The introduction of air to a vacuum sealed tin always tends to excite t... Read More
he poor tobacco that has been deprived, and it gets it pretty excited. Well I must say I was incredibly happy to have EMP back. From the moment I opened the tin I could remember the wonderful scent of Dunhill EMP. From the moment of the 1st burn, everything was right in the world again. Thank you Peterson for picking this back up, and keeping it exactly the same!! Read Less
Toasted Bread, Tangy Spices, Caramelized Smoky Sweetness
January 27, 2020
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
EMP touches all the right notes for me; it’s citrusy at first light, lightly spiced with Orientals that balance nicely against the predominate toasted bread and caramelized sweetness of the Virginias. The Latakia is at best 20%... possibly even 10%,... Read More
but it contributes a very soft smokiness. You’ll not find the sour, woody incense like Orientals in your face, but they do lend a subtle spice and sweet tanginess to the bready Virginias. The flavor and strength are just shy of medium, and the nicotine is too, which I find perplexing as Virginia isn’t typically that high. One of my favorite anytime smokes, and it appears for others too as they’re always out of stock. Wish they’d reintroduce this in bulk like before. Read Less
This is the good stuff
April 06, 2020
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
God it's good to have this tasty smoke back in the saddle again. Pipe of this and a black coffee is the best start of a day. Early Morning Pipe has a pedigree that's pretty hard to match. Its origins began in the "My Mixture" book started by legendar... Read More
y bespoke blender and businessman Alfred Dunhill in 1907. True to its name, it's a great day starter. It's smooth, pleasant, delicious and its toasted barley sweetness pairs wonderfully with that morning coffee. The flavor and nicotine are in the goldilock zone for a brilliant all day smoke. The tin note is something of a signature for the Dunhill blends. Like a fine scotch it has a toasted barley and fired peat note. It always reminds me of Laphroaig. The star of this ribbon cut show is the tangy, nutty, earthy Orientals. The Virginias, lightly pressed and lightly stoved add a note of hay, barely, and bread with a good amount of sweetness and theres a touch of smokey/earthy Latakia that is absolutely lovely and well done. Perfect on an otherwise empty stomach (mild nicotine hit). The blend is a marvelous and delicious wonder that six generations of pipe enthusiasts have fallen in love with. Thank you Alfred! Read Less
My Go-to english blend

Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
Sweet, smoky, slightly tangy. Quite flavourful yet not heavy on nicotine. Perfect with black coffee.

Perfect way to start the day!
November 15, 2019
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
The English have a way of smoking their tobacco through the day. Part of that ritual involves little to no latakia in the first pipe of the day. The Dunhill version of this seemed to have almost no latakia, which is strange because the recipe peterso... Read More
n is using is supposed to be identical... The peterson still has very little latakia as an early morning English should, but it has enough to where I can discern it unlike its predecessor. It's a very pleasant blend and it goes great with a hazelnut light roast coffee, nice and mellow for a perfect first pipe of the day. Read Less
Absolutely beautiful

Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
The lat/oriental balance is perfect and the blends for each are superb. Wish I could buy in bulk because my closet would be full of the stuff. It’s my number one. Absolute without question buy it if you enjoy oriental English blends.
My Everyday Blend

Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
I love this blend - just the right notes in every aspect: taste, tin note, room note. Earthy but not too heavy with mainly the Latakia coming through at first, but the fruity orientals coming forward as it smokes down - it is a little heavier on the ... Read More

Sourdough Bread
February 14, 2020
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
Smoking this blend low and slow produces a sweet sourdough bread flavor and aroma. At times the floral essence comes through greatly and there is a very slight vanilla phosphate taste. There is also a very natural tobacco taste. Burning it hot kills... Read More
the flavor but smoking this cool produces a fantastic flavor and aroma. (Much more than I expected.) I asked my wife what she thought being in the room with me and she mentioned that is was much milder than most blends I smoke. (Blackpoint is my go to smoke)...This however, is fantastic and will become a regular. Read Less
A fine morning smoke
November 25, 2019
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
Sweet virginias, mildly spicy orientals and a kiss of smoky latakia make this a good wake up tobacco. This isn't my absolute favorite blend of all time, but it's one that I smoke nearly every day. It's invigorating and satisfying, like eggs, bacon, t... Read More

Just as good as when Dunhill owned the blend. One of the essentials. Thank you, Peterson.

Simple and gentle

Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
A good tobacco blend, but plays with me to want a little more out of it. Seems good at times, but also can be too much campfire. I wrestle with it, but that can be a good thing. I would still recommend.
Makes my Saturday morning ten times better!
November 14, 2020
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
I would be glad to have this tin for a life time.
Goes well with the first cup of coffee after breakfast.
Reminds of me of the childhood times in the village. I would rate 4.4 out 5.0!
Surely one of my favorite ever.
轻柔和缓的烟雾
November 11, 2020
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
毫无疑问这种调配是为了清晨的第一斗烟而设计的,轻柔而平淡的烟雾。前半段给我的感受是一种没有劲道的,夹杂蚊香味与篝火味的巴尔干风味,拉塔基亚的表现差强人意。中后段烟气略微增强,我只在背景中略微体验到红弗吉尼亚的甜味,整体缺乏变化与层次。从第一斗烟开始我就意识到这并不是我的菜,我会耐心的把整罐抽完,然后彻底和它说再见。

Unrefined Opinion
November 07, 2020
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
I'm not a guy with a super sophisticated palate. All I know about tobacco generally is that I like it or I don't. This is the first time I have smoked EMP, and it's great. It is indeed a morning smoke. Just the right amount of punch to start the day.... Read More
Of course you could smoke it all day and it would be fine. But it's not heavy, which makes for a lovely, smooth beginning to your morning.
When I opened the tin I found the moisture content right on the money, and I'm happy that it's ribbon cut. It's my preferred style.
Adding to all this, it's the quintessential beginning of a fall day. Overcast, 65°, a gentle breeze rustling the tops of the trees, and a cup of joe with me on the patio. Put all that together with EMP, and you're sure to have a winner. Read Less

An EMP Not To Fear, But To Enjoy!
October 06, 2020
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
Preppers talk often about us suffering a potential EMP, but they just might find this EMP a most pleasurable experience. And the blend was aptly named, nearly a century ago. For Early Morning Pipe is a choice way to kick off one’s day of “pipe tobacc... Read More
o appreciation”.
There are more than a few times throughout the bowl where the sweetness of the Virginias and Orientals rise to prominence to meet the smokiness of the Latakia, which in this medium-bodied blend are quite mild. The nic-punch is quite mild, to boot.
The tin note is as much barbecued meat as that innocuous English tobacco campfire aroma. Kudos to Peterson/STG for preserving both Dunhill’s tin art and it’s very old recipe. 4.5 stars. Read Less

I am currently smoking a bowl of EMP from 1976. I have been enjoying EMP since it came back in 09/10 first thing in the morning pre Breakfast. This tin from 76, I just opened as well, right before smoking it and the smell was amazing the smoke is ama... Read More
zing. Difference? just age, the main EMP flavors are all there I think that is what is most impressive is that the flavor did not fade or mellow out too much. I always read how Murrays was different and even in an article in Pipes Mag(Edward g Robinson on the cover) stated that Dunhill was different before Murrays started. I feel and found for myself is that like ERR & LLRR, these blends are the same they don't taste like an entirely different smoke. Yes the age is wonderful but if I smoked this along with the new Peterson, and Dunhill 2009, I honestly could say there was a small difference and that only being age. I even broke in my new Briar with this. I will next smoke it in my briar which has been dedicated to EMP from break in. If there is all of a sudden a huge difference I will be sure and post my experience. Read Less

This is the most controversial blends I have ever tried, at least for me. Sometimes I hate it and think I am smoking fodder.. Other times it seems quite balanced and mellow english blend..I keep coming back to it but I wouldn't ask for it
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
After smoking more of it I’m changing my review, it’sa great morning smoke with a beautiful aroma and taste
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
Great morning smoke. The citrus notes other mention are present, very easy amount of Latakia to consume.
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
Didn't enjoy this, it smelled like plain old cigarettes, ashy odor. Wanted to like this, but no.
Peterson ruined

Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
Wet poorly cut mess shame is an understatement. I have 2 tins that are older from a few months ago and two new ones from a few weeks ago and the new ones are horrible
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
This English will give you a hefty blast of latakia right out of the tin, but when aged that strong rustic flavor turns into a sweetened caramel nutty taste with rustic woodsie finish
First English blend
April 24, 2020
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
This was the first English blend I tried and excellent as such. It's relatively light and not as dark as heavier Latakia blends. Perfect for starting to learn what English blends are like.

The stoving deepens the sweetness of the Virginas and Orientals, delivering more of an earthy and dark fruity notes. I find a hint of light brown sugar as well, possibly from the stoving. The latakia is light but always present and very supportive. T... Read More
he orientals are spicy, earthy, and makes this blend feel more as lighter London Mixture (which I long to return). A favorite light English blend and stands up to its reputation. You've probably tried it but if not, every pipe smoker needs to. Read Less

Mostly still the same
December 23, 2019
Product: Peterson Early Morning Pipe 50g
Pretty much the same thing as Dunhill's "version" but lacking a little of Dunhill's depth of flavor, ONLY because the Peterson tins are lacking age. With some age (a few months or more), Peterson EMP will taste exactly like Dunhill EMP. As ... Read More
it is now, Peterson's EMP is still a beautiful tobacco, still smokes great, still tastes wonderful, and it remains my favorite smoke. Same flavor profile as Dunhill (even without age), just without a bit of depth, which some age will bring to it. I'm thrilled to see this come back. Even if it doesn't (yet) match Dunhill's EMP richness. If you were a fan of the Dunhill version, as I was, this one won't disappoint you. Read Less
