Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
Once I’m awake enough in the morning I grab an ancient Dunhill Redbark and fill it with Chelsea Morning. I’ve done that for years. The pipe is rickety but it. seems to augment the sugary sweetness of the tobacco. Just as the tobacco tastes seem to ... Read More
mirror the flavor of my cup of coffee. This is heaven! Until recently I thought this blend was unique, but then I discovered its louder, rowdier cousin McClelland’s Grand Samsun. Yes, there’s a lot of oriental in CM witheverything else dancing in the background. A lovely experience, morning after morning. Read Less
Doing EMP better than EMP does it!
May 26, 2019
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
While searching around to replace my brand "et ventum", dunhill EMP, I found my way to G. L. Pease's Chelsea Morning. The old adage that "change is good for you", rings true once again. Chelsea Morning does EMP better than EMP! Even if EMP comes back... Read More
, I doubt I will return to it. CM is my new champion! It's complex and intriguing. Relaxing and thought provoking. There's a wonderful saviory and tangy Oriental flavor that is quickly enveloped with creamy Latakia, finishing with a earthy, nutty sweet Virginia. The one notable difference between EMP and CM, the Orientals are more pronounced. In my new tin they were savoury, and tended to dominate if I puffed too hard. Other reviews have identified Izmer Oriental. One can say that it makes things interesting... or one can say it clashes and detracts. I'm of the former. The Latakia is lovely and lightly done. It balances harmoniously with the sweet Virginia. The Perique is plummy and peppery and both show randomly to good effect. CM smokes like a dream, billows of volumous flavorful smoke. you can puff like a freight train and your only punishment will be the domination of Oriental. Utterly relaxing, full of flavor, with a pinch-O-nic to start the day. Five stars!

This blend is exceptional, rich, creamy, smooth, and cool burning. It is not a Lat monster but has just enough to satisfy, it is rich and complex but not too strong. I could smoke it all day.
The Perfect Union for Coffee
October 30, 2019
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
With the love and snobbery I can have with English/Oriental blends, I had to try this blend after all the buzz. After almost smoking through a tin with a variety of pipes, I have found the perfect suitor to go along with my morning coffee.

morning offers a lovely sweetness from the Virginias (especially the reds), the spiciness from the Orientals, and the just enough smokiness from the Latakias. I would consider it a light-medium/light English blend. Pick it up for you morning ritual. It suits the morning sunrise so well. Read Less

Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
Very easy English blend with just enough flavor to accompany that morning coffee, or to be an all day smoke. I love EMP and I find this to be a step behind it but not by much. It seems to be a bit more "comfortable". Easy pack and burns w... Read More

My New Mainstay
September 15, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
I haven’t had a GL Pease product yet that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy. Chelsea Morning is no exception. It is smokey, nuanced, and has a good balance of different tobaccos to awaken the palate and call attention to Mr Pease’s expertise. Like all GL Pea... Read More
se tobaccos, it has a flavour distinct to its maker; it’s a sort of mystique that keeps me coming back time after time and tin after tin. Chelsea morning is my new mainstay, and (like all of Mr Pease’s offerings) holds a special place in my tobacco collection. All I can say is that this is a mix I’m grateful to have found, and that I’d reccommend to new and to gristled pipe smokers alike. Brilliant stuff Read Less

Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
I have been smoking this for about 6 months now. It never disappoints. My wife knows that when I’ve had a bowl of this I’m going to be in a great mood. There are many tobaccos I’ve tired that are temperamental, some that I’m just not in the mood for.... Read More
I am always in the mood for CM. Morning, noon and night I will enjoy this delicious, creamy and lovely smoke. Notes of freshly sawn poplar boards, hay and a voluminous creaminess that refuses to bite, no matter how pressed. Delicious and unique every time. Read Less

My "go to" blend
February 26, 2022
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 8oz
Chelsea Morning is easily the blend that I reach for more than any other. My suggestion is to put some away for a few years if you are able. Aged Chelsea Morning is something to behold. The fruity sweetness really comes alive after a few years. I... Read More
mainly smoke this in a Savinelli 320 and I find it really brings out the sweetness. I must confess, I haven't tried any "fresh" Chelsea Morning in a long time to compare it to its aged self. I put enough back years ago that I am in heaven on a daily basis. I still buy some to put back so that I will be smoking aged Chelsea Morning for the remainder of my life. Read Less
Easy Like Chelsea Morning
January 03, 2022
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
I love this blend so much. To me it is better than EMP. A little more Latakia and a fuller body. It really could be an all-day smoke. I keep this on hand at all times.

Tale of two tobaccos

Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
I have grown to love this blend. I switch between this and another blend made for the morning by another master blender, Russ Ouellette, but this isn't the other tobacco I mentioned in the title, both are Chelsea Morning. See if you pack this for the... Read More
first pipe before leaving or on the way to work, you'll get a fantastic light to medium English perfect for the morning. It's when you light up a bowl on a weekend morning (or anytime of day honestly) when you take time and really taste this blend is when you will realize like I did that it is one of the most intriguing blends with a whole array of flavors that is just delicious for lack of more elegant words. The only problem I have with it is I guess because of the cut, kind of a broken flake, it can end up becoming a little powdery towards the bottom of the jar, almost like dumping out a cigarette, which in a pipe with no type of filter you can end with some flakes in your mouth but trust me DO NOT let that little nuisance keep from trying one of the best blends on the market today Read Less
How is it both dry and creamy? Madness!
February 25, 2021
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
The tin note reminds me of one of those old, farmhouse basements with the loose stone floors. Kind of musty, but still warm and homey with the smell of breakfast and coffee wafting down. Very nostalgic smells for me. From there the experience only i... Read More

My First English
September 19, 2020
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
When I first started smoking a pipe about four years ago, I smoked only aromatics and swore that I'd never smoke an English. However, once I learned to pack my pipe correctly the whole world of tobacco opened up to me. I have been venturing out ever ... Read More
since and my first taste of Latakia was with a tin of Pease's Lombard which I purchased a few weeks ago. It was so good that I decided that I'd venture out a little and try a mild English and since Chelsea Morning fit the bill I bought a tin last week but waited until Saturday morning to try it. So, this morning I loaded up my Kaywoodie Prince and fired it up. Dammit, I guess I'm an English smoker now! I have been smoking it all day and can say I will definitely keep it in stock and cellar some away as well. I guess my wishlist is expand by quite a lot. Read Less

Everything I want in a morning blend
March 26, 2020
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 8oz

he Latakia is more evident in this blend than say, EMP, where I feel they fall too far in the background. The perfect combo is this tobacco with a light-medium roast coffee in the morning. It is my top 3 tobacco for a reason and is smoked almost daily. Read Less
Go to all day English for me.
February 06, 2020

February 09, 2019
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
This is a good blend, but it isn't my favorite morning smoke. I saw 3 reviews on it, by smokers whose opinions are trustworthy. All 3 of them said things like "I like it, but I don't know if I love it....I'm not sure I'll get more of it....I don... Read More
't know if I'm jumping on board this one yet". Now having smoked 4 bowls of it, I agree with all of those statements. It's a good blend, but not mind blowing. It has a nice, balanced flavor, but it's just a little TOO light. My standard is Dunhill's EMP, (Or Daybreak which is very similar) but when I want something lighter than that, I find C&D's Good Morning is flavorful, complex, and lighter/more relaxed than EMP so it's a nice alternative. Chelsea Morning, to my taste, is a little too light. It would be a good light alternative to EMP, if I didn't have Good Morning to fill that slot already. And I believe Good Morning is a little more enjoyable than Chelsea Morning. But this blend is definitely nice. Flavor is good, and rather unique, though I wish it had just a bit more presence. The tobacco behaves well, burns well. It's a class act, worth trying. I just think that for a premium tobacco, by a top-notch blender, at a somewhat premium price, this tobacco should be a little more mind blowing than it is. Maybe with some age it will be mind blowing. I'll probably by an 8oz tin and cellar it for a while, and smoke it on occasion when I feel like something out of the ordinary. But I doubt I'll smoke this with any regularity. Like I said, it's good but it doesn't blow me away. My standard morning smokes (EMP, and Good Morning) are a little more satisfying...and a little less expensive Read Less

Easy English
November 20, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
This is a very mild English in my opinion. It smokes well and is quite mild. I believe that C&D's Yale Mixture is a fair comparison if you have tried that one. I will purchase another tin for the cellar.

Disappointed expectations
August 20, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
As an English blend smoker, I was certain that this blend was going to be right up my alley. Sadly, I found it somewhat deficient. It did not behave very well for me. I had trouble keeping it lit. I also did not find any real flavour to set it apart.... Read More
Perhaps that is intended: could it be easier on the morning palate that way? I did not find anything truly favourable in this blend. It burned hot regularly, too.
Perhaps I will revisit this blend after having tried some other "breakfast" blends. At this time, it proved a disappointing experience. Nonetheless, I count myself among a distinct minority of smokers, if the general reviews are to be believed. I would still recommend that newcomers smoke this blend: experimenting is the heart and soul of this hobby.

it will not leave you (or your car or office) smelling like roses or cologne—on account of the high VA content.

It is the first tobacco I would consider complex, because of the taste of each tobacco through out each draw. and the bottom is real when it sinks in the Chelsea Morning is in a class of it's own.

resting. I also find it a little less moist (or swampy??) than any other English I've had. It just seems less thick and oily, and more earthly and complex. I normally puff harder on English/Balkans than I do VAs, but this one I have to sip because it's so complex, and the Perique adds even more to that. This is fine, because the flavor is huge. Not too much of a certain leaf and not too little of it either. Right when I think there could be more Oriental, I begin tasting it again. I just had in on a slightly rainy, cooler summer day commuting into work. Lovely. Great stuff. One word description: Complex. This is also the best blend I've been able to pair with a cup of coffee. It's almost like it was designed with that in mind. Read Less
