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
Go ahead buy the big one, you wont regret it

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.
Doing EMP better than EMP does it!

I love a good early morning smoke! Its glorious sitting out on the veranda, at 6:30 am, listening to the multitude of birds singing. While watching smoke rings drift away on a cool morning breeze. I savor puffs of mouth watering Orientals swirling i... Read More
n buttery Latakia. It's a treat on the rare occasion the wife is away and the day is for play.
My favorite blend for this glorious morning moment is the complex yet light English. 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, I doubt I will return to it. CM is my new champion!
The flavors of CM are richer, deeper and more creamy. It's complex and intriguing. Relaxing and thought provoking. I find myself thinking of a more sophisticated Nightcap lite. There's a wonderful saviory and tangy Oriental flavor that is quickly enveloped with creamy Latakia, finishing with a earthy 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 decidedly 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!

As an EMP lover, I was sad to see it go. Saying good bye to an old friend is always tough. But hello Chelsea Morning! It's a great light english that goes well with my morning coffee. Give it a shot. I don't think you'll regret it!
The Perfect Union for Coffee

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

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
Everything I want in a morning blend
March 26, 2020
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 8oz
As one reviewer noted, though this blend is mild to medium in strength, in is full of flavor. The sweetness from the Virginas and Orientals work wonderfully together. The spicy Orientals, though still mild, are still noticeable throughout the bowl. T... Read More
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.

Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
This I rate a 5. Light enough for all day, yet complex enough to keep you intrigued. Absolutely crushes Early Morning Pipe IMO. This will forever have a spot in my cellar.
Great English Blend

I love everything about this blend - from the complex flavors to the way it's cut into broken flakes, its a pleasure. Then again, I rarely don't enjoy what comes from GL Pease!

Burns hot, peppery for a breakfast blend. Nothing like EMP. Bought two 8oz tins, both tasted the same.

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. I have read some reviewers who say the tins are inconsistent, I have not run across this problem but will report back later. Ordering EMP now to compare the two and will report back as well. In the meantime, light up my friends. Read Less

Very curious how it would age. When smoked slow fresh, you can get some subtle orange peel and fruits out of this - quite enjoyable Read Less

Slightly Sweet & Tangy, With Earthy Undertones
August 27, 2017
Product: G. L. Pease Chelsea Morning 2oz
Part of my daily rotation, I usually smoke this in the morning, but it could easily be an all day smoke. The bright and red Virginias provide just enough sweetness and citrus tang that is balanced nicely with the Oriental/Turkish, which plays a suppo... Read More
rting role with woodsy and savory undertones. The perique also plays a supporting role with hints of raisin. This hint of raisin is no doubt brought out by the sweeter notes of the Virginias and Oriental. Not sure if it is just me, but this is very similar to Seattle Pipe Club's Mississippi River blends. If you like those, you will undoubtedly like this GLP offering. It is not overly moist, but I tend to let it dry for at least a month or so after opening. Burns to a nice grey ash. Puff this one slowly and it will pay dividends with its complex balance of flavors. As one reviewer noted, I have noticed some inconsistency between tins, but that does not bother me, and it is a bit expected given the (no doubt) complex blending process. I highly recommend this blend - one of my favorites in the rotation. Read Less

ight grab it. 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. Treat it as such and reframe from comparing to other tobaccos and you might find yourself loss in the land of G.L. Pease Thank you to the blender at GL Pease Read Less

Complex Morning
November 29, 2012

One of my top favorites. I would imagine that trying to balance out four different kinds of leaf must be difficult, and it feels like Pease got this exactly right. Almost every few puffs the flavor changes back and forth, keeping it incredibly inte... Read More
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
