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. 

Brand: Peterson

Blended By: STG

Model: Early Morning 

Tobacco Type: Latakia, Oriental, Virginia

Cut: Ribbon

Blend Type: English

Strength: 2 of 5

Taste: Medium

Room Note: Pleasant

Flavoring: None

Amount: 1.75 oz Tin

 

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.

    Smooth, Balanced Morning Smoke

    Posted by Ian Niderost on 16th Nov 2024

    This is a smooth, excellent balanced blend befitting its name. Strong enough to give you a nic hit with your coffee in the morning without being so strong that your head spins before you have breakfast in your belly. It has buttery notes and is smooth up front with a little bit of pepper at the finish on the tip of your tongue, presumably from the Latakia that gives it its nicotine content. A great smoke to start my day before I graduate to heavier blends throughout the day. Very beginner friendly if you want to venture outside of aromatics. Stays lit relatively well most of the time, but occasionally needs a couple relights. Could probably benefit from 15 minutes or so of drying out before packing and smoking.

    Excellent Tobacco

    Posted by Mark Antal on 14th Nov 2024

    This is my absolute favorite tobacco. I have tried many different blends. For a time I enjoyed aromatics (BCA, Cherry Bomb). EMP has become my all time favorite. This is the first tobacco I reach for at home or while on a trip. Easy lighting. Smooth taste.

    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

    Posted by Holbytla on 13th Aug 2024

    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!
