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.

Model: Early Morning

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.

    Good tobacco

    Good and mellow English blend. Nictone level is medium. Needs to dry a little bit. A few relight down to the road if your pipe's bowl is deep.

    This was my first time trying this blend and I must say that I am delighted! Very clean and smooth early morning smoke that pairs well with good strong coffee. It leaves a good clean taste in your mouth and prepares the palate for all the other pleasures of the day. Wow!

    One of the first English blends I tried. I smoke it at least once a day now. Great flavor. I like all the Dunhill brands I've tried.

    New to pipe tobacco and read great reviews on this one. Decided to give it a try and really enjoyed it. Burns well, smooth smoke, no bite, and great flavor. Very light, reminds me of a breakfast blend coffee in a way. Would recommend.

    Good morning smoke

    Posted by Stu on 9th Oct 2016

    This is a mellow English. I really like it in the morning as it's not too complex and doesn't blow my palate out. I switch to other blends in the afternoon. A classic

    Smooth and relaxing

    As a new pipe smoker, I wanted to try a tobacco that wasn't too harsh or strong, and I found exactly what I was looking for with the Dunhill Early Morning Pipe tobacco. Not only is it a good tobacco to start out with, it will be a constant in my slow growing tobacco cellar.
