Blend Club 2023 | January - Peterson's - Early Morning Pipe

[@marshallbuch2593]

We are lucky to have you as an educator in the pipe smoking world. I’m pretty new to pipe smoking and appreciate your complete approach to the new pipe smokers. Thank you, Sir!

[@hobbitonpiper]

EMP has that early morning campfire tin note to me, with oriental incense nuances throughout the smoke…no tea or citrus notes for me usually but there is an underlying sweetness, and that woodsy campfire experience quickly takes a backseat to the orientals. It really wakes up my senses in the morning! It’s a great blend🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@Put-that-down]

The oriental incense really stood out for me. I’m definitely enjoying this.

[@hobbitonpiper]

@@Put-that-down yes, it’s really interesting isn’t it! :)

[@Rc.pipesmoker]

I’m fairly new to pipe smoking but this blend is quickly becoming my favourite. I live in Stratford upon Avon England and walking with a bowl of emp through the very historic streets is very humbling. I often sit on the bench opposite the birthplace of William Shakespeare enjoying my pipe.

[@fivetimesyo]

I'm certain we would be very good friends, you and I. Greetings from Rome, fellow life enjoyer.

Thanks! Muttenchop, keep up the great content. You have helped so, so many come to enjoy and love the hobby.

For 10 bucks they more than paid for that spelling error. The thought counts and I'm sure he appreciates the support

[@redbear801]

As a young boy, I was fascinated by the pipes, their forms and the smell, which was aromatic in the air. My uncle was a passionate pipe smoker and he was a real BBQ master and to clean the pipes together with him was the greatest thing for me. He had a strong effect on me and I looked up to him. Somehow something mystical. I always thought that someday I would also indulge in pipe smoking. I both my first pipe on my trip through america and funny enough, it was a cheap Omega Dr. Grabow. I really had to laugh when I heard your story about your grandfather. But I had somehow never found time to deal with it more intensively. Unfortunately, my uncle died this year and it became clear to me how transient everything is. The thought triggered something in me. Peace and contemplation or reflection. Thanks to your videos I was able to combine these concepts with smoking a pipe and it was like an enlightenment for me. Now I have for maybe 1 month, started smoking pipe regulary and I do not want to miss it. About the rating: I ordered the tobacco and first I was surprised, because I would have hardly expected the smell he unfolded. I especially like fruity blends. For me it has something homey, especially in cold wet weather it feels like I am with my friends, family or the scouts at the warming campfire. I love cooking and preparing meat on the grill. While you are standing there by the hot fire, your clothes get soaked with the intense smell of smoke. The next morning when you smell your clothes, that's exactly how this tobacco tastes and smells. Which is why I can follow your description 100%. From me it gives 🔥🔥🔥🔥 A fantastic tobacco for sentimental and memorable moments. Thank you for your valuable content, I can not get enough of it. Keep going. Thank you #muttnchoppiper Greetings from Switzerland

[@chuckmoss7414]

I very much approve of the slow, detailed approach you have to these blend presentations. Brings everyone up to speed, both beginner and experienced.

[@bikkies]

I have to agree. I've not lit up a pipe for a couple of years or more, and when I used to smoke pipes more often, my technique was always flawed. I never quite burned out a pipe but I must have been close. I'd blast through the bowl like a steam train flying down a mountain. One day I may get back into this and light up again; if and when that day comes, having a recap or reminder of the basic process would definitely help. EMP is one of the unopened tins I have in a dark cupboard, slowly cellaring away, so it may have some nice age on it by the time I open it up. It was not one of my favourites as it seemed a bit bland - I prefer stronger English blends - but I do remember this one being quite Oriental forward, which I appreciate. If I were to light up a well aged tin of EMP now and to pay more attention to my cadence, I could quite possibly see myself enjoying this one rather more than I used to.

[@Repzilla]

New sub here, really enjoy the content and have learnt quite a bit. Looking forward to more content.

[@ginge5168]

I love this guy, I am a cigar smoker but just dipping my toe into pipe smoking and this guy has been more than helpful 👍🏻 big love from the Uk 🇬🇧

[@darrylthehorntoadpiper]

This Early Morning blend reminds me of pipe tobacco I bought from a pipe shop in San Bernardino Ca in the early70’s. Really like this it reminds me of my collage days when I first started smoking a pipe. 🤠🤠🤠🤠

[@grandpaallie1553]

I’m not a pipe smoker [in fact, I’ve never smoked anything, in any of its various forms 🤷🏻‍♂️] that said, I find your videos a relaxing, soothing and introspective experience. Thank you for that! I could listen to this man for hours; whether he’s pontificating on a topic of which I have absolutely ZERO knowledge or experience, or a cover-to-cover narration of the 1982 Sears Christmas Catalog is, to me, immaterial. I am here for it! Hope you’re doing well, and looking forward to your content in 2023.

[@michaelmandelas514]

👍👍👍👍👍for a classic bled introduced back in 1912 and remained as a top selection for thousands of smokers. Thank you Chris for all your enormous contribution to the pipe smokers all these years!

[@charleswiggins8089]

😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️. The tin note is light with a little smoke and spice aroma. The moisture level in my tin was perfect. It takes a light very easy and stays lit as long as you pay attention. The flavor is very mild with campfire and the oriental adds a wonderful little spice. When exhaling through my nose I get a citrus, almost orange zest flavor. The room note is light and my wife doesn’t complain about how I smell after smoking it. Great tobacco to try if you haven’t already.

[@Barndog588]

I first started watching you in 2017 I believe just as the new year started, I went down to the local smoke store in my small Canadian town, and bought my first pipe, and a bag of captain blacks white blend. I was instantly hooked on the peacefulness created by the ritualistic packing of my pipe sitting in my chair. Since then I’ve come along. purchasing a couple beautiful peterson pipes, better quality pipe tobacco, and my understanding of flavour profiles. My ritual remains the same, the calming of the mind, the clarity of thinking and the experience I get from my pipes is a luxury for me. These days I rarely get in time for the ritual in my hectic life but lately as the spring thaw comes I find myself coming back to this beautiful state of mind.

[@TheDesertGnome]

Loved how you went over the history of the tobacco! I like knowing the background of things, and it unironically makes the smoke more enjoyable for me 😁

[@monsaface]

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tin Note: Hickory smoke / BBQ sauce Room Note: Tolerable / Pleasant This tobacco was ready to smoke directly from the tin. It Charred-Lit-Embered-Burned-Tamped perfectly and was enjoyable for the duration of the bowl. A Mild to Medium strength that gave notes of campfire, caramel, spicy/floral. Like so many others here I am returning to pipe smoking after a few failed attempts over the years. MCP has put together a great channel here that has helped me to learn to smoke a pipe properly thereby releasing and enjoying the true flavors of tobaccos. This is my first real English blend. I enjoy it very much but hesitate to rate it higher due to my novice palette. Thank you to MCP for putting Blend Club 2023 together. It has introduced me to a variety of tobacco styles and flavors that would have taken me quite some time to discover on my own. The blends are different enough that I can really start to decide what I like and what I don't.

[@life_of_riley88]

Don't be afraid to rate it higher, your palate is correct, it's a lovely blend.

[@everydayjeeper6583]

One of my favorites, when I can get it. 😍😍😍😍👍A back up to it is Sutliff Match Sunrise.

[@cjcooper4370]

😊😊😊 this is the second, we’ll call it “serious” blend I’ve tried. It reminds me of tea for some reason. I’m not experienced enough to articulate everything I noticed, but it was “tea” forward for me, with a little smokyness followed up by a peanut buttery taste and finished with a spicyness on my tongue 🤷‍♂️ doubt that helped anyone, but this is just the beginning of my pipe journey.

[@WD-41469]

Just opened a tin, haven’t lit it up yet, but you’ve described the tin note perfectly. I wouldn’t have been able to articulate the peanut butter, but it’s definitely there.

[@frogmorepipester7490]

Heck yeah.

[@xcratchy]

🐓🐓🐓🐓 I love the sweet/sour flavor of the orientals and the subdued presence of the latakia. the virginias add a different sort of sweetness that makes this a very pleasant light english smoke. my advise is to go and get you some!!

[@jasonkelsey3441]

One of my favourite blends. I start most days with a bowl of EMP. EMP, My mixture 965 and Night Cap are the Peterson holy trinity of pipe tobacco -IMO ;)

Hey Chop. I started watching your content 6 years ago when I was 16. I had a fascination with pipe smoking, but being underage I couldn’t make that decision. I am now in my 20s and I have rediscovered your content. I may be a pipe smoker yet.

[@Machine_0f_Light]

🏅🏅🏅🏅I also love english blends that are lighter and sweeter, and this blend nails that category nicely. Great with on the porch with coffee on a cool, rainy morning such as this one.

[@Gallasl666]

I picked up my first pipe last December coming from cigar. I got a tin of this along with a few other recommended blends. This being the first non-aromatic for me. The tin note was a big change up from Autum Evening that I enjoyed first. I really wasn't too big on it the first go, but Im still getting my pipe legs. 2nd and third try have gotten better. For now, I give it a 3 *** (I can't get my emojis to work) I think I will appreciate it more with experience.

[@gee8648]

Welcome to piping! From my experience, you need to work with a blend a few times (for me it's 5-6) before I really get the hang for a blend, smoking speed, and tasting notes.

[@Gallasl666]

@@gee8648 Thanks! So much to learn and experience. I've definitely jumped in with both feet. I've been very quicky picking up a load of different blends to try. This community is a great group.

[@mad0uche]

@@Gallasl666 Pipes are a little bit difficult for me, I found that I am pretty good at keeping a cigar at 65 RH, smoking it while keeping it lit and not burning it too hot. I find that with my low pipe experience, my pot is usually burning too hot or goes out, which is definitely not optimal and I blame my experience with blends on user error and not the blends. Like Greg mentioned, getting better and smoking a blend a few times I tried to learn from my mistakes and I was able to get some more flavors out of them.

[@Gallasl666]

@@mad0uche It takes practice. I think I've gathered all the info I can to get me rolling on the right track. Now its just deliberate time with the pipe and enjoy it. Thats what brought me here. Muttonchop is a great teacher.

[@paulcarlsen4088]

👍👍👍👍 thank you for sharing how to open the tin. This was the first tobacco that I smoked. I just took up pipe smoking. When I received the tin, I could not figure out how to open it. I had to do some online research😂. My first exposure to pipe smoking was when I worked at a grocery store. A manager there smoked some cheap nasty tobacco. This tobacco was nice and mellow-not like that nasty stuff. I’m looking forward to the next review!

[@doncarlton4858]

👍👍👍 New blend to me. My tin is new, so a bit wet. I need to spread out a pipe full on a piece of paper to dry 10-15 minutes. Smoked in a Turkish meerschaum pipe. A bit harsh, but I may have been trying to keep it lit. Hint of creaminess. Nicotine was a bit high but I may have been puffing harder to keep it lit. The jury's still out on whether it stays in my rotation.

My first time participating in Blend Club. Fairly new pipe smoker. I smoked 3 bowls so Far, 1st bowls I was not really getting anything from it. 2nd bowl was better, but the 3rd bowl was so enjoyable. Not sure it makes sense but it was buttery smooth. Not sure what I was expecting but I plan on keeping this on hand. It’s got me thinking about cellaring. As far as a rating I give it 😊😊😊 only because my lack of experience to compare it to. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@Skunk1098]

This has got to be the best blend club yet. I've been watching you for years, and blend club, while informative, started to feel robotic, scripted and repetitive.

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 Thanks for doing a very interesting blend club for 2023. I hadn’t smoked this in a year as I have been trying out lots of lesser known blends, but smoking this with you now I’m kicking myself for not doing so. My tin has 3 years of age and together with the fragrant orientals which are upfront, it has developed a nice sweetness which wasn’t there when it was new. My favourite light English.

🙂🙂🙂🙂 Newbie here I just finished my emp so didn't get to smoke along (more on the way). I have a limited sense of smell so I miss out on all those wonderfully subtle notes but to me the taste of this is amazing as has been mentioned it is the perfect accompaniment to a fresh coffee and sitting watching the world go by in the early morn.

[@erichunt3544]

Hello Muttnchop and fellow pipers. This is my first post..been subscribed for awhile and enjoy all the content. First order of business..blend club. Just so happens I have all the blends for '23, except for the special one you mentioned that becomes available in Aug. As for the Jan blend, EMP, I really enjoyed it. Mellow, creamy, good flavor. Beyond that I couldn't tell Latakia from Latvia..still figuring out all the different taste profiles of the various tobaccos. EMP struck me as a very easy smoke..might be a good introductory blend. Speaking of first smokes, Chris you got me started on Maltese Falcon..that stuff was amazing! Often I read reviews on the different notes of tobacco (especially cigars). And for cigars in particular, my assessment is..tastes like a barn, or straw..etc ( not the most refined palette). But the Maltese was everything you described. Second order of business..a question for anyone..do you ever mix blends? Had basically crumbs left from Pres. Reformation..which were dry as a bone. So I packed pipe 2/3's full with SPC Plum Pudding (Bourbon - very moist), and topped it off with the Reformation to finish off the tin. It is outstanding so far (smoking it as I type). Is this normal..any of you guys do similar? Cheers to all!

[@willy9119]

Finally a pleasure to rate a tobacco with you which is also available in Europe. EMP is a blend I discovered very lately. Since then it is a solid companion. I can't discover the campfire attitude, but IMHO you find this taste mostly in Peterson/Dunhill 965 which is my beloved English Mixture. I smoke Latakia blends mainly during the cold period, fall and winter. I agree with you and I give 🙂🙂🙂🙂. All the best and happy puffin'.

[@lordhogarth]

An excellent tobacco for a newer smoker curious about English blends. It’s a bit too Oriental forward and Latakia light to be one of my favorites, but I still enjoy it on occasion. Like all the Peterson/Dunhill blends, it has a noticeable nic hit. 🍸🍸🍸🍸

[@logandozier4219]

I received a tin of Peterson's Early Morning Pipe today. I held off for almost 6 hours before breaking the tin open. I smoked a bowl through a well seasoned Missouri Meerschaum bent Country Gentleman. I found it mild yet rich in tobacco flavor. Don't know the nicotine content but I was lit up a bit. I get why they call it early morning. A big mug of strong black coffee with a squirt of honey and this pipe at 4am on the porch. Out the door with another pipe and a fly rod at 5am. 🤙🤙🤙

[@sierrasam316]

🍀🍀🍀🍀 Love this blend! In 2018 stocked up thinking it might be gone. Light and sweet. Like you said, a great campfire smell with the orientals up front.

[@poppoppipe]

excellent smoke, I keep it in stock all the time,😀😀😀😀

[@creatoroftheboundlessuniverse]

💜💜💜💜 This was a excellent smoke!!! This was sweet and creamy. What I would say Oriental forward with the Latakia coming in and out as the bowl burns. Moisture was excellent but I did experiment with letting it dry out little more which seemed to enhance everything about it. When I first started to smoke pipes which has been about a year now this was one of the first tins I purchased. At that time not understanding the nature of such a blend it did seem harsh! However, at this point smoking some Balkans and stronger Latakia blends I can really appreciate this a lot better. Oddly at times towards the middle of the bowl I would get this buttery flavor! Since the list for this years Blend Club I actually have been smoking this every morning in a Estate Peterson B 42 with some coffee or tea. I will be getting several more tins for the future. Even at different times during the day or evening this has been a go to!!! Thanks Muttnchop!!!

[@michaelcase8574]

EMP is a great classic tobacco. Sometimes if you put the pipe tool in the indent and twist it the top will pop loose...if you're lucky.

[@doylecarter57]

I agree with your taste summary. The balance is superb. It's noticebly cool smoking and stays lit. I rate it at 4.25 out of 5 stars. I started piping in 2018 and you are the trusted source that I watched and listened to for how-to and tobacco recommendations. The Breath Method helped me tremendously as I prefer Virginia and VaPer flakes. I have that same Savinelli pipe but haven't broken it in yet. Thank you Sir for helping me in this hobby.

[@christhetanman2639]

Haha, when you mentioned the packaging, I fully agree. The way the paper has the uniform ripple when you first open it gives it a little bit of elegance. I just cracked an older Dunhill EMP tin a couple of weeks ago. I love the orientals in this pipe. If I haven’t smoked anything with Latakia in a while it’s about neck and neck for the smell and the taste between the the lat and the orientals. However, when I have been smoking other latakia blends and then smoke this, I can barely smell or taste the latakia and the orientals really shine. That’s a good think for me as I think the orientals in this blend are my favorite component of EMP. Thanks for sharing some of the history behind the blend. Excellent review!

[@PiperX1X]

Finally my early morning pipe tobacco arrived and I’m sat with a cup of coffee totally enjoying this tobacco, it’s not overpowering for me it’s just a pleasant enjoyable smoke. And for me I’ll give it 🙂🙂🙂 Again thank you for such a great description of the tobacco look forward to the next one.

[@TheDesertGnome]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 4 Emojis! Wasn't sure if I'd settle between 3 or 4 on this, but I think it deserves the better. This is my first oriental, so I have a hard time picking out those flavors since the campfire note is so prominent for me. The spice in this is really pleasant for an every now and then smoke. For me, it really starts to lose it's punch if you smoke it too often, the flavors become muted. But smoke it after some sweeter virginia or an aromatic and it pops right back up again!

[@mariusjansevanrensburg231]

I smoke 1-2 pipes a week, mainly cherry tobacco of some sort, I got EMP to gain experience in English blends and its in my opinion as easy introduction as you can get. Its campfire taste for me is best kept for misty, rainy mornings. 😂😂😂

[@chriscon8463]

😀😀😀😀I really like this blend! I found 3 tins of Dunhill EMP in a brick-and-mortar & I’ve been nursing them. I confess that I don’t enjoy a pipe in the morning, though; I like one later in the day, after dinner. Unless I’m out in the woods camping…then it’s any time!

[@79charbos]

I have recently returned to the pipe after an over 20 year hiatus, so it is nice doing a deeper dive this time around The bowl of EMP I had first was using a cheap Chinese-made pipe with a metal insert in the chamber. The Latakia bout smoked my socks off!! Then I tried again in my hardwood billiard. Much less smokiness. This morning I tried with my corncobb and a cup of coffee. Not only was there a light amount of smoke, I picked up on the sweet/sour flavors from the orientals. The buttery notes flowed through out the bowl. Very nice blend that will be a nice addition to the rotation. 🪵🪵🪵🪵

[@DonnyJ_CountryLife]

Thank you for the insightful reviews!

[@PiperX1X]

Great review, I’ve been considering trying this tobacco as I’ve only been on the pipe for maybe 8 months after many years of smoking roll ups and due to the cost of rolling tobacco over here in the U.K. a 50g pouch of hand rolling tobacco is over £30!!! Compared to pipe tobacco per 50g is around £18. And to me as I smoke the pipe many years ago it was a no brainer but to return to the pipe and I wish I’d done it years ago as I’m really enjoying my new journey in the pipe world and trying different blends. I do however enjoy Erinmore as my everyday day smoke as I don’t like tobacco that is overpowering that blows my socks off! But I’m definitely going to order some early morning today and give it a try. I’ve hit the subscribe button and looking forward to more of your reviews.

[@PiperX1X]

Blooming heck early morning pipe must be very popular over here in the U.K. as I’ve been online for over an hour trying to buy some and all the main tobacconists are all sold out! Apart from two tobacconists one in Scotland but they were charging £19 for a 50g tin and nearly £15 just for delivery!!! They always say that the Scot’s are tight! But eventually I found a little tobacconist in Herefordshire and got the last one, how lucky and much cheaper at £17-80p for the tobacco and £2 delivery. It’s obviously a very popular tobacco. Can’t wait to try it.

[@rejArt]

🐔🐔🐔🐔 One of my favorites and always in my regular rotation. Balance is the the key with this one. Tangy orientals, sweet, bready Virginias with just enough latakia to add a nice umami note to round it out.

[@11Bravo84]
