  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

What to blend with Dunhill Early Morning Pipe?

I've got an oz of Early Morning that I just can't get into. Smokes bland, thin and sour to me. Even in the actual morning I want something with more flavor.

I do have some blending tobaccos. Been thinking of adding a little perique, or some more latakia, or even some burley? Any suggestions?

Best bet would play around with blending and see what you can come up with. Just write down how much of what you mixed so if it's something you enjoyed you'll know how much to mix for next round.

Doesn't that just turn it into, like, early dinner, or maybe just really late lunch?
Depends on how much you use. Just a little Nightcap makes it brunch, too much is early dinner.
Seriously, though, I think mixing with an Oriental-heavy blend like EMP could be tricky, but I think any heavier, darker Latakia blend would work fine.

Depends which flavours from the blend you're looking to amplify. Smokiness? Inject some lat. Nuttiness? Burley. Etc.

Smoking the fm and emp mix right now. Really good. Although I think maybe it should be 3/4 emp and 1/4 fm.. Or visa versa.. Not even a third through the bowl so I haven't decided.

First of all, I am glad you found a way to enjoy EMP by blending it.

Out of curiosity, were you drinking anything along with it (coffee, tea, etc.)? I am wondering if that may have affected your opinion of it.

Not that it matters, I was just curious

Emp is quickly becoming a staple for me. Love it any time of day. BTW the half and half with fm turned kinda nasty towards the end. Needs more tweaking but has potential.
