Dunhill Early Morning Pipe reviewed to death I know but with the majority of reports being good thought I would give it a try.
Usually I prefer Plug Tobacco and on cracking open the tin I was disappointed at the aroma, not the usual plummy richness I am used to, though the smoky scent is quite pleasant.
Tried a bowl yesterday and again was disappointed, found it quite flat and bland didn't really taste much and was extremely mellow. All that said I wasn't too downhearted as I understand sometimes the first smoke of a tobacco isn't always the best and put it down to not being my usual tobacco type.
This morning I woke up and decided to give it another try, the smell this morning seemed richer and on lighting up immediately I could now taste the smokiness which reminds me of smoked fish type smell. The flavours where abundant nothing like yesterday and actually can't put a finger on them, that mildness that I was disappointed with yesterday was welcome and the whole smoke was really enjoyable. The Nicotine content didn't seem high but certainly enough in there for me.
I can understand why it's designed as a morning smoke but I think I could get along with it at other times of the day, probably one that requires a nice sit down to appreciate the subtle flavours
I was in real danger of writing this one off but have totally turned my opinion around in a single bowl and is definitely one I will buy again, thumbs up from me.
Cheers
