I'm new to pipe smoking and have been wanting to try some English blends. I figured I would start with something more on the mild end, and was wondering what you all would recommend? I've noticed that Peterson's EMP is popular as well as G.L. Pease Chelsea morning. Thanks in advance!

Petersons EMP was the third tin I finished. GLPs Quiet Nights was the first. The second "tin" (2 oz) I polished off was Perettis Tashkent. All mild, and delicious.
Quiet Nights is good mild blend as is Peterson's EMP. Haven't tried the Peretti's stuff. There are a lot of English's out there.
Early Morning pipe
Presbyterian Mixture
And Father Dempsey if you want something that is just a bit stronger.

Boswell’s Northwoods and Countryside are mild English/American blends that are almost crossovers with a bit of black cavendish that adds vanilla notes. Watch City’s Nor’easter is an English has that same light vanilla plus pine/woody notes for a pleasant array of flavors. All are tasty and have great room note as well.
EMP is a great start.
Chelsea Morning will give you a mild taste of Latakia, but isn’t an English blend. Virginia and Latakia, without orientals. Good blend, though.

I've always liked MyMixture 965 waaaaaaay more than EMP.
Cheslea morning not english? Quiet Nights a 'mild' blend?

I thought it was mild. My first tin that I emptied as a brand new pipe smoker. What an intro!
Northwoods and Nightcap are my two favorites.
Mild? Maybe more medium....

Dunhill/Peterson - Early Morning Pipe
Samuel Gawith - Skiff Mixture
GL Pease - Chelsea Morning
GL Pease - Quiet Nights
Peter Stokkebye - Balkan Supreme
These would all be great choices to start with.

John Bull (Original). Burely/virginia base making it mild on the palate and also mild in the nicotine department. Just enough latakia but no orientals/turkish. Seasoned with English style black cavendish.
I'll toss in recommendations for Peterson Early Morning Pipe and Arango Balkan Supreme as well! Early Morning Pipe is more or less the quintessential mellow English, and Balkan Supreme is fairly similar but with less sourness from the Orientals and a little bit more body. It's still a really easygoing blend though, and more importantly quite tasty!
Had a bowl of Sutliff Count Pulaski last evening and was reminded how lovely it is – very soft latakia, virginia, burley, with a jar note of very light anise but I didn't detect that in the smoke itself, where I found a subtle note of vanilla and light fruit. Dang near perfect burn. And cheap as chips – a pound is ~$36.
