Morning Blends

[Peter Turbo]

Lots of great suggestions here, unironically "Morning Blend" by Erik Stokkebye is great in the morning.

Nothing wrong with PG Tips TBF. I drink Thompsons breakfast tea in the morning and Twinings Early Grey or Lapsang Souchong at other times.
i admit I don;t drink much loose tea myself because there isn't the choice available in the big stores any more.
But however you take it, a good cup of tea does go well with a morning pipe.

Good picks! Lapsang souchong is just starting to make it's way over to big chain stores here in the States and it goes amazingly well with any English pipe blend.

It's a perfect match for any blend with latakia in it. In fact, when I first put my nose into a jar of Latakia, Lapsang Souchong was the scent that came to mind. The similarity is amazing.
Both also remind me of old fashioned pine pitch-impregnated garden string that my parents used to keep in the greenhouse when I was a kid. Both latakia and lapsang S take me back 50 years whenever I smell them. Scent and memory is a powerful thing.

I usually start my smoking day with a small bowl of G&H Dark Birds Eye.

That'll get things started for sure.
