Smoking Early Morning Pipe - Anyone Else?

[telescopes]

With apologies to Peter, Paul, and Mary

Smoking Early Morning Pipe, with a lighter in my hand.
With an aching in my heart, and my pockets full of lights.
I'm a long way from home, Lord, I miss my loved ones so,
Smoking Early Morning Pipe, with no place to go.

Out behind my home, my pipe is set to go.
And, I'm stuck here in the grass where the pavement never grows.
Now, the tobacco tasted good and the pipe loads all went out too fast.
Well, there it goes, my friend, it'll be going out too fast.

Hear the mighty lighter roar, see the silver smoke on high,
It's away and westward bound, far above the clouds it'll fly.

Smoking Early Morning Pipe, it don't fail and the sun always shines.
I'll be smoking by my home for about three hours time, smoking Early Morning Pipe.

You can't smoke your pipe like you can a freight train.
So, I'd best be on my way, smoking Early Morning Pipe.

Almost everyday brother.

Well, I will now!

Well done!

 

[kcghost]

Nice tune, but I never smoke in the AM.

I love the narrative. I always remember my father when I was little, I watched him, watching him smoke his cigar or pipe in the early morning, he loved the smell of tobacco so early, the same thing happens to me. My favorite smokes are in the early morning and late at night, especially on weekends. But smoking first thing in the morning is a beautiful ritual. With my truck job, I usually smoke cigars only when Friday arrives, sometimes I prepare a pipe when I lock up the truck in the industrial building (nave) or garage. Then I smoke the pipe in peace and quiet with my colleagues. They are not used to see a guy with a pipe in his mouth, only in the movies. Thank you dear friend Douglas, for sharing this beautiful reflection.

Favorite line , pure class there,
Love the EMP, Consummate Gentleman and Skiff Mixture scratch the itch also, but I gotta have my EMP

 

[BarrelProof]

Love EMP. Love BMP more!

 

[wolflarsen]

I'm all about the 965.

 

[Streeper541]

I enjoy a good bowl of EMP very much.

Not since Peterson brought it back. Rarely smoke same blend after a tin is done. But do have few tins in the tobacco box for later on.

 

[Servant King]

Yes I concur, it's damn good stuff.

 

[metalheadycigarguy]

EMP is one of my favorites. Still have 7 un-opened Dunhill tins from 2017 and older. Haven't tried the "new" Peterson version. Supposedly it's the same blend, but my friend says the Peterson versions he's tried, of various Dunhill blends, tasted different to him. I guess I'll found out down the road once I've finished off my Dunhill tins.

Not to pick nits, but it was written by Gordon Lightfoot.

EMP and Presbyterian Mixture. I could be happy if those were my only blends I had regularly.

EMP is one of those blends that announces itself by name and memory with the first strike of the match.

 

[Oddball]

I've never had EMP but I find that a pipe with coffee before they day is as good, if not a little better than the pipe at the end of the day, in an everyday sort of application.
