Mourning Early Morning Pipe

mseddon

So, yikes, I can't find bulk Early Morning Pipe anymore. The promised end appears nigh.  I'm going to have to buy some tins. But, with the end coming I need help. I really like Early Morning Pipe. Are there any similar tobaccos out there I could try?

@mseddon et. al. --- P&C has a EMP match blend: https://www.pipesandcigars.com/p/match-early-morning-pipe-tobacco/1473112/#p-119634

(There's also a Nightcap match.)

One review: <<This is a great mild manner smoke. I find that it is a very close match to Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe with one exception. This product is cut differently. Dunhill's EMP is cut into very short pieces, while Match is more of a ribbon cut. For my it is a great "go to" smoke. My wife likes the natural smell and for me, it leaves no yucky taste in my mouth. While I'm sure I'll keep a tin or two of Dunhill around, I"ll have several bags of this in the cellar.>>

But, of course, it's out of stock. There is, however, a NOTIFY button..... Good luck

4noggins claims to have EMP in bulk: http://www.4noggins.com/dunhill-bulk-early-morning-pipe.aspx

Suggestion:  put Dunhill Early Morning Pipe bulk into Google

@motie2 - thanks for the information.

I refuse to do business with 4noggins for political reasons.

mseddon

@motie2 and @PappyJoe, wow thanks for those suggestions. I wasn't aware of those vendors.  But, my question still remains, once EMP is long gone, what can I use as a substitute?

motie2

@mseddon -- I dunno how the Deeming Regs will affect someone's matching blends, but if P&C gets it back in in stock, go for it.... unless, of course, you can find the EMP in bulk and stock up now.

motie2

@PappyJoe -- Tell me more about these 4noggins folk. I know nothing of them.

mseddon

@motie2 - Yeah, I was going to try the P&C match if it comes back in stock. I'm sort of amazed that they get away with naming something Match-Early Morning Pipe, etc. and explicitly market it as a duplicate without ticking off their branded suppliers.

4noggins carries a wider variety of tobaccos than most other companies and they have a number of old out of production tins as well on consignment. Plus the usual pipes, accessories, etc..

motie2

@Woodsman -- There appear to be grievances by some of our members about 4noggins politics. 

PappyJoe

@woodsman - 4noggins carries a wider variety than pipesandcigars or smokingpipes?

I'm not at my computer where I have my spreadsheets but I have done an exhaustive analysis of some of these retailers including 4 Noggins, while they do have an extensive inventory, they do not match either smokingpipes or P & C. There were some blends that they have in stock much more frequently than other places, and again I can't think of them off the top of my head, but there are a few. People usually have their go to place for what ever reason. Even if you don't shop there, the fact that others do keeps the pressure of competition on the market and keep prices in check. I want all retailers to do well as long as they treat their customers right. 

The beauty of capitalism is the fact that things like race, creed, etc. . . don't matter. I couldn't tell you the sex, religion  or anything else about the person that filled and shipped my last order from where ever I got it and I don't care. They don't know any of those things about me either, we both just wanted to do business together and we did. Sometimes people bring these things into the mix (especially politics) then people start to think about it. When it comes to things like this my rule of thumb is if they don't bring it up I don't either, but if you want to make a deal about it then be prepared to lose business. 

For the life of me I can't figure out why businesses would choose to alienate half their market, it doesn't make sense. I'll leave it at that.

If I had to guess, being from VT I'd say the above mentioned guys were Groucho Marxists, but that is just speculation. 

motie2

@Philip -- Tee-hee: "Groucho Marxists." I like that. Yours? Source?

motie2

OK, it isn't yours. It's a widespread verbal whatchamacallit.

Woodsman

Whenever I've looked for a tobacco that was out of stock or not found at P&C or Smoking Pipes, I found it at 4noggins. Their prices are usually higher than the afore mentioned two so I only go to them if I can't find it at the other two.

Since I usually don't get to sleep until 2:00 am or later I'm not much of an early morning smoker. I usually crawl out of bed around 9:00 a.m. and don't get motivated enough to dress and get ready for the day until about !0.00. So my first bowl is usually sometime in the afternoon.
