Whatever I’ve got ready. It’s all good with coffee.
Fribourg & Treyer's Golden Blend is nice, but more often it's whatever I didn't finish last night.
Whatever Virginia is the one I grab.
I usually start my day with Haunted Bookshop and a

Whatever is handy at the desk. Usually a bowl of Three Star Blue I guess.
Irish Flake , Aged Burley Flake , HH bold Kentucky are my top morning smoke . But i second @BROBS , anything with a cup of coffee will do .
Depends on the beverage. If I'm drinking coffee it will be a Burley blend, hh Burley flake or a C&D Burley flake. If I'm having tea I should pick a Virginia.... buuuuuut I usually dont, in which case I grab a Burley haha
This morning it was Match Victorian. But most days it’s Granger, Prince Albert, Carter Hall or Pegasus with Coffee.
With coffee (so, most of the time), C and D Pegasus, KBV Mycroft, WC Deluxe Crumb Cut, Dark Bird's Eye (50/50 DBE and Deluxe Crumb Cut is a fav).
After my coffee? A Va or VaPer, usually. Rouxgaroux, Match Victorian, Simply Red, FVF, SJF, and others.

The Amphora Burley is the most regular recently.
Something on the strong side. I used to require very strong blends, but I've become a bit more flexible. GH&C Dark Flake, 1792 Flake, HH Bold Kentucky and GL Pease JackKnife Plug have all been morning staples for me for a while. Recently, I've been enjoying Peterson's Irish Flake, Triple Play and C&D Burley Flake #3 as well.
Usually it's a high nicotine burley with coffee to get my heart started.
Early Morning Pipe. I'm a rebel.
I usually start with HH Rustica and a dark coffee
Today it’s Second Breakfast from the Country Squire with some Kicking Horse coffee. Rarely the same thing twice in a row though.
For me, Green Dragon from The Country Squire, or Mac Baren Mixture Scottish and coffee.
About to go light up a bowl of Charing Cross. Probably first and only bowl of the day.
I'm not much for smoking before noon, just by habit. I have my coffee with food and two required pills and supplements, and the pipe comes later. I put a little milk in my stovetop percolator coffee, and the milk coats my mouth and mutes the flavors of a pipe. As some may know, the percolator coffee is my thing. I make my wife a separate pot of French press, and she goes for elevated blends, whereas I drink Chock Full of Nuts or Maxwell House. Lately I have to settle for decaf, though I prefer regular, to make my disposition more upbeat in my codger-hood.
