Sitting here and the rare and elusive thought occured in my brainpan: what is everyone's favorite morning tobacco?
Breakfast Blends

MacB's Vanilla Cream Flake with a cup of harsh coffee that could also be used as paint thinner. This is really the only time of day that I enjoy an aromatic.
On weekends, I may decide to go with something more English with my coffee.... and no NEVER TEA. Latakia is as English as I get.

Most mornings it's C&D's Pegasus, but lately I've been enjoying Sutliff's Field & Stream Match Blend with my morning coffee.
Generally I go for the appropriately named Early Morning Pipe or some Presbyterian with a coffee. If I'm in the mood for an aro then usually some Old Toby or a vanilla blend (Mac B's, Sutliff, etc).
Been preferring Virginias (Sutliff Sweet Virginia, Dunhill Ready Rubbed) on the morning commute...smoked a bowl of Dunbar today though as I probably won't get to smoke much this weekend due to travel plans.
HU English Morning and Balkan Sorbranie are two favorites in the morning with coffee.
I smoke the same tobacco for weeks at a time so whichever one I happen to be on at that moment.
SWR taste good with my store brand coffee.. but then again, any pipe tobacco is good with coffee to me.
Edgeworth Match or MacBaren Burley London Blend with coffee.
I don't really have a regular blend for breakfast but usually something neutral in flavour like a straight burley or a whole leaf homemade va/ bur blend that's been toasted or steamed. I like something subtle since my tongue can pick out flavours better in the morning. But honestly I've experimented with everything for first pipe and it's all good.
I've Been out of town lately and only have Black XX , Irish twist and the medium sweet English artisans blend so it's been any of those which was also fine by me. Not too picky. Sometimes a blast in the face first thing in the morning is what the doctor ordered.

Amphora Virginia is nice. I recently opened my first ever tin of Robert McConnell's Red Virginia and it's a wonderful morning smoke as well.
Any straight virginia will do, really. Sometimes a va/per will sneak in.

Bayou morning and black coffee is one of my favorite combos!
I smoke comoy's cask #4 almost all the time anymore.
I wake up in nicotine withdrawal so I tend to reach for a strong blend. GHC Dark Flake, 1792, HH Bold Kentucky, JackKnife Plug, etc. 
If I were just choosing on flavor I would probably go for a nice burley like Solani or MB, or maybe a VA with some Orientals like Embarcadero.

Usually start the day with an english; lately it has been PS Proper English.
These days, I like burley, usually in a MM, to start my day. HH Burley Flake, MacBaren Golden Extra, Lane RR, and Amphora Burley or Regular are the basics in that rotation, although right now, IRC Ko-Ko and Watch City Crumb Cut Deluxe are taking the place of the Amphora and the Lane RR.
Tobacco isn't appetizing to me until I've had some coffee and solid food on my stomach, and then done a few tasks and activities. It is usually just before lunch or later before I want a pipe. For some reason, it just feels like a gesture or habit before midday to me. But I'm a somewhat quirky guy.
I concur. Pipes and cigars don't sit well with me before late morning. Then again, food isn't appetizing to me before 11AM either. I only consume black coffee and water in the AM. I do, however, enjoy Early Morning Pipe in the last morning.
I usually have about five blends in my current rotation. From time to time one of them drops out of the rotation and gets replaced by something else. That being said, any of the blends in my current rotation can be selected to smoke any time of day.
But MB Mixture: Scottish Blend is always in my rotation and is very good in the morning.

Very often my only breakfast is coffee. Burley goes very well with coffee. Lately my preferred blend with coffee is Motzek Ralf's Burley Cup. I like to smoke it while walking the dogs places where they can be off the leash/lead while I drink out of a coffee flask and smoke my pipe.
