It might vary from person to person. I’m not sure. I drink a lot of coffee, and often do it with a pipe in hand as well. I don’t know that I’ve noticed any synergistic effects, if that’s what you mean. But my tolerance for both is fairly high, so maybe I’m a poor judge? Not sure.

I primarily drink caffeinated beverages, and only drink when I smoke because of smoking drying out my mouth, hence, coffee and cigarettes. Never noticed any effect, and the only time I noticed nicotine from a pipe was after smoking four flakes of Rustica.

I've heard of people who sleep easily after coffee, even lots of coffee, though it makes most people hyper, which in the morning is good, and may help during the mid-afternoon slump, but makes others too nervous. Nicotine seems to have both effects. Many use tobacco to get keyed up to think about problems or projects, as Sherlock Holmes was depicted as doing. Others find strong nicotine at night helps put them to sleep, hence the names of blends like Nightcap and Bayou Night. If you have a heavy nicotine buzz, sometimes the only remedy is to get to bed, at night or for a nap. Nicotine seems to have both effects, but of course it is different in different people.

For me the day doesn't start until I have had a 30oz cup of coffee in my trusty Yeti. I always time it so my pipe is ready to go with my coffee. I refuse to start the day without either,Once my first cup is gone,i grab another and usually a second pipe is also waiting. when I get up I load 3 pipes to start the day. Usually when I am done with my 3rd pipe it is time for another type of drink. My caretaker has me drinking some vitamin waters and they aren't too bad.

If I could, I would drink my coffee all day and night but sleep would be tough. I love my coffee. I began drinking at 4 years old wit my moms mother..

It's kind f funny I still put 1/2 and 1/2 in y coffee with 5 table spoons of Stevia(it is a 30 oz cup). I make Cafe Du Monde every day and I make it strong. I used to do thee whole bean, grinder,, vacuum esspresso and I love my DuMonde. with chicory .

Good memories it sounds like. I drink mine black, but I do like chicory. I usually buy Community, either breakfast blend or New Orleans blend (which has chicory) but I do get Cafe du Monde sometimes. I have a Dobermann that doubles as a 6:00 AM alarm clock, so I usually get up, let him out, and make a pot. Then I usually smoke a VaPer on the porch swing with a fresh cup, before anyone else in the house is up. I drink coffee as I work in my workshop, usually until about 3:00 or 4:00.

My favorite drink is ☕️. I probably drink equal amounts of water and ☕️ per day. For me, tobacco and ☕️ Go hand in hand and do enhance my experience. Being stimulants, the combination provides both a pick me up when I wake. They also relax me when I need to chill out. Am I addicted...SURE! But, there are worse things. Hookers, coke & fast cars are definitely more expensive & detrimental.?

I have to have my half and half without it the spoon would stand straight up. I use a 12 cup carafe and use 6 large tablespoons of coffee. I am so used to the strength that only espresso can compare. I do love espresso straight up and could pound 3 or 5 in a row but would get too wired.
