Favorite First of the Day Smoke

[JKoD]

So far, the two I like in my pipe most in the morning are LBF and Crystal Palace. Others that I enjoy in morning, but have been skipping out on lately are Bayou Morning, Viprati and Potlatch. Several anytime blends can fit in there - and I I did enjoy Cringle Flake as a first bowl also because of the sugary goodness I found in it - but, won’t be in regular rotation obviously. I agree that the first bowl of the day is generally the best, but that’s not always true on a number of factors. Mood, temperature, what have I eaten all day, what drinking…etc. I do continue trying others, but the two mentioned first will continue to be staple first blends in my diet.

I like a navy flake or twisted flake. I’m good with mostly Virginia’s in the morning with my coffee.

First and last smoke of the day is Butternut burley...delightful in every way.

Whatever is left in the ashtray from yesterday or which ever pipe I put down half smoked before hitting the sack the previous night. Actually tomorrow is going to be hell since for the first in ever I didn't smoke today due to people visiting over Boxing Day.

Camel Wides - I haven’t know very many people who actually liked those. I used to live them when I did cigarettes. Camel does make the best tasting cigs, although American Spirit Black was decent with the perique in it… ?

 

[Chasing Embers]

I used to love them when I did cigarettes.

Look up Sutliff TS24.?

 

[Winterreise]

I always grab a clay pipe and some Kendal Dark , i love the kick with coffee in the morning .

 

[kcghost]

I don't start smoking until 3pm in the afternoon. Late in the afternoon or early evening I will begin with Six Pence followed by Stonehenge at 9pm. Then I will switch to a cigar.

 

[RobNYC]

I have no set morning tobacco, I usually smoke whatever strikes me at the moment. That almost always turns out to be either Haunted Bookshop, Pegasus or Voodoo Queen.

 

[JohnClyde]

My absolute fave format for 'first of the day' owes itself to the unsurpassable At the Back of the Hill blog. His writings on Hong Kong milk tea led me to start brewing my own.

So now a piping hot cup of that with Bob's Chocolate Flake is an extraordinarily indulgent way to start the day. The hint of vanilla chimes with the evaporated milk.

 

[Chris81]

My favourite smokes of the day are 2: the first in the morning and then the one after lunch.
For me the first one in the morning is more about my nicotine addition, while my smoke after lunch is more about tasting and finding real pleasure in the tobacco, just after some good food so double the pleasure.
Generally I have some Virginia blend in the morning, or a slight aromatic, and then Latakia after lunch.

 

[raybrown55]

For me the first smoke in the morning is always an aromatic, Larsen Scarlet Passion or Unique, Rattray's Exotic Passion or Bagpiper's dream...

My first smoke is usually a quick 10 minute affair with some coffee to get my brain shifted out of neutral before work. It's usually a smallish pinch of Ryback, 5 Brothers, or Dark Birdseye, something easy to smoke and powerful. I need a nic and caffeine fix to clear away the fog. I'll have a more refined blend on the drive into work.

If Ive got the time to relax and have a slow morning, nothing in this world beats Chelsea Morning and a cup of coffee for me. That's a match made by the Gods.

 

[That Guy]

For me it's a tasty mild English/Balkan blend, some S.G. with some Lakeland essence, or some kind of aged Virginia flake. These seem to hit the spot.

 

[gamzultovah]

My first smoke of the day fluctuates. Sometimes I want Latakia. Those blends would be: C&D Morning Drive Time

I was given a sample of this. It was delicious.

 

[hawky454]

I mix it up quite a bit but my favorite morning smoke used to be SG Bracken Flake, that has switched over to 1792 Flake since I’m down to my last 2 tins of BF. I like to start big, get a nice kick of nicotine & caffeine.

 

[Dudditz]

Any Virginia first thing with black coffee (strong) seems to be doing it for me. Royal Yacht with it's nicotine level adds a bit of oomph to get the day going.

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

by Mornings I favor having something medium strength Burley forward blends
