Sometimes MaxwellHouse, sometimes Folgers. Mrs Cosmic sometimes brings home some of the more expensive stuff, but really…. meh.
It’s funny, when coffee freaks come over, I’ve heard them rave over my coffee wanting to know where the bean came from…. Raving about this or that flavor note, “must be Ethiopian” “not arabaca” “something exquisite”. “It’s so deliscious” “do you roast then yourself?”

Then they feel all stupid when I tell them.

I’ll spend my money on more important things like tobacco and wines.

I used to think I had a favorite blend or blends with coffee in the morning but if I'm completely honest, I don't. All my favorite blends are great with my morning black coffee. If I had to be more specific though, I do prefer something with a little backbone. Not too strong but nicotine in the morning is good.

Haunted Bookshop for sure. It’s been this way for over a year and I don’t expect it to change. I love this blend for the nutty sweetness, occasional sour finish, etc. it’s easy to pack, light, & keep ?. It simply does it and that’s what we’re all looking for right?!☕
Even though I've never considered Haunted Bookshop a favorite of mine, the big bowl I had this morning with my coffee did hit the spot nicely.

Okay, okay, a specific blend particularly good with morning black coffee would be Royal Yacht. I don't care what anyone says...

It’s funny. I’ve never had Royal Yacht. I have some cellared. Gonna eventually have to see what’s up. ?☕

I seem to like a vaper with a higher perique content. My taste buds need help waking up, I guess. Lighter flavors are lost on me in the morning.
Although I tend to avoid more full bodied tobacco before midday, I’ve been told a really bold cigar is actually fantastic as your first smoke, as it literally kicks your taste buds into action!!!!!
I do enjoy Rattrays Marlin Flake in the morning (I really need to invest in more tins).

interesting - i never tried a gar in the morning - well maybe at 11am or so when I am doing some mid-day fishing. I have only had a bowl on a couple occasions so far with my morning coffee and it was nice. One was Syokkebye Nougat and the other just straight Lane BCA
