Very stereotypical, but Early Morning Pipe. One of the few blends that I really enjoy with a morning coffee.

I don’t smoke in the morning very much. But I like old joe krantz and some coffee.

Any powerhouse lat bomb. Not picky. As long as its strong enough to strip the paint off a bathtub. Its a fine morning blend for me.

This thread has made me think I need to explore more burley blends in the morning.

I usually smoke one bowl in the morning and one in the evening with the occasional one or two more depending on the day. On mornings where I have more time and think I may enjoy an extra bowl or two, I like to smoke a straight Virginia or a mellower va/per like dunhill navy rolls or escudo. If i smoke anything with latakia in the morning it's usually an oriental forward balkan. On heavier work days when my mornings are more truncated I often go for a stronger va/per like GLPs Six Pence or Triple Play so if I don't have time to smoke the whole bowl I can put it down and pick it up a couple times.

First smoke of the day?

Toscano Soldati/Toscano Classico ??

20-year-old Brown Clunee works, too.

I must ask, does BC age well?

Bayou Morning has long been a morning staple for me. It's packs and lights easy, burns well and has a nice nicotine punch to get my day started. Also goes quite well with black coffee.

Rarely do I puff in the morning, when I do it's after a hearty breakfast on a Saturday or sitting at a campfire in the woods and it's usually Mac Baren Vanilla Cream. The only aromatic I smoke.

PS Proper English or PS English Luxury

No morning pipe for me. First one around 1:30 p.m. after lunch. Then on one of two tins (one VA, one English/Balkan). Today Rattrays Black Mallory and OVTC Old Dominion.

An early morning pipe with coffee is a true pleasure. Spring and summer I like Charatan First Bowl an EMP copy which I prefer. In the height of winter I like a strong vaper like Gawith Nos 27 reunion blend.

 

[SlowerThanMost]

I don't usually get to smoke in the mornings as I don't like smelling like smoke at work. On the weekend days I do indulge its always a balkan blend with a cup of coffee. Oddly enough I prefer my last pipe of the day to be an aro.

I do my best smoking in the morning. Like a lot of these dudes, it's mostly Burley. Solani Aged Burley Flake, KBV Burley Morning Pipe, MacBaren HH Burley Flake, and lately MacBaren London Burley. But every once in a while, if I'm feeling a little squirrely, I'll smoke GL Pease Chelsea Morning.

I'm a degenerate nicotine addict, so I tend to require some stronger blends in the morning when I am getting caffeinated. I tend to prefer burley-based blends, though I also enjoy some richer and earthier VAs as well. I do think a light-medium Latakia blend makes for a great first smoke, but unfortunately, most are too mild in nicotine for me to enjoy them that way, so I will often have them as a follow-up to a stronger first bowl. Some of my favorite first of the day smokes:

The Gawith dark flakes (Dark Flake/Plug, 1792, Lakeland Dark)
C&D Burley Flakes 1 and 3
C&D Oak Alley
MacBaren HH Bold Kentucky
GL Pease JackKnife Plug and Triple Play
Peterson's Irish Flake

I tend to always have a few of these on hand and will usually rotate those few until I place my next order which will include a few more from that list, etc.

Mac Baren HH Rustica and a cup of black coffee

Orlik golden slice with a cup of how bout 5.30 while putting boots on watching the day come alive.

 

[Paul lec]

I usually smoke Five Brothers with coffee but I have recently been going with Two Timer,both good strong burley,which I like.

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

Something standard medium strong Burley forward blends are my favorite choice for the first smoke of the day

 

[Annaresti Red]

KBV's Burley Morning Pipe is what you need.

Thank you very much for a letting me know about this amazing blend. I got to try a few on the list and this one is just perfect with coffee right as the Sun is rising. Or, at noon if I'm so lucky to wake up then...

 

[Annaresti Red]

Going for 5 brothers next.
