What's Your First Smoke Of The Day?
For those that enjoy the pipe with morning coffee, what's been your usual 1st bowl, lately, and why?
For a long time now mine's been Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. bulk Brown Flake (unscented). So rich, flavorful, and smooth, and pairs well with coffee

A pipe. Ever since giving up cigarettes a few years ago, my first smoke of the day has been a pipe.

Glad you gave up those cancer sticks/ coffin nails. Even a rolled Prince Albert tastes nasty to me.
So what is your usual 1st pipe tobacco in the morning? First Smoke Of The Day?

Re: What's Your First Smoke Of The Day?
Yeah, it was definitely the right choice. Cigarettes are poison, no question.
Wish I could tell you I had a usual first tobacco of the day. I don't. It's whatever is in my pouch or open. Usually a Virginia or va/per, but sometimes Prince Albert or a light aromatic. For a while it was Early Morning Pipe.
But no, nothing so regimented. I was a Camel smoker for almost 20 years. Nothing else tasted right. I dally much more with pipe tobacco.

On workdays, my first smoke is my end of day smoke. If circumstances do allow me to smoke in the morning, it's almost always a burley of some kind. I like the nic kick and they taste better with coffee.

Most times it's whatever I was smoking the night before. This morning it was Old Ironsides.

Whatever is currently open in the rotation and/or strikes my fancy.

On weekends, or other times I have the opportunity to smoke in the morning, it will almost always be PA.

Re: What's Your First Smoke Of The Day?
I'd have to get up at 3:30 to enjoy a pipe before work. That's not happening. When I am off and at the lake I enjoy Dunhill Early Morning Pipe with some good coffee

Re: What's Your First Smoke Of The Day?
I can relate to this (highlighted) statement. My first smoke of the day is a search for something and anything that will take me back to the harsh taste of morning sigarrette that I still vividly remember. Although I begin developing a bit more of understanding of pipe tobacco, I still have days when the craving for strong nicotine shot is there, and especially in the morning. Still not having any cigarettes in the house and enjoying different tobaccos in my pipes.hugodrax wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 12:48 pmYeah, it was definitely the right choice.

Re: What's Your First Smoke Of The Day?
I find a good smooth, full flavor tobacco like Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.'s bulk Brown Flake so very satisfying as a first pipe in the morning. Far far more satisfying than any cigarette. Their bulk Scotch Flake is also very good, too. There's no perique and no latakia in them. They don't need it.alpol05 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 7:26 amI can relate to this (highlighted) statement.
