Recommendations for a Morning Smoke

[B daddy]

I'd like to smoke in the morning. I particularly like to smoke with coffee on the weekends. I'll do this more in spring when it warms up. I smoke so many medium/full cigars that I don't have much in my humi that meets my need for a morning smoke. I'm looking for recommendations for a morning cigar that pairs well with coffee. Little to no strength and easy on the spice/pepper. I tend not to buy many real pricey sticks but I will if it's worth it. I appreciate your input here.

I tried a RP Sungrown the other mid morning-early afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. Good smoke.

I really like the Oliva conny in the morning with coffee.
Really complements the coffee with cream and smooth flavor.

Everytime I'm down in Florida for business that's my preferred smoke with coffee and a walk along the beach.

MOW Virtue, Varina Farms Breakfast Blend, and CAO Cameroon are some of my favorites. All available at really decent prices.

Similar to what Eric mentioned, the Oliva G, in particular the Special G is nice in the morning with coffee. I also enjoyed the Cabaiguan Petite Corona. Both short smokes that will get you through a couple cups of joe..

There it is Mark had to go and say it Cabaiguan? That's the one I like too!

MOW Virtue, Tatuaje El Triunfador, Graycliff G2 Maduro all are great with morning java

I used to do the Oliva Connies. Guess I'm looking for something a little different (why? Who knows.). I always have a few Oliva Gs in the humi. I've never really thought of them as a morning smoke. I'll give it a whirl. Cabaiguan, of course. I'm not holding. I'll pick some up. The CAO Cameroon also sounds intriguing.

I like the Torano Dominico on my morning drive with cofee.

La Perla Habana Black Pearl Morado, 93-rated
Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R52, 92-rated

Are the two mildest sticks in my humidor and are both good morning smokes.

Ave Maria is my go to NC morning coffee smoke, and I know I'm not alone in that. Consistently pleasant, not too strong, and extremely cheap on cbid.

[FireRunner]

I love these cigars and they have, so far, been very much under the radar. The El Triunfador is an excellent morning and early afternoon cigar. It's part of the Pete Johnson line. I have a few dozens with a portion resting or over three years.

I like something mild, but fairly dark. Like an Onyx Reserve. Goes great with black coffee.

I think Connecticuts make a good morning smokes with a cup of coffee. Three of my favorites are the Ave Maria Imaculata, Man O' War Virtue, and La Pearla Habana Cobre. The Nub Connecticut is pretty good too, if you're okay with that vitola.

No surprise. I have a box of Oliva G maduros for a morning smoke with coffee. Smooth strong flavor, but weak nicotine. On rare occasion I'll grab something to slap me awake. Like tabasco on eggs, some mornings I just want it in there.

[Cameradude]

If I could afford to smoke an Illusione Epernay every morning, I would.

[RogueBallBoy]

Perdomo champagne. Not the sun grown! Those are gross...

[CamoSutra]

If "morning smoke" == milder, I can think of several that I happen to like with morning coffee. Various price ranges, too.

Macanudo Cafe: Possibly too mild if you like your coffee on the strong side, but pretty good with cream and sugar/Splenda.
Don Diego: I prefer one of the Babies with my second cup, black.
Casa Blanca: One of the few cigars I've found that are milder than Macanudos. Decaf, maybe?
Arturo Fuente Breva Royale or Curly Head, maybe a Hemingway Short Story if you're running late for the carpool.
Casa Torano: milder coffee, or cream/sugar.
Torano Master Blends 3: black coffee, medium or medium-dark roast.
Oliva Connecticut Reserve: Perhaps with a Starbucks Blonde Roast?
CAO Gold: Medium roast.
Casa de Garcia: Half-caf or a house brand.
Baccarat: Cream only, stir with head of cigar for sweetness.
Perdomo Lot 23: If you're grabbing coffee with a donut to go.

I agree with the MOW Virtue. Nice and smooth.
