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.

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.
Puffing away since the early 90s. Still going strong.

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.

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

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.Smoke what you like, like what you smoke. Or don't. What do I care?
