I never thought I'd have a cigar that early in the morning but one day after getting a bomb it was a about 0600 and I took the weiner dog for a walk and wanted to try a stick a I was gifted so I thought what the hell. Grabbed a Genesis Project Scotty sent me and it was very very enjoyable! I'm only working part time so on mornings I don't work or work a shift that starts between 1000-1200 I go for a 2-3 mile walk and enjoy a cigar. I would not do that if I had to be there by 0800 as I would not want my coworkers to smell me or frankly would not want to smell myself. And I'm not getting up at 0500 for a cigar for a morning shift.
So curious if you have a cigar for breakfast do you have a good to stick? Mine is typically a Undercrown Corona Viva. Anyone care to share?

back when i worked at a b&m it was a lot of cusano 18's and oliva ct's with a cup of coffee to start the day. BUT, my ideal way to start the day is a pl montecarlo, perfect size and shape for the mornings (of course with coffee as well)

God of Fire 2009 - Carlito stick would be a pretty amazing morning smoke. The sweetness matches very well with breakfasty items

RJE4 works for me too, but im down to my last half-cabinet so i have been having a Party PC. Like the E4, they are the perfect size to get me from my garage to my office in traffic. I usually pull in to work just as my fingers start to burn.

The cigar I want to taste every bit of, LFD Double Ligero, Opus X, strong CC. I have noticed lately that as the day goes on my taste buds get duller.

Ave Marias are my go-tos. 5 Vegas High Primings are also great with coffee.

Be even sweeter if I could afford them muchness have them on hand for breakfast!
I do not have much experience with GoF. Probably only had 3 in my life. The places around here that sell them are in the $30+ range.

Hahaha nice! I remember when I was a rookie a guy at the club suggested a LFD DL Digger. I had it on an empty stomach. Damn near puked. It was my hazing as the new guy. So all week long, 7 days in a row I smoked that sucker just to prove I was "man enough" to get through it (hindsight is always 20/20 after all.) Since that week the LFD DL aren't even strong for me anymore. I get more of a buzz off the Camacho Triple Maduro (if it will stay lit) than a LFD DL. I really like Lito's cigars. We had plans to go to Big Smoke this year as we had vendor passes but as life happens, life happens but Lito and Jorge Padron were the two gentleman I was most excited to meet.
Ha! I still remember that first digger and how I was in like a medical experiment or in the movie "Armageddon" when they are meeting with the psychiatrists in that odd room and they pan back and see other Dr's piering in through the window. I felt like that.

My favorite morning smoke was the HdM du depute. I believe they were from 1999 or so. Great smokes, but never tried any that are fresher.
I used to love getting up just at dawn and sitting on the deck with one, watching the fog over the lake.
Now I sleep in.

Anything on the milder end is a breakfast smoke for me. Avos, Davidoffs, SC Elegancias, Oliva V Melanios, and Tat Black Petite Lanceros are amongst my favorite breakfast sticks.
