Can't have a pipe without a good cup O Joe. Not that fancy pants stuff just plain ole coffee I brew at home Maxwell house. And of course creamer for my ulcer. 
No, didn't even read the article but, when you say PAIRING I think I get the gist.

Most any coffee goes with any smoke, for me.

I have noticed a conflict pairing some beverages with the pipe. As I said, no morning smokes for me…. It would be like drinking whiskey for breakfast to me.

I had too many scotches the other day after work. I was there for over 4 hours and it went well with my pipe, but I asked my bartender friend to please keep me in check, hehe.

I felt the same way for a long time, but I started smoking a pipe after breakfast with my coffee because it’s the one time of day where I consistently have control of my time. And tobacco and coffee are a match made in heaven. Thanks for sharing the article! |

The perfect start to my day is some quiet time with a pipe and a cup of coffee.

I always found that not only coffee, but also tea or sparkling water pair best with a good pipeful, any time of the day.

I usually have a late breakfast (or early lunch?). Afterward, there's nothing like a cup of coffee with my pipe.

On the rare occasion I do smoke in the morning I like old joe krantz and whatever coffee I have on hand.

Cheerwine pairs well with some tobaccos. Other sodas not so much. Milk has paired well with most aros I have tried it with. |

Also, I tend to pick my coffee blend based on what I've loaded in the morning's first pipe. We use a Keurig K-cup brewer. So, I always have about a half dozen blends on hand to pick from. If I'm having a straight Va, I tend to reach for a light roast blend like Green Mountain Ethiopia Supreme or McCafe Breakfast Blend. With a Burley blend, I go for a robust coffee like a straight Columbian or McCafe Regular. For a mild English blend, it could be any of the above of a flavored coffee like Hazelnut or Southern Pecan. I rarely start the day with a full English blend.

Three days a week, I sit with the wife and have coffee although she does not complain, she came back from Valley Fever (respiratory issue that can happen in the southwest) The other 4 days, I am either getting up early at home and do want to cut in my sleep… other times I am at a hotel. Might change on retirement when I have more time control. |

The problem with upping your coffee game is the days you suffer with a mickey yah yahs or worse the dreaded Kcup concoctions. If you know you know.

I also use a Keurig brewer but I only brew one kind. Starbucks Pikes place. 2 pods in my mug, one 8 oz and one 6 oz. That is usually my coffee for the day.

Pikes Place is my coffe, just found out Cosco Kirkland coffe is Starbucks, medium roast, I believe 2.5 lbs for less than 15$, also wife’s purchase of a new coffe maker, Zojirushi takes way less coffee than our old Mr Coffee., 6 cups in the morning and I’m fueled up!

That said, KBV Burley Morning is very good with coffee, whenever you drink it. I believe you suggested that to me when I joined. I bought some and I agree, very nice. Coffee choice for me, Folger's classic roast, black. |
