Popular Post BoliDan Posted July 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2020 I'm a dark roast - black coffee/Americano guy. BCJ, Partagas Shorts or Siglo I/II. If I treat myself to Cappachino or Latte, PLPC or Monte 4. We got a lot of Coffee fanatics on this forum. Some members have coffee makers that require a mechanical engineer's degree to operate. Some, go as far as getting fresh beans, making blends and roasting it fresh. I'm sure some tried making their cat eat some... I use a $35 Mr. Coffee espresso machine with LaVazza, and a $80 Cuisneart coffee maker. I know what I like, but i'll defer to the real coffee fans. Hopefully learn something. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Well first, I love good coffee, and I prefer to drink it black, an acquired taste. (My WW2 vet grandfather explained to me as a kid that if I wanted to grow up tough, I wasn't to use cream and/or sugar.) I've tried everything from Kona to Jamaica Blue Mountain and loved them but I've settled on Jacobs Kronung as a more affordable daily java. It's a german coffee and I highly recommend it. As for the cigar pairings with coffee...oh jeez there are so many. As for Cubans, I like the HU #2, PLPC, Bolivar PC, and R&J Churchill's when I have the time. Heck maybe even a RASS or JL #2 depending on the mood. NCs? Warped La Haciendas, Guardian of the Farm, AJF Encore, or something by Isabela Cigars. Highly recommend Isabela if you haven't checked them out yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder...what’s your go to CC with coffee? And to narrow the inquiry a bit - let’s talk morning(ish) smokes. On days I am lucky enough to be able to have a cigar with my coffee, I typically figure out what the best cigar is that I plan to smoke on that day, to have with it. This is not because of the coffee though. It is because of the timing. I always try to smoke my best cigar of the day, first, so that I am smoking it on a clean palate. I also have my coffee first thing in the morning, so those two things intersect with each other. So the cigars I pair with my coffee are typically Siglo VI, Esmeralda, Esplendido, or occasionally a Reserva or book cigar of some kind. Right now, I am smoking a Siglo VI, that I started on my drive home from work, with my morning coffee. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGuns Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Thank you all for taking the time to indulge me. It’s interesting to me - albeit not surprising at all - how there are so many varying approaches to this question. The same can said about cigars in general: to each their own, to put it simply. Typically, I smoke in the afternoon/evening, usually paired with a beer or whiskey choice, like MB mentioned. By nature, I am drawn to the more medium-full profiles, which I’m not sure would suit what I would be looking for in the morning (my typical coffee drinking time). I have certainly enjoyed an espresso or other “fancy” java selection with a smoke later in the day, but again, with a fuller smoke as the business part of my day may be winding down. I’m not sure I would be looking for the occasionally surprising, but always welcome, nicotine face kick as my day starts to unfold. I do know that I don’t want to fall into some predetermined routine or schedule associated with this passion of ours, or perhaps I’m just looking for a way to enjoy it more, more often! Looking forward to giving a few of the thoughts in here a go...and for more discussion. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorOctagon Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 If I choose to drink an Aeropressed coffee (a local roaster) is generally paired with a stick that compliments the profile of the bean which is usually based upon the origin region of the bean. Cherry, berry, citrus, mineral, stone fruit, cocoa notes in the coffee pair very well with Ramon Allones or a Partagas Short in my experience. Partagas Habaneros, young PLPC, Bolivar JC, HUHC/Major/Minor pair so well with a cup that leans more towards chocolate and baking spices. Any coffee that is earthy, Party Short 100%. Drip coffee with cream and honey (my usual cup during the week) pairs well with so many sticks. PLMC is a given, and of course RG Perlas. Partagas Shorts also pair well because they often can be molasses-sweet. Montecristo No's tend to all have the same profile as the coffee and are fantastic. There is also something about Cohiba Shorts that make them good for anything! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickdrinker Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Any good cigar goes well with a good coffee. That concludes my technical notes on the matter. The PigI am in agreement. I don’t have a preference between marcas to have with a coffee.

CampDelta369 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 A good question for @Raskol I think. For me the MC#5 gets the most plays. The PLMC can be sublime as well. I do prefer 100% Arabica Illy Classic Roast but Carl's Junior works on the road. So I'm saying what The Pig said.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
