Top 10 Breakfast Cigars to Pair with Coffee – 2020

Up until mid-2019, I didn't like lighter cigars. I assumed they were flavorless and bland. And, the idea that I'd pair a cigar with coffee wasn't even on my radar. Sure, I'd enjoyed my cigars with water, wine, beer, and bourbon, but enjoy one in the morning and pair a cigar with coffee?

That is until I reviewed the Perdomo Champagne, a cigar that changed my perspective on “breakfast cigars,” and I started searching out what cigars I could smoke in the morning and pair with coffee.

There's something delicious that occurs when you take two elements so rich in heritage and enjoy them together. You want the flavors of the cigar to complement the flavors of the coffee. Like chocolate and caramel, peanut butter and jelly, a great coffee and cigar pairing can be legendary.

Whether you regularly pair your cigars with coffee or if you're skeptical like I was, this post is for you!
