Re: What am I in for?
Panama Boquete is a nice bean -- light but tasty. I haven't tried the CR Tarrazu Miel, but I've been roasting the CR Puente Miel -- fantastic stuff.

Re: Looking for a Coffee Roaster
I used an IRoast-2 for almost two years with no mechanical problems, aside from the time I dropped the top that holds the chaff collector and cracked it. (Replacement cost 15 bucks.) My routine was...

Re: Anyone ever smoked a Zelo De Cuba?
I've bitten on deals like this in the past and they're either complete garbage or decent yard gars. If they burn well and don't taste like compost you did okay. Can't expect much more than that for...

Re: how low would u go for a cup
Cheap-but-honest hotel room/convenience store Robusta Blend is okay if there's no decent alternative. Starbucks is not a decent alternative.

Alternatives to Top25Cigar.com?
For the past couple of years I've been keeping track of my likes and dislikes on T25C, but since "the change" I'm having problems with it -- for one, when you go to your list of reviews they're no...

Roaster review: Behmor 1600

Re: What are you reading?
I just finished The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon. One of the strangest books I've come across and I'm not sure what to think of it. It got under my skin, but not necessarily in a good way.

Re: books in mp3 format for ipod

Re: OJ Simpson Sentencing
Looks like this works out to a 7.5 to 20 year beef -- the max is based on him serving out his entire sentence in prison and getting the mandatory good time credits. (If he has disciplinary problems...
