    Thanks Sean! Best wishes to your cousin, I think that's awesome! Honestly, Peet's Coffee and Tea is solely the reason why I started developing much more interest and passion for coffee; many other coffee people I know also had their starting off in the hobby for coffee from Peet's. Prior to...

    I recommend Peet's Coffee and Tea too; they roast in the dark spectrum causing a lot of their coffees to be unmistakably bitter and heavily bodied (which you could call "strong"), but they don't roast too dark to completely lack in flavor (in contrast to Starbucks, who roast darker than Peet's)...

    An Adventure in Coffee: What I've Learned

    Over the past two years, I have grown to love and appreciate coffee. Coffee is a hobby and a blessing for me. It's simply awesome to have the opportunity to taste the outcome of a lot of hard work, skill, and care of a very complex culinary beverage. There are a lot of factors that go into...

    Excited to Smoke Cigars Again

    Thanks for the recommendations! I can't wait to try them all.... I really have no idea of what alcohol drinks are as to the type of tastes they bring to the palate. That Glenmorangie sounds real good as nice and easy drinking scotch. Thanks again!

    My hiatus: A story of coming out to family

    Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Leaf, It's been a while since I've been here, and it's been a while since I've smoked a cigar. Very few of you may remember me, but I used to post a couple of posts here and there about half a year ago until March of this year - and that's where this story of...

    Liga Privada T-52 Toro: quickie review

    I have one of these deliciously marvelous cigars in my humi - I'm letting it rest and saving it for an occasion when the food I eat before I smoke it is good enough to hold its place before the T-52.... Does anyone else do this? With that said, I hope my patience is rewarded. :)

    Viaje Platino Reserva Quick Review

    I just had this cigar today! I had about the same experince as you. Thank you for the review! There was definitely that change around the 2/3 to final third of the cigar - you described it to be a "bitter cocoa" and I fully agree that it also picked up greater strength, especially towards the...
