If Im not mistaken you had written and article about/made reference to a deep seated passion for cigars...I lost the article so I may be way off. At any rate I was wondering if you had made any good discoveries with cigar/coffee pairings?
Cheers

Re: cigars
I just put a little spreadsheet together for research. Basically it involves me taking my laptop and a fresh roast down to the backroom of my local tobacconist, taking notes as I smoke my sunday cigar. I'm going to start with pairing the same regions...I'll keep you posted as to the findings. Do you have any sources for for good green Cuban coffee?

I wish that I could compete again this year. Moving to Philly from N.C. has tapped my resources this year, but think '09 will be my year.

Hi Spencer I look forward to having a cigar with you in Minneapolis. Do they have any good cigar bars there? I had a nice one in Portland the other week. It paired really nicely with the three ports I had...can't remember what the cigar was or which port it was either. Nice memory though...

Spencer,

Unfortunately, Minnesota now has a state-wide ban on smoking in indoor areas of the public. There are a few bars with outdoor seating that are cigar friendly, but that is about it.

Spencer! I am hurt you didn't mention me in that list of roasters for Celtic cup....Oh the pains of being the small guy .....

Awesome reply! Of course part of being the small guy is that I am the marketing guy too, and have proven to be woefully inept at it!
Carrboro Coffee Company is the wholesale roastery....pass the word and I will get back to work!
