The online coffee websites do not ship to Canada. Unclebeanz ships to lots of coutries, unfortunely, Canada is not one of them. There is an Italian supermarket that is supposed to a variety of coffee beans but I have not a chance to visit it yet. Our supermarkets have beans (roasted) but I have not found any like the ones you guys talk about. We will visit the US this summer and I will trT and find some. I do like Tim Horton's coffee but am looking forward to expanding my coffee experience, I do not care for Starbucks coffee.

Ahhhh, terrible shame. Well yes, most of us coffee experts, and those like myself who are not experts but far above the level of a novice, do not like "Charbucks" either. When you visit the states, if you're in NYC, check out Oren's Daily Roast, eight locations in NYC. The web site will tell you where. If you are here with enough time to order, give Green Mountain or Uncle Bean's a try, if the address where you're staying, say perhaps at the house of a friend, can accept a shipment.

Central Canada, eh?
All in all boys, it has been a great weekend!! I made waffles for the gang yesterday, and then they all went shopping while I cleaned up. The best part was sitting in the back yard enjoying the spring weather with a fine Dominican Bolivar cigar. A little mild, but smooth with lots of flavor. I am getting better, and life is good.
Don, if you have a Ten Thousand Villages store near you, that would be a good place to start brother. They sell Fair Trade cofee from around the world, and could point you in some new directions.
Another fine post Vince, keep it up brother, and a fine Easter Sunday to all of you!!

Hey Bikeman, glad to hear things are getting better. You are so right about Fair Trade coffees. Anyone who has access to the various coffees under the Fair Trade mark should try them out. Organically grown coffees with an eye toward helping the small farmers who grow them, and the surrounding communities.
After a 2pm early dinner at my mothers hose I enjoyed a God of fire and a glass of glenlevit 18 yo single malt scotch. Both where fantastic..
Yes, but when you ship something to Canada to a friend, he/she has to pay a king's ransom to go pick it up. That's why I had to stop sending cigars to Ramone2. Instead of a gift, the packages turned out to be a burden eventually.
As for me, after a big meal earlier this afternoon, I cracked open a brand new bottle of Pappy's 15. Then, another meal and I had some Baker's, and during the Baker's, at 2215 hours, I lit a 7.5x52 1994 Hoyo de Monterrey 1994 that I got at an HCF sit-down late in 2006. Yes, it's from the Island South Of Mamaroneck.

I dont ever want to see GOVERNMENT health care to come to this FREE country, pay me what I am worth & I will buy my own health care, right now I pay almost 400 a month for my self & my wife , but I pay it to a company who manages it much better than the government ever could, , Ok lets say I dont need to pay the 400 a month for health care & the Government supplys it, the doctors would be limited to what they can make a year & how many people a day they can see, & they will be paid by TAX dollars , so the cost will GO UP I dont want any more TAXES , if there is some thing I want or need I will find a way to pay for it , if my tax money is paying for it the guy at the medical center screening desk will find a way to put the money in his pocket instead of it going to health care, who now you got me started 7 its way past bed time , looks like this will be all for now I need to get up in 5 hours ! Enjoy, Vince
You just wait until Hitlary ascends to the throne. Universal health-care is on the way. NYC Democrats say so. They'll shove it down the rest of our throats, like it or not.
Well I got to spend the weekend in Da Burg. Weather still "Sucks" just like I remember. I brought a Va Ham to share Easter Sunday with the family and a case of Trader Joes finest wine.
It was great fun traveling with the two new Grandchildren 2 1/2 weeks old and the 3 yr old. Car seats are great for saftey but they suck for taking care of kids on the road. I must of made 4 or 5 stops on the way up Friday and another 4 or 5 on the way home Monday. Maybe when the weather breake I will get to see the new shop Vince.

Good morning everyone it is Sunday ,15 April 2007, it is 3 years since my by pass & I am down to or up to 227 I did get down to 215 from my all time high of 417 , but now I find I can eat things I wasn't able to eat before , like a small amount of bread, which before would make me sick , but now I can handle it, wish that never happened, before I just ate to do some thing, now I eat to stay alive, but the taste buds are still working & instead of allllllllll the food I was consuming now I drink more coffee if thats possable, sip a little scotch & smoke a fuller body cigar more than the light & medium body smokes , I still enjoy a Don Carlos III in the morning with coffee , but I have found that a Camacho SLR in the afternoon is one fine smoke , I have been savoring for a Camacho Select , & that is coming up this afternoon.
My wife & I went to see "Cats" last night , we have a New High school in the county devoted to the Arts, it is the Lincoln school for preforming arts , in Midland Pa , & what a fine place it is , a 4 story high atrium ( Dammmm fine place to smoke a cigar BUT NOT ALLOWED ) in front of the 750 seat Theater , a MAGNIFICENT performance by the students , a few future "American Idols" in this bunch & a few "sanjays & william hong's " also but they have the guts to get out there & do it ! , the dancing was great & the entire production was Broadway worthy , including the sanjays & william hungs, great comic relief ,I would willing to pay twice as much for my ticket to see it again, it was a great show ! ( I did get the tickets for free, my brother picked them up for me & I still haven't paid him for the tickets hahahaha ) BUT I will not pay him double !
We did a pod cast Friday night from King Beaver cigars , it should be up on the net at http://www.burghherfers.com some time today if it isn't all ready up, just click the link to the POD casts & listen at any & all of the 30/35 we have in the can all ready, they are all at lest an hour in length , good stuff to listen to with a cigar in hand !
the BUS is FULL for the cigar crawl, a sell out , looks like next year we will need 2 busses , I kind of liked it when we had a 55 seat bus & only 25/30 people went, you could SPREAD out & get shit faced , now you might need to crawl over some one to get to the bathroom , well I plan on fining the smallest person on the bus to share a seat with, , , who ever it is I will not let them smoke Flavored cigars , , dammmmm what an abomination , we sell a lot of acid cigars & a lot of flavored Philly blunts , but most of the people who smoke them Dont smoke them in the shop for obvious reasons on the blunts anyhow !
Yesterday was the first game of the spring Soccer season for the grandsons, & Jonas ( the 9 year old ) took on ball right to the head, he went down like a stack of playing cards , BAMMMMM , he is going to wake up this morning with a great shiner , I told him to block the kick with his hands not his head ! , a little ice & now he has a great story to tell !
we have been working on leftovers from Easter all week now , today I clean out the freezer & we finish it all & what ever is left over , is SOUP ! , ham & grits soup hummmm call it ham & polenta & I can charge twice the price hahahaha
I got my car back from the body shop & still dont have any turn signals, the E flasher still works & all the bulbds are fine , replaced the fuse & it worked fine till I stepped on the brake with the trn signals on & popped the fuse again, something isnt quite right ! , they gut at the body shop thinks its the turn signal switch, I think it is a pinched wire in one of the tail lights he replaced , well its going to an electrical shop on Tuesday .
we dodged a late winter storm of the century according to the local weather man at first he was calling for 10/20 inches of snow for the Burgh & more to the east of the city , well the temp stayed up & we are getting RAIN, Thank GOD , you dont need to shovel rain !!
its about time for me to head to the Qtr.Deck with a pot of Kona & a Cigar, I have some jazz to listen to & a bottle of Spayburn to finish , cant open a new one till this one is gone , I should be opening the new one about 4PM ! , Come on over if you can !
Enjoy, Vince

Just about 11:30 here. It's a bit breezy, but temps headed for the 80's.
My tastebuds and lungs are still in recovery from yesterday's cigar filled day with Brenda and Barcochris. Wonderful people. By the way, you two, I went back to The Crystal Palace about 9:30, the barmaids were dancing on the bar! Ha! Missed it!
Last of pot #2 of coffee is just about gone. I'm off to Spangenburg's Gun Shop. The dogs, Wile E and Coyote love cats, and the gun shop is giving away 10 week old kittens. Ya, there ain't enough fur to vacuum already...
So, I'll walk the dogs around town, and take along a VR Belicoso, one of my favorites. Great pizza at Big Nose Kate's, so I think that will be my lunchtime destination.

Not too bad of day here, although the golf course is still not open. I sat on the deck and smoked a La Auroa Preferido Plantinum and drank my morning coffee. I really appreciate all my fellow cigar smokers and coffee drinkers that offered to hook me up with coffee beans. One of the readers works for Uncle Beanz and is sending me some beans to try. I really like the brotherhood that exists on this forum, thanks a million you guys are the best. I am a huge fan of the Calgary Flames and am currently watching them lose to Detroit. Detroit is the better team and I am afraid our playoff season is going to be short lived, oh well there is always next year.
down the road from vince its a rainy 33 outside. My wife is on the way to texas on a work related trip. I have the house to myself for the next 3 or so days. I cracked my first beer at 3 PM. im heading to the attic for what i hope will be my first of many cigars the next few days. I may even smoke the pipe a bit.
my afternoon beer: Sam Adams Black Lager. I need a strong cigar to compete with this... im going for either a brazilia or Partagas Black. ill get back to you guys on that one.
Vince, I did the soccer thing for 16 years. (almost went pro) If your grandson is going to take a ball to the head and he cant get out of the way tell him to do his best to clench his teeth. all the tight muscles in his head will make the ball just bounce off. the way to be good at soccer is to control the ball, dont let it controll you!
im rootin for him!!

it was a kick that he was trying to defend, & it caught him flat footed, he loves the game but I dont see him playing anything as a pro, he is the smallest kid on the team , dosent get much playing time but he puts his body on the line when he needs to, he just needs to keep his hands up to protect him self, he had his mother worried sick when he didnt move for a few seconds , he did walk off the field but he needed a tittle help, the entire side of his face is brused but he still looks good hahahahaha, he will be back at 8 am for the next game on Saturday , for the next 3 weeks his game is at 8 am , dammmmm I like the noon starts a lot better!!!!!!!
