Great Coffee, Cuban Cigars, Single Malt Scotch. Hmmmm... A Theme Here Perhaps?

A Short Espresso, A Long Cigar, A Great Experience.


Over the past couple of years, DH Matthew and I have found some pretty fantastic joys in life. With kids older and off to university, we have discovered that alone time is best spent with fruits of the earth. Since that alone time is precious, the price of that fruit has gone up. Cigarettes are for amateurs as are blended Scotches, bland wines or coffees that do not make your heart sing.

We found that as Matthew's age and career advanced, so did our palate for food and drink. Funny thing, our friends and the arbitrary people we came to meet said the same thing. We learn from each other and most of these folks have lots to say. They know about single malt Scotches, Pino Noir wines, Angus beef and Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. I thought we were in a recession?


Fewer friends know of or are tolerant of our Cuban cigar smoking hobby, but on Facebook, Twitter and at my local cigar patio where I am one of two women smokers, the passion is alive and well. When we talk about our favorite "stick", we also talk Scotch, favorite coffees and various other passions including fine wine and art. The men talk golf and soccer of course. No one seems to talk about garbage pick up, their mechanic or plumber or other mortal woes. They do say they wish their wives would pick up the cigar habit!
 

It occurs to me that the cross promotion opportunity here is immense. For Rocketfuelcoffee.com, my rare coffees are the perfect match for the cigar and single malt Scotch enthusiast. Price is not the issue, but is the product genuine and does it deliver on taste. Will a group of friends be satisfied sitting around a table and be proud to serve it? Will your Hawaiian Kona, Jamaican Blue Mountain, or KOPI LUWAK be worth bragging about along with your Cohibas and Glenmorangie?

I can tell you with confidence. Yes. Yes it will.

Cheers!
