Previous: B - Body Part

ABC Masterlist - Main Masterlist

C – Cum 

In the beginning, you were naturally a shy person.  It took a few coffee dates before Nick could take you on a real date. And even then, it took a few dates before he made it to third base.  Your shyness made getting into your pants hard work, but Nick was a very patient man.  

On your sixth date was when he finally got to feel how exquisite your pussy was.  He had convinced you to allow him to cook for you and with a meal of prawns with angel hair pasta paired with a crisp white wine.  Sitting in his apartment, wine glass in hand, Nick sits across from you, letting his fingers dance across your thighs. “Let me make you feel good, Princess.”  

Really how are you supposed to say no to that? 

After nodding, you found yourself on your back, panties on the floor, Nick playing with your pussy.  He was fucking right when he said his fingering was accurate.  He got you to cum twice, around his tongue and fingers before he got his pants off.  You didn’t even remember seeing his shirt coming off, but his hidden tattoos were now on display. He climbed back on top of you, kissing your skin. “Can I feel you, princess?” 

“I – uh- I’m on the pill,” you studder.  

Nick does nothing but smile.  He grasps your thighs underneath to spread your legs wider and he nudges his tip at your entrance. He’s big and you swallow.  Nick kisses you to distract from the pressure of his cock entering you. He fills you perfectly and all you can do is hold on.  He snaps his hips hard and fast, keeping a slow pace.  It's torturous and sinful and perfect.  As you adjust to his size, you dig in your nails into his forearms, needed to ground yourself. 

Nick relishes the pain as he holds back from pounding you into the mattress.  Finally, he feels you relax, and he ups the pace, listening to the sweet sounds coming out as your body begins to build.  “N-nick, I don’t, fuck, I don’t know how much more I can last.”  

“I know princess, can feel you strangling me.  Do you want to cum all over me?  Gotta tell me.” 

“Nicky!” You are almost at your release, just a few more snaps of his hips.  

“Let go! I got you, princess.  Cum for me!” 

It's like an explosion, the sensation of satisfaction.  Your core clenches on him as you cum the hardest you have ever done. You literally black out from the force and come back to reality as Nick faulters slightly, chasing his own high.  Once, twice and he erupts in you, filling you with his warmth.  As he slows, your mind is hazy from the aftershocks, giving him a dopey smile.  

He pulls out of you and crawls down, looking at the mess between your legs.  He watches in fascination as some of his seed begins to escape your abused pussy. It runs out slowly, a mixture of the two of you.  “Oh baby, we don’t want to waste that.” He takes two fingers to scoop it up and push it back into you.  “I want you to feel me all night long and, in the morning, I’ll fuck you again so you can feel my cum all day too.”  

Nick Vaughn is the devil you didn’t know you needed.

Giving chocolates is a way to show your love on Valentines Day. Human beings have been in love with chocolate and the Cacao tree (Theobroma cacao) for thousands of years, and today we will learn about the romance of culture and chocolate.

Although Cacao is most famously associated with Mesoamerican cultures, genetic studies indicate that Cacao was domesticated by indigenous Americans around 5,300 years ago in the Upper Amazon region. From there, Cacao cultivation spread north to Mexico. The Cacao fruit pulp was more commonly consumed in South America in Pre Columbian times while the Mesoamericans invented the technique of fermentation and roasting to utilise the Cacao nibs.

Archaeological evidence, such as chemical residues on ancient pottery shards, pinpoints the first use of Cacao drinks in Mesoamerica around 1600 BCE. By the time of the Classical Mayan civilization (250-900 CE), ground cacao nibs were mixed with water and spices by careful pouring between vessels to make a nourishing and invigorating hot drink which was consumed by people of all social classes. In the later Mexica (Aztec) civilization, cold cacao drink or xocoatl (bitter water in Nahuatl) exquisitely flavoured with flowers, fruits, chillies, and spices was reserved for the elite and ceremonial occasions. Cacao seeds were used as a form of currency for trade and barter during the Mexica Empire.

After the conquest of the Mexica Empire by Spain in 1521, cacao was one of the many new plant-based foods brought to Europe. In Spain, the locals of Andalusia experimented with the spicy xocoatl by adding cane sugar and dairy ingredients. It is said that drinking chocolate was so universally popular from the 17th century to the late 19th century that it prevented coffee from becoming mainstream in Spanish culture. Drinking chocolate caught on in the rest of Europe in the 1600’s but it was not until the mid 19th century that innovation in processing and chemistry allowed the invention of solid chocolate candies. Cadbury chocolate company is credited with marketing chocolates as a token of love for Valentines Day in 1868.

Chocolate in the modern world is not always a sweet story. Today, approximately 70% of the world’s cacao is produced in West African countries like Ghana and the Ivory Coast. Sadly, exploitative practices like child labour and enslavement are still rife in these countries’ Cacao farms. Chocolate lovers can help by buying Fair Trade certified chocolate products and other responsibly grown cacao products. Fortunately, cacao can be grown in sustainable agroforestry alongside native rainforest trees especially in Latin America. Cacao’s sacred and medicinal properties are experiencing a renaissance among “chocolate shamans” around the world who drawn upon indigenous knowledge to make the ethical production and mindful consumption of cacao a healing spiritual experience.

Humanity and Cacao have a long-lasting love that continues to evolve over time, and has the potential to benefit plants, people, and the planet. Ponder the storied history of Cacao if you indulge in chocolate this Valentines Day.

Top 5 Cigars of 2023

Calling all cigar enthusiasts! If you want to know which cigars made it to the top of the list in 2023, you're in for a treat. In this video, we will reveal the five best cigars, according to Cigar Journal, that every connoisseur needs to try.

Welcome, fellow aficionados! Today, we dive into the world of premium cigars and uncover the crème de la crème of 2023. Cigar Journal, a trusted authority in the industry, has meticulously selected these cigars. Join me as we explore these exquisite blends and discover what differentiates them. 

Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just starting your journey into fine tobacco, this video is your gateway to experiencing some truly exceptional smokes. So sit back, prepare your palate, and let's indulge in the artistry of these masterfully crafted cigars together.

Starting at number 5, the Plasencia Alma Fuerte Eduardo cigar is renowned for its complex and rich flavor profile. Upon lighting, one can expect to be greeted with a symphony of tastes, including the deep and comforting notes of cocoa and almonds. As the experience progresses, hints of nutmeg and cedar emerge, adding warmth and woodiness to the palate. 

The Alma Fuerte Eduardo's Colorado Claro wrapper, which has been aged for a decade, imparts a distinctive taste with a tempered body. This aging process contributes to developing the cigar's nuanced flavors, such as dark chocolate, plum, and cinnamon, rounded out with finishing notes of oak and molasses. 

These flavors are further complemented by a rich profile that includes black pepper, natural tobacco, fruit, and earth, providing a complex and satisfying smoking experience.

The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Eduardo cigar has also been described as having a medium-bodied profile, with the Colorado claro wrapper enhancing the deep notes of almonds, cedar, cocoa, nutmeg, and hints of spice. This combination of flavors reflects the craftsmanship and quality of the tobacco used, characteristic of premium cigars.

Number 4 on this list is the Rocky Patel Disciple Robusto.  This medium to full-bodied cigar showcases a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, enveloping a blend of Nicaraguan fillers and binder. This particular cigar is part of a line introduced by Rocky Patel Premium Cigars Inc., a company founded in 1995 by Rakesh "Rocky" Patel, a former Hollywood attorney who developed an interest in cigars while mingling with actors on set. 

The Disciple Robusto has been well-received in the cigar community, earning a 91-point rating from Cigar Aficionado. During the initial third, smokers can expect to experience a blend of oak, earth, and spice, transitioning into a balanced black pepper flavor. As the cigar progresses, a toasted cedar note emerges around three-quarters of an inch into the cigar, complementing the existing flavors. 

Moving into the second third of the cigar, the mocha notes dominate, increasing pepper, cedar, and earth notes, creating a rich and flavorful dimension combining chocolate and coffee elements. 

As the smoker enters the final third of the Rocky Patel Disciple Robusto, the flavors continue to be led by gritty earth and rich espresso beans. Still, there is also a noticeable change in the retro-hale. 

The raisin sweetness present earlier takes a back seat to a sharply increased amount of black pepper. The overall construction remains impressive, with a beautiful draw and a burn line that continues to give no problems.

Third place for 2023 finds the Liga Privada Unico Serie Year of the Rabbit cigar. This cigar is part of Drew Estate's Liga Privada line, which translates to "private blend" in Spanish. It features a Connecticut River Valley Stalk Cut Habano wrapper, a Mexican San Andres binder, and a blend of Nicaraguan and Brazilian fillers. 

This blend is notable for its departure from the Connecticut broadleaf wrappers commonly used in other Liga Privada cigars, opting instead for a Habano seed grown in the Connecticut River Valley. The cigar is crafted in a Robusto size, measuring four and a half inches, and has a ring-gauge of 54.

The Liga Privada Unico Serie Year of the Rabbit cigar offers a complex and evolving flavor profile throughout its smoking experience. In the first third, smokers can expect an impeccable taste with a flavor profile that is described as incredible. 

As the cigar progresses into the second third, the tasting notes become more defined by earthiness, barnyard, and leather, with barnyard notes replacing toastiness in the trio of dominant flavors. Toastiness remains present, however, alongside some generic cracker flavors. 

Moving into the final third, one can anticipate a continuation of the rich and complex flavors characteristic of the Liga Privada line, given the overall description of the cigar's quality and craftsmanship.

Before we divulge the top 2 cigars of the year, please take a moment to subscribe to our channel.  It helps us out a lot, and we appreciate it very much.  And on we go.

The runner-up spot of the year's top cigars goes to J.C. Newman and their El Baton Belicoso.  The J.C. Newman El Baton Belicoso cigar carries a rich history deeply intertwined with the legacy of America's oldest family-owned premium cigar maker. 

The El Baton brand was initially introduced by J.C. Newman in 1914, when cigars were an everyday luxury and a nickel could secure a hand-rolled cigar made with Cuban tobacco. 

The El Baton Belicoso is known for its robust pyramid shape, which is shorter and features a more rounded taper at the head compared to other tapered cigars like torpedoes or pyramids. 

Measuring approximately 5 to 5 1/2 inches in length with a ring gauge of 50 to 54, the Belicoso size is a testament to the craftsmanship and tradition passed down through four generations of the Newman family.

This cigar is steeped not only in tradition but also in flavor. It leaves bold impressions of coffee, spice, and raisins on the palate, a profile that has earned it a well-deserved 93 rating. The revival of the El Baton brand represents a bridge between the company's storied past and its present-day success as it continues to handcraft some of the world's finest cigars.

Drumroll for the Cigar of the Year for 2023:  This honor goes to E.P. Carillo’s Allegiance Confidant. This is a notable addition to the esteemed portfolio of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, a legendary figure in the cigar industry. The Allegiance line was created through a partnership with Oliva Cigar Co., and the cigars are rolled at their factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. This collaboration marks a unique chapter in Perez-Carrillo's illustrious career, as he typically produces cigars at his factory, Tabacalera La Alianza S.A., in the Dominican Republic.

The Allegiance Confidant features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that encases a Nicaraguan binder and filler. This combination yields a medium to full-bodied profile, offering a refined flavor palette that includes cedar, rich espresso, earthy undertones, and a blend of spices. 

The cigar has been recognized for its quality and complexity, earning it a 95 rating by Cigar Aficionado and a number 1 spot in Cigar Journal’s Top 25 of 2023.

Here is what you can expect when enjoying 2023’s Cigar of the Year: The initial third of the E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Confidant introduces a palate of pepper, quickly complemented by a delightful mix of caramel and cream. 

This combination sets up an engaging flavor profile without being too aggressive. The sweet and spicy nuances are harmonized beautifully to captivate the smoker from the get-go. 

Transitioning into the middle section of the cigar, the E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Confidant reveals a sophisticated melange of flavors. Vanilla comes to the forefront, adding a pleasant aromatic sweetness, while an earthen mushroom delivers a hint of umami depth. Burnt wood notes provide a robust base, reminding smokers of the cigar's handcrafted artisanship. 

As the cigar concludes, the profile shifts towards a rich, peppery finish spiked with gingerbread spice. Accents of nutmeg and cinnamon emerge, offering a warm and inviting endnote. The smoke may pick up in intensity, ending on a bolder note than it began, allowing aficionados to savor the expert craftsmanship that went into the blend. 

We hope you’ve enjoyed our video on the top 5 cigars of 2023, as chosen by Cigar Journal Magazine.  Please enjoy another in our growing line of videos, such as this ‘Cigar Loung Etiquette’ on the screen now.

Add some whimsy to your day! It's not, "I've made my morning coffee" it is, "In the dawn, I have crafted an exquisite elixir made of three parts, all from distant lands. A sweet grass has been crushed and crystalized, a mother cow has lent me some milk, and the seeds of a supple fruit have been roasted and ground. I add to this boiled water, & feel invigorated by the potion!"

Top 10 Foods You Must Try in Kerala

When someone hears the word "Kerala," the first thing that typically springs to mind is the tranquil scenery the region is known for; the mouthwatering food is the second greatest thing. Kerala is a foodie's dream come true because it is home to numerous diverse cuisines. There is a great deal of variation in the preparation methods, which allows your palate a great deal of freedom to experiment. Having said that, there are some meals that you simply must taste when making travel plans to Kerala. This blog aims to simplify your meal selections for your next trip to Kerala.

Don’t miss these foods when you are in Kerala…!

   1. Malabar Parotta And Beef Curry

Most people mistake parotta for the northern parathas. However, this misnomerous similarity only applies to the language, as it is essentially referred to as the Keralites' most beloved food. Once the dough has been mixed and spread very differently, it is created using simple flour, or maida. A quality parotta should always be created with good resonance. Kerala's Malabar area is the origin of Malabar Parotta. It retains flavor when eaten with vegetarian or non-vegetarian curries. But beef curry is the most exquisite way to pair parotta. The ingredients for the beef curry include onions, tomatoes, garlic, and a long list of spices. The mixture is cooked with small pieces of beef to create a flavorful, thick gravy.

   2. Puttu and Kadala

One of the main breakfast dishes offered in Kerala is puttu. To make big logs, rice flour, water, and salt are combined, then the mixture is steam-cooked with grated coconut. When it comes to puttu, black chickpea curry, also known as kadala curry, is the most popular combination. A mixture of roasted coconut, spices, and coconut milk is called kadala curry. This dish is very nutritious and has a rich gravy with a spicy taste. Puttu combines beautifully with pappad and small, ripe bananas.

   3. Pazhampori or Banana Fritters 

This is a popular snack food in Kerala. Every Keralite has a hankering for pazhampori and a warm cup of tea or coffee. It is prepared by dipping ripe bananas in either typical flour or atta flour batter, then frying them in coconut oil and delivering them hot.

   4. Kerala Prawn Curry

It is among the popular delicacies from the Malabar area. It is prepared using a mixture of green chile, coconut milk, fennel seeds, black mustard seeds, and fenugreek seeds. The taste is mostly imparted by using kudampuli, also known as brindleberry. To get the sour, sweet, and tangy flavor, the prawns are marinated in spice powders, set out of the way, and then boiled with the remaining mixture and drumsticks.

    5. Thalassery Biriyani

For Keralite people, biryani evokes certain feelings, and when it comes to Thalassery biryani, those feelings intensify. A distinct variety of rice known as "Kaima," which is fragrant and extremely small, is used in thalasserie biryani. Just before serving, the rice and beef or chicken gravy are combined after being cooked independently and stacked. After the biryani is layered, there's a method where a heavy lid is put on the container containing the biryani, covered with dough to help retain the taste, and uncovered right before serving.

     6. Karimeen Pollichathu

Karimeen pollichathu, one of the most well-known foods in Kerala, lives up to its curious name. As everyone knows, various fish species can be found in Kerala's backwaters. Keralan seafood is hence recognized for being exceptional. One of the most popular foods from Kerala is Karimeen pollichathu, which is produced from the well-known fish Karimeen. Pearl spotfish is another name for karimeen. This fish is marinated with lemon juice, chilies, and other rich species from Kerala. The fish is marinated and then cooked in plantain leaves, which again imparts a distinct flavor to the fish.

    7. Fish Moilee

Nothing compares to Keralan seafood like it!

Everything in the recipe tastes better and is more healthful because of the fresh and soft fish. The stew cuisine, Syrian Christian stew, is the source of inspiration for Kerala's Fish Moilee. Fish Moilee is a stew cooked with fish, as the name says. This dish's interesting feature is that it's made in a manchatti, a type of traditional earthen pot. Kingfish or seer fish are the two types of fish utilized in this recipe. This recipe calls for several spices, including turmeric, pepper, cloves, and cinnamon. Green chiles give this meal its fiery taste.

    8. Palada Payasam

Desserts are thought to be a good way to end a meal. Kerala's most cherished and genuine dessert is Palada Payasam. This dish is prepared for all major holidays, including Onam and other celebrations. It is composed of milk, sugar, ghee, and rice ada. It is comparable to the dessert known as "kheer." This meal has a silky texture, and the rice on every spoon adds to its flavor. It is regarded as one of Kerala's most traditional and delicious desserts.

    9.  Appam along with Stew

Are pancakes to your taste? If so, you ought to try Appam with stew without a doubt. It's well known that appam is the Indian take on pancakes. On the other hand, stew originated from European soup. Essentially, fermented rice and coconut milk are used to make an appam. You can make it with or without vegetables, but keep in mind that the purpose of chopping the veggies for the appam is to give it some color and texture. The stew, on the other hand, is rich and cooked with diced veggies, coconut milk, aromatic spices from Kerala, and many other ingredients. There are also prominent ginger flavors in the stew. Keralan delicacies like appam and stew are highly recommended.

     10. Erissery or Pumpkin and Lentil Curry

Although many people dislike pumpkin, this Keralan meal made with pumpkin is simply too good to resist. Although this dish is typically prepared during Onam or other holidays, it's always a good idea to try it any day. This meal combines spicy and sweet flavors. Pumpkin's sweetness blends well with other spices, such as garlic and cumin. This recipe calls for coconut, just like every other Keralan meal does. This hearty curry goes well with rice or as a soup. This curry rice is typically served with ghee by Keralans.

 11. Kappa biriyani  

A meal to see, Kappa Biriyani, also known as Irachi Kappa or Ellum Kappayum, is a Kerala specialty with a delicious blend of flavors. Kerala Kappa Biriyani is a filling dish that is a beloved classic among non-vegetarians in Kerala. It is a tasty combination of tapioca and spicy beef. Similar to Chenda Kappa, Chakka Kuzhachathu, Kappa vevichathu with beef roast, or Red fish curry, this Kappa Biriyani is a popular dish in the Kottayam and Idukki regions in Central Kerala. Another Kappa delicacy is Kappa Ularthiyathu made in the Thrissur tradition. While regional variations exist in the recipes, the result is consistently delicious—the Beef Kappa Combo is a culinary delight not to be forgotten.Other names for tapioca include Yuca, Cassava, Kappa, Kollikizhangu, Maracheeni, and so on.

Certain recipes, soulful and comforting, are ingrained in our memories and taste buds and are our favorites no matter what time of day. Whether for lunch or dinner, kappa biryani is a favorite dish at home that gets praised by all. Similar to biryani, it's a full dinner that's perfect for gatherings and special events. The combination of spice-coated beef and kappa creates a wonderful symphony of flavors and a seductive scent that makes kappa biryani extremely tempting.

Kappa Biriyani can also be served with mutton and chicken, but I prefer the beef combo. Beef ribs are ideal for this preparation, but because I couldn't find them, I got beef with joint bones. This Kerala Kappa Biryani dish is unique, as it has carefully picked spices and is prepared in a particular method. Beef is marinated in herbs and spices before being blended with mashed tapioca, roasted coconut, and spices, which adds to its enticement.

12. Indian pork curry 

Panni Ularthiyathu is a famous meal in Kerala, with origins likely reaching back to the Portuguese who invaded the subcontinent in the late 15th century. The Portuguese brought Christianity, chile peppers, and a large number of pigs. Take the last two and you'll be on your way to Ularthiyathu. Panni Ularthiyathu means sauteed pork, however, it is a dry curry. In other words, unlike certain curries, in which the protein is submerged in a flavored broth, this curry contains little to no liquid. Ularthiyathu is popular among Keralan Christians, who offer it during the Christmas season.

Indian pork curry. This delicious curry is composed of pork and aromatic spices. It's nutritious, simple to prepare, and full of classic tastes. A perfect side dish for a cozy dinner!

You might have the best curry recipe: a mouthwatering combination of your favorite protein, spices, and herbs that will convert your dinner into something incredibly delectable. But believe me, you can improve it even more with this foolproof Indian pork curry recipe.

13. Kerala traditional meal (sadya)

Sadya (Malayalam: സദ്യ) is a traditional vegetarian meal from Kerala that is served on a banana leaf during lunch. Sadya means banquet in Malayalam. Sadya is often offered as a traditional feast during Onam, Kerala's state festival, and Vishu. A traditional Sadya can have 24–28 dishes presented as a single course. In larger circumstances, it may contain 64 or more pieces, such as the Sadya for the Aranmula Boat race (Valla Sadya). During the traditional Sadya festival, individuals sit cross-legged on mats. Food is consumed with the right hand and without spoons. The fingers are cupped into a ladle. The main dish is plain boiled rice, served along with other curries, Koottaan (കൂട്ടാന്‍), which include curries like parippu, sambar, rasam, pulisseri, and others like kaalan, avial, thoran, olan, pachadi, kichadi, koottukari, erissery, mango pickle, injipuli, mezhukkupuratti, naranga achaar (lime pickle). Buttermilk is often offered towards the end of the meal. Payasam, a traditional dessert offered at the end of the dinner, comes in a variety of flavors and is usually served in groups of three or more. Some of the variants include Paal Ada Pradhaman, Ada Pradhaman, Parippu Pradhaman, Chakka Pradhaman, Gothampu Payasam, and Paal Payasam. The various 'Koottan' are created with various veggies and seasonings. The variety of curries symbolizes affluence and well-being. The foods are offered in various locations on the banana leaf. For example, the pickles are presented in the upper left corner and the banana in the lower left corner, allowing servers to readily recognize and determine whether to deliver more servings. The most prevalent components in all of the recipes are vegetables, coconut, and coconut oil, which are abundant in Kerala. Coconut milk is utilized in various cuisines, whereas coconut oil is used for frying. The menu varies depending on location. Although it is customary to employ traditional and seasonal vegetables indigenous to Kerala or India's Southwest Coast, vegetables such as carrots, pineapples, and beans are now commonly used in meals. According to tradition, onion and garlic are rarely used in sadya. Traditionally, the meal is followed by the biting of vettila murukku, or betel leaf, with lime and areca nuts. This promotes digestion and purifies the palate. The sadya may have inspired the kamayan in Filipino cuisine, with significant modifications.

 Conclusion 

Not only that, but Kerala has a wide variety of traditional foods that are cherished both domestically and abroad. The authentic flavors of eating banana leaves are an experience in itself. Keralan food is more than just dishes to its fans; it's more of a "feeling."Almost all dishes of Kerala have coconut in them which is considered to be their benchmark ingredient. Keralan cuisine is more authentic and has richer flavors because of the usage of traditional ingredients like earthen pots.

Take the time to sample these well-known Keralan cuisines. When you revisit this stunning state, make sure to do something unique. This state has everything, from delicious food to captivating tourist attractions. if anyone wants to explore these foods exclusively

The Ultimate Guide to Buying the Best Kona Coffee Beans: Quality, Flavor, and More

If you're a coffee enthusiast, you've likely heard of Kona coffee beans from Hawaii. Renowned for their exquisite taste and exceptional quality, Kona coffee beans are a favorite among coffee connoisseurs worldwide. But what sets them apart? In this ultimate guide, we'll delve into the unique characteristics of Kona coffee beans, explore their flavor profiles, and provide insights on buying the best Kona coffee beans, including 100% Kona coffee, Kona organic coffee, and offerings from top Hawaiian Coffee Companies.

Understanding Kona Coffee: What Makes it Special

Kona coffee is grown in the Kona district of Hawaii's Big Island, where the combination of ideal climate, volcanic soil, and elevations ranging from 500 to 2,500 feet create optimal conditions for coffee cultivation. The unique terroir of Kona results in a flavor profile that is highly prized among coffee aficionados. Kona coffee is known for its smooth, rich, and complex taste, with notes of chocolate, caramel, and tropical fruit.

Kona coffee is classified into different grades based on bean size and quality. The highest grade is "Kona Extra Fancy," followed by "Kona Fancy," "Kona Number 1," and "Kona Select." These grades are determined by the size, shape, and defects of the beans, with the larger and more perfectly shaped beans commanding higher prices due to their superior flavor and aroma.

Evaluating Quality: Factors to Consider When Buying Kona Coffee Beans

When buying Kona coffee beans, it's essential to consider factors that determine their quality. Look for beans that are plump, evenly sized, and free from defects such as chips, cracks, or insect damage. Opt for beans with a moisture content of around 10% for the best flavor and aroma. Another crucial aspect of quality is the processing method. Kona coffee beans are typically processed using either the wet method or the dry method. The wet method involves removing the outer pulp of the coffee cherry before drying the beans, resulting in a cleaner and brighter flavor profile. The dry method, on the other hand, involves drying the whole cherry, which imparts a more intense and complex flavor to the beans.

Exploring Organic and Specialty Kona Coffee Beans

For those who prefer organic coffee, Kona offers an excellent option with its organic coffee beans. Kona organic coffee is grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides, resulting in a more environmentally-friendly and sustainable coffee option. Organic Kona coffee beans are typically certified by reputable organizations such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) or the International Organic Accreditation Service (IOAS).

In addition to organic options, Kona coffee also offers specialty coffee beans, such as Peaberry and Extra Fancy. Peaberry beans are small, round beans that occur when only one seed develops inside the coffee cherry, resulting in a denser and more flavorful bean. Extra Fancy beans, on the other hand, are the largest and most premium beans, prized for their superior quality and taste.

Where to Buy Authentic Kona Coffee Beans

When it comes to buying authentic Kona coffee beans, it's crucial to source from reputable sellers to ensure you're getting genuine Kona coffee. Look for labels that clearly state "100% Kona" to ensure you're getting pure Kona coffee beans. You can purchase Kona coffee beans from local Hawaii coffee farms, online retailers, or specialty stores that source directly from Kona coffee farmers.

One popular option is to purchase from a reputable Hawaiian Coffee Company that is known for their high-quality Kona coffee beans. One such company is Social Brew, a trusted name in the coffee industry. Social Brew offers a wide selection of authentic Kona coffee beans, including 100 Kona coffee, Kona organic coffee, Peaberry beans, and Extra Fancy beans. With a commitment to sustainability and fair trade practices, Social Brew ensures that their Kona coffee beans are ethically sourced and of the highest quality.

Unveiling Artistry: Exploring the World of Coffee Bean Roaster and Exquisite Blends

A coffee bean roaster is crucial because roasting involves precisely heating coffee beans to bring out their distinct qualities, which ultimately determines the final flavour and aroma of the coffee. Different roast profiles, including light, medium, and dark roasts, are produced during the roasting process. Prominent roasters can provide corporations and commercial organisations with the ideal coffee mix, and bulk purchases result in the greatest costs. Whether you're looking for a dark roast blend or a powerful, robust espresso blend, top coffee makers offer a variety of carefully created mixtures of different coffee bean kinds to suit a wide range of palates.

Coffee is a beloved beverage all over the world for its complex flavour profile and one can buy coffee beans near me by searching online and buying from the best retailers. Depending on how much caffeine is in it, many varieties of coffee blends exist. Due to their flavour and the fact that most of the caffeine has been eliminated, decaf coffee beans are quite popular. Since the beginning of time, coffee has been widely consumed and has cultural importance in many different countries. Although the coffee plant's roasted seeds are the source of all coffee, several blends are created by varying the caffeine level through additional procedures.

Let's Take a Look at Top Coffee Roasters and What They Have to Offer:

Coffee Gear: Top roasters not only provide coffee blends, but also items like milk jugs, reusable cups, airtight containers, and coffee dosage cups. The top firms provide excellent quality items, so customers can trust them and also get fantastic savings through the best offers.

Single Origin Coffee: Single Origin coffee comes from a single farm or a particular region, thus its flavours and attributes are exclusive to that location. Coffee lovers may experiment with varied flavours with single-origin coffees. Every single-origin coffee offers a pleasant sensory experience, ranging from the rich, chocolatey tones of Colombian beans like Colombian Lulo to the fruity and flowery notes of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe.

Excellent quality is required for coffee used in cafes, restaurants, or other hospitality establishments to serve patrons. Get a wholesale supply of coffee for your company by getting in contact with the top coffee roasters.

Discussion about the Oliva Serie V 135th Anniversary

Join me to learn a little about the highly rated Oliva Serie V, a one-hundred-thirty-fifth-anniversary limited edition cigar. I'm here with my friend Andrew, who is an expert on cigars.

Hey Andrew, I've always been curious about the backstory of Oliva Cigars. What's their history?

Well, Abby, it's quite a tale of perseverance and passion for tobacco. The Oliva story began in the late 19th century with Melanio Oliva, who first planted tobacco seeds in Pinar del Río, Cuba, in 1886. 

His family cultivated tobacco for generations, but after the Cuban Revolution, things took a dramatic turn. Gilberto Oliva, Melanio's grandson, found himself in a new world order that was not kind to private enterprise. 

He left Cuba, wandered across Spain, and eventually settled in Nicaragua. There, amidst the fertile lands, he rekindled the family's legacy, growing tobacco that would soon be recognized for its exceptional quality. 

The Oliva Cigar Company, as we know it today, was officially established in 1995 and has since become a prominent name in the cigar industry, known for their dedication to craftsmanship and the rich flavors of their blends.

That's fascinating! And what about this cigar we're about to enjoy, the Oliva Serie V 135th Anniversary Limited Edition Perfecto?

Ah, this cigar is a true homage to the Oliva family's enduring legacy. Released to celebrate the 135th anniversary of Melanio's first harvest, this limited edition perfecto is a nod to the family's Cuban roots and their journey through the world of tobacco. It's crafted with meticulous attention to detail, embodying the spirit of the Oliva brand—a symbol of their journey from the past to the present, and their commitment to quality that has been passed down through the generations.

Interesting! Can you tell me more about its construction? Where do the wrapper, binder, and filler come from?

Of course! This cigar is a testament to the art of cigar making. The wrapper is an Ecuadorian Habano Sun-Grown leaf, which is known for its rich color and robust flavor profile. It encases a blend of Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, carefully selected from the Oliva family's own fields. The Nicaraguan tobaccos are renowned for their full-bodied character and complex notes, providing a strong foundation for this exquisite cigar. The perfecto shape itself is a work of art, tapering elegantly at both ends, which requires the hands of the most skilled torcedores (cigar rollers) to create.

Now, what flavors and aromas should I be looking out for as I smoke it?

Prepare your palate for a symphony of flavors. In the first third, you'll be greeted with a rich tapestry of cocoa and earthy undertones, complemented by a subtle cedar zest. It's like walking through a forest after a rain, with the scent of wet earth and wood surrounding you. Transitioning into the second third, the profile evolves, introducing a bouquet of floral notes that dance on the tongue, intertwined with a nutty essence and a playful white pepper spice that tingles the senses. As you reach the final act, the cigar crescendos into a bold fusion of dark chocolate and leather, with a nutty core. A delightful maple sweetness lingers on the retro hale, a sweet whisper of the cigar's complexity.

That sounds delicious! Lastly, what drinks would you recommend pairing with this cigar? Maybe two alcoholic and one non-alcoholic option?

Pairing drinks with such a fine cigar is all about harmony and contrast. For an alcoholic companion, a Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Year Old Scotch is a superb choice. Its rich sherry-infused oakiness and dried fruit notes will complement the deep, earthy flavors of the cigar, creating a luxurious experience. Alternatively, Bumbu The Original Rum, with its alluring sweetness and hints of spice, can offer a delightful counterpoint to the cigar's robust profile, enhancing the overall tasting journey. For a non-alcoholic option, a robust black coffee or a shot of espresso would be ideal. The coffee's natural bitterness and aromatic qualities will elevate the cigar's inherent coffee and spice notes without overshadowing its intricate flavors. Each sip and puff is a step further into a world of refined taste and relaxation.

Thanks, Andrew! You really know your stuff. Let’s fire these up, put some smoke in the air and enjoy this nice ambiance.
