Ethiopian coffee was awesome.

Nicaragua is my favourite thus far.

@scottalanmiller Super jealous! I wonder how much it'd cost to mail a pound of beans. Probably a lot more than it's worth

You've seen what a pound of "gourmet" beans go for on this continent... I'll take one if its under 30 bucks.
-
If you brought some back to the States when you return in Dec, I'd pay for it
-
@RojoLoco $40USD is like... a million canadian pesos lol
(ok, ~$50-55)

Probably not a lot. Lots of options here too. There were several in Panama while we were there too.

@smartkid808 sometimes hooks me up with "cost is the same in weight as gold" pure Kona beans which are AMAZING.

Not likely going to fit into the luggage. Shipping might be possible.
-
@Dashrender @RojoLoco @scottalanmiller If you ever feel like killing a day to run around buying beans and shipping stuff across the globe, let us know.

@scottalanmiller takes on second 'job' as Coffee exporter.
-
I'd love to run a small import/export business, even just for fun (as long as it isn't losing money.) Let me know what products people want from Central America. Maybe we can set something up

Cigars
-
I'm told that @davedemlow's favourite cigars anywhere come from an estate in northern Nicaragua. Not the first person to tell me that either. Apparently Nicaragua is up there with the Dominican Republic for the world's best cigars.

Cigars and premium cigarettes, coffee, national food stuffs.
Country packs - a taste of the land and people
-
It's interesting that in Nicaragua cigars rule the roost. A few hours away in Panama, it is a smoke free country!

So we totally found this at the corner "quick mart" yesterday after our day out in the city. This is the first issue of a new graphic novel series called "Free Nicaragua" and it is a comic book that tells the history of the founding of the country and is produced by one of the universities here. What an awesome idea and it is amazing that they just sell it at the corner store! I think that this is just the coolest. We hope to find a way to get the rest of them as they come out. These are the kind of comics that I'm into.
