Their shop is actually a bit overwhelming but they will make you a single cup out of any of their beans. If you find yourself in Portland definitely make it a stop! My personal favorite local coffee right now is Ristretto Roasters (http://www.ristrettoroasters.com/) their selection isn't as expansive but I like their style of roasting a little better. Walt,

The 3 varieties of Stumptown bean that I have tried so far has been great. I'm looking forward to sampling more bean in the future. Leems,

As far as pairings lately I've been drinking a local beer Double Mountain IRA with most of my cigars and it so far paired the best with a San Cristobal. Walt,

I'm usually an Irish whiskey or bourbon guy when I smoke. Slowly getting into scotch. San Cristobal and Pyrat XO Reserve rum is the best match I’ve found so far.

Also, I'm a sucker for a good Irish whisky with a smoke. They tend to be crisper, and pair well with mild to medium bodied cigars. Red breast, 12yr Bushmills, Tullamore Dew, and Jameson's are staples in my liquor cabinet.
