>>>>>[The name Cullen seemed vaguely familiar, so I poked about and came
up with this (for whatever it's worth). There was a certain Kenyan
coffee that, back in the twenties, became very popular, particularly
among hermetics and my Spock-eared bretheren. It was made illegal on
this continent because of some heavy duty alkaloids that were blended in
for 'flavoring,' however some corps, in order to keep their wiz-kids
happy would tend overlook such trade restrictions. We made regular
shipments of this stuff to a certain research kiosk at Aztechnology. But
then one day our standing PO was cancelled. A few weeks later we were
asked to start shipments to a town in Mongolia (and have continued doing
so ever since). About this time we also started supplying a place
called Amberlite with the stuff. Amberlite is a small holding company
in Frisco that specializes in transfer of 'rare & occult paraphenalia.'
They also get into a lot of trouble with CFS customs over international
shipping of rare and spooky stuff. I chased down my other buyers for
the 'floral cafe,' but nothing else seems even remotely relevent. I
supppose that it could be a herring, but then, who knows? Happy hunting
chumskis! ]<<<<<
