Hey, Monkava'd, the Stone really did put me to sleep last night, around 8pm that is. But the wife and I have been getting up at 4am and working most days lately, so not really much of a surprise that I fell asleep that early. Stone is definitely hands down my favorite kava so far. And not because it's strong, but because it's very heady/euphoric, the quality is connoisseur grade stuff. If there is any better kava than this, I want it now. I want to try Wow, but for the price, I don't want to waste my money if it's not as good as Stone.
