Except, of course, that Jones and I are at least both professors.

I found some that were okay, but not great, but through the magic of Amazon recommendations I tried this stuff and I’m really happy with it: Nice and strong, not too bitter, good, rounded flavor. Just in case you’ve been looking too.
