For cigar smokers we have a few treats! We just put out a box of Bolivar Royal Coronas from 2020. This nicely aged Cuban robusto will indeed be a treat for lovers of well-aged Cuban cigars.
Also, later in the month we will be putting out the K by Karen Berger 25th Anniversary by A. J. Fernandez. This is a fuller bodied Toro-sized cigar (6×52) with lots of flavour thanks to notes of earth, baking spices, black pepper, & espresso.
It’s that time of year again! The elves have been busy at work, and on November 15th we will be putting out Santa’s Smoke 2025. It it is always a big hit, so get it while you can!
Smoke and Enjoy!

Aaron was ecstatic to hear that the IM Corona lighters would finally be available for purchase again in Canada! These are some extremely well made Japanese lighters that are built to last and are very reliable. Plus, each of the lighters comes with an built-in pipe tool making it convenient for use on the road.
2025 is flying by and before you know it, gift giving season will be upon us. If you have a cigar smoker on your list, but you don’t know what to get them, consider one of our Cigar of the Month packages as a suitable option. These are curated on a monthly basis and are geared towards the novice cigar smoker (the Student package) and the connoisseur (the Professor package).
Stephen
While Stephen is quite pleased with his book “The Other Side of Morning” (you can still purchase copies in the store), it is not the short story he often desires in a cigar like one of his favourite, the Arturo Fuente Hemmingway Short Story. This is a medium-body cigar that features a Cameroon wrapper and is a flavour and action-packed smoke that is sure to please the senses.
Stephen also enjoys kicking back and day-dreaming with a bowl of Bree Bramble. Delightful notes of blackberries whirl around, whisking him away to an idealistic locale like the Shire.

Oh my goodness, it’s November already?!?!?
With the shorter & cooler days upon us, you may find you prefer something more than a cigarillo, but not something that takes as long as a full sized cigar. We have several new options that could work well for you. The Frontwoods R is a rustic cheroot that uses mild Dominican tobaccos, giving it a nice hint of sweetness. We also have the recently returned Villiger Classic & Villiger Brazil. These are both box-pressed cheroots that are made in Switzerland. The Classic uses a Sumatra wrapper that helps make it smooth, creamy, & mild. The Brazil uses a Mata Fina wrapper, giving it some notes of earth & peppery spice.

As the days grow crisp, cigar needs tend to favour smaller formats. With this in mind I would like to recommend a plucky little number this November, namely the Project X Little X. These cigars fuse San Andreas tobacco with smokey Latakia to create a scintillating short form experience. Burlington proudly collaborated with Casa Turrent to dream up this one of a kind treat and it has been a stalwart hit for numerous years.
Richer blends tend to help bolster one’s spirits as the cooler winds start to come. Why not give Heavy Crude a whirl? Half comprised of cigar leaf and augmented with brandy this blend is definitely not shy, but it is the kind of dense puff that aids when switching gears into the deep weather to come.
