We have a few new cigars worth trying. There is a special limited release from Matilde called the Para José Seijas. This is dedicated to the founding patriarch who passed away late last year. This Toro sized cigar (6 x 52) is a core of Dominican fillers and binder finished with an Ecuadorian wrapper.
By October 7th, we should also have 5 different cigars in 3 different blends (Cameroon, Habano, & Maduro) from Karen Berger. These are definitely worth a try if you are a fan of Dominican cigars. The Habano does have some very interesting Cuban cigar notes to it.
For pipe smokers, we have opened up 3 of our tin selection so you can try a smaller amount before committing to a full tin; Solani Aged Burley Flake, C&D Pirate Kake, and the Legend Series Heritage Blend. The latter 2 are both English-style blends which I always enjoy more during cooler weather. The Heritage Blend is one of my favorites and is very reminiscent of the not-available-in-Canada Dunhill My Mixture 965.
Smoke and Enjoy!

With the news coming out that Eric Nording is retiring and the company is closing down, you should really come and check out one of the last few Nording pipes we have left in the store. While our selection has been quite picked over, there are still some beauties you can find like the Nording Double Silver. Don’t delay on getting one of these gems while they are still available.
We have been extremely lucky with how warm September was & allowing us to have a lot more cigar smoking weather than we expected. While things are slowly starting to cool down , there still is plenty of time left to enjoy something like one of Aaron’s fall-favourites in the Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robustos. These half-robusto sized cigars are medium-plus in body and have all the classic flavours you come to expect from a Hoyo. They are especially good for a nice stroll through nature while you enjoy the fall smells and colours.

Ironically Dark Cross, while being a full-bodied pipe tobacco, is also light and cool with a mild sweetness. This comes from the “twist of liquorice” Stephen says you’ll notice when you fire up a bowl. Dark Cross is definitely an appropriate October blend.
It was a pleasant fall day in Boston, Massachusetts when Stephen first smoked and fell in love with the Drew Estate Liga Privada line of cigars. Stephen says you should do yourself a favour and try the Liga Privada Nine. This is a medium-plus bodied premium cigar that is highly satisfying. The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper encloses a variety of tobaccos that are redolent with notes of toffee, earthiness, and espresso.

For the roll-your-own baddies out there, treat yourself to one of our new cigarette rolling machines. Remarkably, these are made by the much-loved Elements brand at the world’s oldest cigarette-rolling- machine factory in Indonesia. Made to last with superior materials, it just might be the last one you ever buy.
In case you missed it, we recently added a new all-natural blend for rolling called Cypress Hills. Made for those looking for fuller body and taste, this is achieved using a blend of premium Virginia and precious spicy tobaccos. It is rich, smooth, and leaves one feeling satisfied.

This October forget the hum drum melody of everyday mediocrity and strive for more dazzling horizons with the Casa Magna Extaordinario. This complex and scintillating Nicaraguan Solomon will spark your imagination and take your taste-buds on a magic carpet ride into the realm of blending mastery. Casa Magna is one of the most consistently excellent brands in the business and their quiet pursuit of perfection makes them a hidden gem well worth seeking out.
This spooky little month may afford you one last chance to get “Into the Woods“. So stuff your rucksack, grab your most adventurous pipe and stock up on the stalwart Woodsman pipe tobacco. Nutty, earthy, and resplendent with outdoorsy flavour, this blend couldn’t be more at home in the majesty of nature. Perhaps it will provide you with the mettle to depart from the beaten path and discover what lurks in the deep dark places.
