Now is the time to relax and treat ourselves a little. For cigar lovers we have a few very exquisite vitolas from Arturo Fuente: the Don Carlos Robusto and/or Don Carlos The Man’s 80th Eye of the Shark. Both are excellent examples of Fuente art & expertise in cigar making.
For pipe smokers, we will be re-featuring some of our old stand-by blends which we have had to reformulate due to the mess created by STG closing the major pipe tobacco manufacturer. We have worked diligently with our distributors to keep them as close as possible to the original blends. Please give them a try, as we would love to hear your honest feedback.
Smoke and Enjoy!

Happy New Year everybody!
With the holiday season past us, many of us are still dealing with containers of rich holiday treats. Some of the offerings from MacBaren, like the Dark Twist or the HH Bold Kentucky, offer rich natural tobacco notes along with the power of Kentucky fire-cured tobaccos that pair quite nicely with the sweeter offerings of the season.
The Brigham 2025 Pipe of the Year has become a treasured piece in Aaron’s collection. This year’s version celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Beaver’s official recognition as a National Symbol of Canada. The pipe fits in the hand comfortably and comes with a hand-crafted pewter tamper. These pipes sell quite quickly and we only have a couple left, so Aaron suggests you jump on these while you can.

When January comes around, Stephen often feels like he should be elsewhere, someplace warmer and maybe exotic. Madagascar, a fine Burlington pipe blend, is just what the doctor ordered. The rich, caramel-like notes of this Cavendish concoction can transport him ethereally to a warmer, more exotic clime.
To celebrate the New Year Stephen lit up a Davidoff Yamasa cigar. This exceptionally tasty robusto is somewhat more robust than other Davidoffs, and is a Dominican you will be pleased you tried.
Stephen would like to wish everyone a very happy New Year!

Happy New Year friends!
At this time of year, I tend to enjoy tobacco that evokes warm & cozy vibes. For a shorter duration cigar, I recommend the Burlington Project X Little X. This box-pressed half-corona has rich & deep San Andres Maduro tobaccos combined with a smoke-cured note. This provides hints of cocoa, coffee, & a nice smoky spice. This is a flavourful, satisfying, & exceptionally well-priced cigar indeed.
For the RYO fans, Banda Sea is a delicious house blend to try. Quality Virginia tobacco are married with sweet & aromatic cloves, giving it a warming aroma that satisfies.
Wishing you all a wonderful 2026!

Come out swinging this New Year with the Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich! This is a medium bodied Nicaraguan with one heck of a left hook. Perfect for punching away those January doldrums.
Your pipe will get a treat if you fill it with the newly reformatted Heart of G. Mellow richness with a subtle sweetness that’s as good as gold.
We also have a sublime selection of Nording pipes in stock, just in case old Saint Nick got a little forgetful this year. Top quality Danish pipe-making is a splendid antidote for the growing drifts outside.
