We are very excited to bring in, after an absence of many years, the 4th Generation pipe tobaccos from Stokkebye! Fittingly, the 4 blends are the 1855, 1931, 1957, 1982. These tobaccos cost a bit more and from their reception so far, are worth every penny. You can purchase them by the ounce or in 50 gram tins.

Also we have brought in some new vitolas from LFD to complement our existing stock. We are currently featuring two of these in our “dealador”; the LFD Cameroon Cabinet Chisel and the the LFD Colorado Oscuro #2. These cigars are both medium-bodied with the Cameroon having a bit more spice in the flavour (besides being in the chisel-shape LFD is well known for).

Smoke and Enjoy!

Easter is almost here and along with it comes loads of chocolate. If you prefer to smoke your chocolate instead of eating it, try a bowl of Aspen Stroll. This blends combination of mint & chocolate is a match made in heaven and should be sure to satisfy your sweet tooth without giving you any extra calories.

Before we know it, gardening season will soon be upon us. While you get your plot all prepared, try out one of the Rustico cigars by Karen Berger. These are made in the Cuban-sandwich style and are very budget-friendly yet excellent quality cigars. They come as a Connecticut, Maduro, or Habano variety in a couple of sizes and are great for enjoying while you work away in the dirt.

Nirvana is a burley-cavendish blend that has enjoyed a long-standing place of pride on our wall of pipe tobaccos; and with good reason. The blend is approachable to new pipe enthusiasts and a reliable standard for veterans. Should you give Nirvana a test drive, you will undoubtedly pick up some subtle hints of fruit and spice.

In terms of cigars Stephen would like to recommend a couple of Camacho cigars. The Camacho line of cigars was purchased by Davidoff in 2008 and cigar-lovers know what that means in terms of quality and taste. The Camacho Corojo Robusto is a medium+ body robusto that is known for its signature spicy, earthy, and leathery profile using authentic Corojo leaf while the Camacho Connecticut Robusto or Toro is a “milder-mannered” option that still provides a bold, rich, and slightly spicy smoke. It’s hard to dismiss either one of these satisfying cigars.

Happy April friends!

The temperature outdoors and the length of our daylight hours are trending upwards. Celebrate these wonderful conditions with a bowl of 4th Generation 1855. This Virginia ready rubbed blend has a mild and smooth natural flavour with hints of honey & vanilla. While you pick up your favourite tobaccos, also check out the selection of our beautiful 4th Generation pipes that are also currently on sale!

For a full-bodied and flavourful cigar in a smaller format, try our a Rustico Maduro Junior by Karen Berger. This 4×38 half-corona is medium in strength and has a bold flavour profile with notes of coffee, dried fruit, & hints of spice. They are also very friendly on your pocketbook.

This April reach for a new experience from a trusted source. Ferio Tego is a redirection, a rebirth and a rediscovery from industry veterans on a new path. These cigars are built with passion and the notes are as varied as an orchestral performance. With three lines in a few sizes to choose from, there is certain to be a smoke that resonates at your frequency.

We had a delightful visit from a font of wisdom in the form of the legendary Erik Stokkebye. Those in attendance were able to hear the knowledge and experience that go into the 4th Generation line. A truly inspiring day of tobacco philosophy. We still have pipes to ogle and four select blends to explore (1855, 1931, 1957, 1982). Come in and find your next adventure.
