February is a short month and normally a cold one, but that is no reason to not smoke a nice cigar. Try some of our smaller format cigars like the Azan Burgandy Petit Corona or the H. Upmann Half Corona. Both of these pack a lot of flavour in a small package and should satisfy the urge for any connoisseur.
Due to the extensive changes STG made in the tobacco industry, we have had to reformulate quite a number of our house blends. As a results, we are featuring three of these old standbys which we have had to reformulate and we think you will find the results indistinguishable from the originals. This month the three are Dark Cross, Aspen Stroll, and Heart of G. Take them for a walk around the block!

Having a nice leather pipe case in your arsenal can be a lifesaver. Most of these will hold not only your pipe(s) and some tobacco, but also things like pipe cleaners, filters, and/or a lighter/matches. They’re also quite handy if you are heading on a trip so that you can keep everything in one place. You should check out the many different options that we have in store.
Considering we are in February, it’s hard to believe that I.P.S.D. will soon be upon us. There are still a few spots left for our celebrations on the 21st, so sign up for one of these while you can. Aaron is also quite excited for March 28th when Erik Stokkebye will be visiting the store. Not only will there be the chance to check out some of his pipes and some of the 4th Generation tobaccos, but there will also be an opportunity to sit down with him to enjoy a bowl. Seating will be limited, so sign up for one of the 2 sessions we will be hosting.

Roanoke Island is a punchy Virginia pipe tobacco blend with a hint of perique. Stephen finds smoking a bowl of Roanoke is a fine way to boldly and spicely move into February.
February is the month of love and romance. Why not celebrate it with a classic Romeo y Julieta cigar. These Cuban beauties are typically on the milder end of the Cuban cigar spectrum and Burlington carries a full range of them. They also tend to be a little less expensive than most other Cuban vitolas.

Hi folks! I hope this month finds you well. 🙂
If you happen to enjoy a cigar with a little added flavour, the Principes are an excellent choice to try. Made with mild Dominican tobacco, they have flavours like R (Cherry), Caribbean (Rum), Cocoa (Chocolate), V (Vanilla), & B (Blueberry). These are all quite easy going and very reasonably priced for the Canadian market.
This February 20th, celebrate International Pipe Smoking Day with a bowl of Tolkien. This house blend is balanced and cool smoking with just a hint of earthiness. The flavour is wonderful and the room aroma is great to boot!

The year’s shortest month demands intensity and few cigars deliver it like the Camacho Triple Maduro. We have limited quantities back in stock of this Honduran powerhouse and I would suggest getting your hands on one sooner than later. If you need something that will stand up to your heartiest winter fare this cigar is for you. Not for the faint of heart, or those with an empty stomach.
February also holds a special place for pipe smokers as it allows us to celebrate International Pipe Smoking Day! Join us for the festivities (we will be celebrating on February 21st) where we be featuring all sorts of surprises. Treat yourself to a new pipe, enjoy a blend you’ve never tried or challenge all comers in our annual competition. Raise a bowl, and a glass to the world with a colourful cadre of comrades.
