My favorite type of pipe tobaccos in the winter months are English blends. Latakia adds such a full & warm note to a blend. So try our Lapis Lazuli , October Twilight, or Balkan I to give you a nice warm glow. They also go great with a single malt.
A heads up to all of you who have been enjoying the Casa Turrent Limited Edition Sui Generis. We are down to our last few bundles, so come get them while you can. For those of you who haven’t tried this cigar, it is a favorite of all of us here, so try one before they are all gone.
Smoke and Enjoy!

Aaron has a few things he hopes to find in his stocking this coming Christmas.
First of all would be a tin of Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings. Inspired by the first widely popular Christmas carol written in the US in 1857, it uses a blend of rich Black Cavendish along with equal measures of Red & Bright Virginias along with some specially sourced Katerini Turkish leaf. It has notes of allspice, cinnamon, & vanilla along with the aroma of freshly baked holiday cookies.
He would also love to get a few nice cigars like the La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull and one of his favourite Cuban cigars, the Por Larranga Picadores. Both of these cigars are ones that he has immensely enjoyed in the past and will forever be a part of his humidor.

Stephen can’t think of a better time of year than this festive season for adding a pipe to your collection. At Burlington we have a spectacular collection of pipes most of which you can see on our website. Besides the obvious Chacom Noel pipes and the last Savinelli St. Nicholas pipe, there is a plethora of other pipes that might suit your fancy. Perhaps a stunning Peterson or playful Brigham might speak to you. Come down and have a look or browse the photos on our site.
You’ll also need some pipe tobacco of course. Along with some of our annual edition of Santa Smoke, you might want to try one of my personal winter favorites, “Fireside”. This predominantly Cavendish blend is indeed as comforting as it sounds with subtle raspberry & notes.

Happy December friends!
It’s that time of year when cozy comforts are so beneficial for the soul. Having a pipe tobacco of impeccable quality, taste, and especially aroma is one such comfort. I recommend our annual Limited Edition Santa’s Smoke 2025. This year’s blend is redolent of ripe & sweet raspberries with a rich body and a hint of Christmas spice.
If you want to treat yourself to a beautiful new pipe, we have many wonderful options from Brigham like the very reasonably priced Brigham Pipe Kit tins and the stunning Brigham Pipe of the Year 2025. This is a very limited run of only 120 pipes and celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Beaver’s official recognition as a National Symbol of Canada. The pipe itself is a stunning piece and comes in a really sleek collectors box along with a pewter pipe tool and a 1975 Canadian nickel. This would truly be a beautiful gift.
May the end of this year find you happy and healthy!!

It’s almost time when the fellow with the festive hat scurries down some chimneys laden with holiday gifts! Give yourself a present and get your own festive headwear with the Crowned Heads deal. If you buy 4 Crowned Heads cigars (2 Las Calaveras + 2 Your Choice) you will land yourself a sweet Crowned Heads Hat emblazoned with a mighty and majestic moose…sounds like wintertime in the great white north to me!
Don’t forget to leave some Santa’s Smoke out for St. Nick to get a relaxing bowlful, but don’t forget to load up your own stocking! There’s plenty of options for your Yuletide list from humidors, to lighters and cutters, to pipes and pipe sets – the Chacom Noël and very limited Brigham Pipe of the Year 2025 “Beaver” spring to mind – not to mention all the tobacco you could dream of! If you made the nice list have no fear, otherwise maybe it’s a good idea to hedge your bets. Try an ounce of Eau Claire to satisfy your taste for a chocolatey treat without the calories. All the best to you and yours this season! See you in the store!
