Earlier this year we introduced you all to a new line of cigars from Nicaragua called the K by Karen Berger. The cigars were very well received and have become a loved addition to our humidor. We have just received another one of Karen’s cigars, the Karen Berger Ixtelli. This cigar was picked as #1 Best Boutique Brand Nicaragua at the 2026 Intertabac show. It is a 6×52 Toro that is a puro-Nicaraguan honouring the roots & indigenous blends of Esteli, Nicaragua (the home of Karen Berger Cigars). It has a medium-body and some delectable notes of dry hay, cashew-creaminess, banana-sweetness, & white pepper.
For the pipe smokers out there, there are only a few more days until Santa’s Smoke 2026 comes out. We have a feeling that the blend this year should be one of our most popular versions!
Smoke and enjoy.

It can be a little torturous sometimes when an order containing new pipes arrives in store, and that was especially the case when the Peterson Halloween 2026 pipes arrived. This year’s pipe has a black rusticated bowl along with a black military-mount stem and an acrylic band done in the style of the Dracula (black and red swirled acrylic). Aaron thinks that these are some of the best looking Halloween pipes yet, so you should get one while you can.
The newly arrived El Septimo Emperor Collection Empress Sheba is our first Costa Rican cigar in the humidor in a few decades. This bigger 6×60 Gordo is medium-full bodied and has nice dry notes of white pepper spice and earthiness. It is a fitting testament to the enduring legacy of Queen Sheba.

Why not get into the holiday spirit a little early by smoking a bowl or two of Longboat. This burley-cavendish blend is smooth, slightly sweet, and you will notice a subtle infusion of Scotch Whiskey. Cheers!
You don’t have to break the bank to enjoy a hand-rolled cigar from the Dominican Republic. The CDG (Casa de Garcia) Maduro resides in our “value-door” well in the price range of the majority of cigar lovers. You will detect notes of creamy chocolate, cedar, and cocoa. We have the beefy Churchill size in stock, and if this cigar is too large for you, you could try the CDG Connecticut robusto which has a slightly different flavour profile. It is still mild-medium in strength but has a slightly nutty taste.

Happy November folks!
The Crowned Heads Moose Kick 2026 is here! This limited edition cigar (only 5600 cigars were made) is exclusive to the Canadian market and features a Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper over a core of Nicaraguan binder & fillers. It is the third year for this annual L.E., but it does have some differences to previous years with the blend being further refined & the size being beefed up to a 4 7/8×56 Topes. Each cigar comes fitted with a classic Moose Kick band that now has a shiny blue “Limited Edition” label along the bottom. Now for the kicker! Within the 5600 cigars produced, 10 of them have been fitted with a special band that has the “Limited Edition” in gold instead of blue! This is your winning ticket for an amazing sampler pack of Moose Kick cigars in a very attractive little box! If you happen to purchase one of these extra-special cigars, please make sure to retain the band and bring it to the store so we can start the prize claim process for you. The hunt for the Golden Ticket is on!
We have had some requests for a pipe tobacco blend called Buccaneer and it is now available. This is a mix of Burley, Virginia, & Cavendish that is on the milder side with a hint of gentle sweetness along with notes of rum. It is currently being featured until Santa’s Smoke 2026 releases on November 15th!
