For cigar smokers who enjoy a nice one on the deck, we have a few more weeks of weather that allow the enjoyment of a larger cigar. A few to try would be the La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull, the Ashton VSG Sorcerer, and the E.P.C. La Historia E-III. All three are Dominican cigars in the medium strength and with a fuller body. They’re great smokes!
For pipe smokers, we have recently picked up a nice batch of mid-range estate pipes which could make a nice addition to any collection. If you pick one up, make sure to try a bowl of Aspen Stroll – perfect for a Fall walk.
Smoke and Enjoy!

If you’re in the mood for a shorter but quality smoke, try out one of the Villiger cigars. Available in either the milder Classic or medium-body Brazil blends, these extreme box-pressed cheroots possess some great flavour and worth adding to any cigar smoker’s humidor.
Not only does Aaron enjoy smoking his pipe, but he also enjoys showing off some of his collection on a nice pipe stand. We have a selection of different styles that will hold anywhere from 1 to 10 pipes, including one that is a pipe ashtray with 3 integral spots to store your pipes. There should be something within our selection for any pipe smoker.

It’s apple-picking time… and a great time to put some Orchard pipe tobacco in your favourite briar. Stephen loves this Cavendish house blend that is redolent with notes of apple and hints of whiskey.
Orchard would be perfect to put in a new Peterson pipe, preferably one with a big bowl and a slight (or even severe) bend. Burlington’s has a good selection of Peterson’s in stock. BTW, Stephen is headed to Ireland later this month and will almost certainly make a pilgrimage to the Peterson operation. Should be a blast!

I hope this September finds you all well and good!
With only a few weeks of the summer season left before Autumn befalls us, savour the last of the warm weather with a La Galera Rough Rider Maduro Robusto. This Dominican-made cigar uses a San Andres wrapper & binder along with fillers using aged Dominican Piloto Cubano & Crillo ’98. With a slightly sweetened tip and notes of dark cocoa & baking spices, this is a great late summer treat!

It’s September already which means it’s almost time to reap what you’ve sewn this summer season. One nice addition to your harvest basket might be the CAO Surplus. Made with the same premium tobacco we expect from CAO but reimagined as a budget friendly experience. If you want a good smoke without a huge price tag check them out. Available in a Robusto or Toro, both in a Shade or Maduro blend.
Don’t overlook something or someone simply because they’re vintage. We have a whole bunch of freshly refurbished Estate Pipes just waiting to find love again. There are some truly unique pieces, some astonishing quality pipes at great value and certainly a selection that will pique the interest of most pipe enthusiasts. It’s a delight to see them returned to their former glory! Plus the break in is already done for you. Give them a gander.
