As spring seems to have arrived we will all, hopefully, be getting out and about more. If you want to take your pipe for a stroll, maybe in the river valley, try a bowl of Aspen Stroll – named for just such an activity.
For a shorter cigar smoke, try the Toscanello, a much-underappreciated gem from Italy which has become a staff favorite. Ask about our monthly Presto Fumo Italia conclave and the chance to win a Toscano humidor
For a bigger cigar, try any of the Matilde cigars, a wonderful family of Dominican cigars that range from mild (Serena) to medium (Renacer). Very approachable.
Smoke and Enjoy!

Spring is finally upon us and it is the perfect season to start enjoying a nice cigar outside. The Don Pozo Connecticut (available in a Robusto, Toro, & Gordo) is a mild and creamy cigar that is both flavourful & smooth. These are a great cigar for those wanting to try their first and are also quite reasonably priced for the Canadian market.
April also marks Aaron’s birthday. When he smokes a bowl of tobacco around his darling wife, he finds that she most enjoys the aroma of a blend like the MacBaren Vanilla Cream. This is a rich & creamy blend that is very consistent from start to finish.

With all the chocolate consumed at Easter, Stephen is recommending cleansing your palette with some vanilla tobacco. Thrilla in Manila, the boxing reference most of you are familiar with, is just the right vanilla-forward aromatic pipe tobacco to put into your pipe this April.
In this shoulder season between winter and summer, Stephen likes to have smaller format cigars on hand. He is recommending CAO MXTwo Daggers. These are a medium-bodied Honduran cigars that can be purchased singly or in packs of 5. Light one up and enjoy!
Enjoy!

Happy April friends!
For those looking to add a new pipe to their collection, now is a great time to check out our selection. We have some of the lovely pipes made by the Lorenzetti people that are currently 20% off. We also have a restock of our Meerschaum pipes.
For our Roll-Your-Own customers, you should really try some Kingston. This house blend is smooth with a slight richness of body while not being too strong. The aroma is quite pleasant and the hint of herbal spice will be sure to please.
For a super flavourful small cigar, give one of our Little X cigars a try. With its’ San Andres maduro tobacco along with a smoky/peaty note, this little number packs a punch of rich & satisfying smoke.

As the weather grows warm and the open road beckons, you may desire something a little more substantial to get your motor running. I suggest the CAO Flathead Big Block. This 7×70 powerhouse is a honkin’ unit. Rich, and full throttle (with a hint of diesel) it will keep you out of trouble for an extended session.
A brand new Meerschaum Pipe might also fit the bill for this burgeoning season. These exquisite Turkish pieces acquire more character the longer you employ them. From pristine white to a deep amber as the bowl’s smoking experience grows.
What on earth could possibly be more fitting in a pipe this pure than a little dichotomy? Heavy Crude pipe tobacco will crank up your torque quotient by numerous notches. Brandy soaked and loaded with cigar leaf this one certainly ain’t subtle. Gird your loins tobacco enthusiasts, Spring is coming in HOT!
