Seeing if any local would like to smoke a bowl together. And maybe do a tobacco taste swap.
I would like to meet some of you!

Hi rd02sir,
I live in Ottawa and would love to get together and talk shop. Who knows maybe we could get a club started. Send me a PM and let's get this going.
P.S. I work in Mtl, so I stop at Blatter and Blatter on a regular basis
PM sent!
West side of Ottawa here (Britannia Beach area)!
Come down to Cornwall and I'll buy you guys a drink.
I'm from Ottawa and a couple of friends and myself smoke.
Now, I'm living in Florence, Italy right now but that will change April 1. I've been trying to find a pipe club
Anyone maybe want to get together next weekend and smoke a bowl, drink a hot beverly?
I wouldn't be able to meet up any time soon, but great to see so many Ottawa guys here. I'm in Kanata...
no worries ghost, I'm in Nepean, 5-10min from Kanata.
I'd be interested in getting together and smoking a bowl and indulging in fantastic conversation
I'm at Riverside/Bank.
Welcome aboard hfearly! Lots of canuckleheads in the forum.
At this point I wish I was in Ottawa too! My cousin is there but I am in Toronto... I want to find some friends to smoke a bowl with too haha
Vinvin; Toronto supports a pipe-club - I'm sure they would be more than happy to smoke a bowl with you!
Sweet, more ppl from O-town!
Seems like the others are single posters, and haven't been online in quite some time.
We need to do this! Who's got a warm garage or even indoor area where we (looks like to be 3 in total) can congregate , smoke and enjoy each others company.
I'll volunteer my place for a future get together, my rec room is pretty small though, and I'll just assume in advance that the wife will want to be out of town of course.
Right now though, I have no furnace.
Getting a new one installed over the weekend, but thankfully it's not that cold yet. I need to build a new deck next year, which would be good when it warms up again. Provided no one minds a trip to the 'burbs...
Awesome! Thanks Ghost for your hospitality!
Now, we just need to make a date and time, and gather some people!
And a new pipe-club was born!
Yes! Let's work out the details soon!
Hi Ghost, CanAsian, Schmitzbitz,
great to see fellow Ottawarians express interest in a get together/club. Smoking a nice pipe is such a social event, it's a shame if we wouldn't work out a way to get together
Some guys mentioned that they regularly meet up at the casino in Hull? I've never been there before but maybe we could organize a meetup in their (as I heard quite nice) smoking lounge and talk shop?
All the Best,
Nic
Good to hear from you Nic! I was wondering if we could get the Ottawa guys to post more often. I think a meetup is inevitable sometime soon, details to come...Cheers!
Ive checked out the smoking lounge at the Casino Lac Lemy, and they don't allow pipe smoking. This is when I called last year.
They allow cigars but no pipes? Bummer
From my understanding, yes. But it may have changed, ad if maybe more people inquired about it, they would change it.
Maybe they think a bunch of guys sitting around for over an hour smoking pipes could be losing money in their casino instead.
If you guys get the urge to head south and cross the border, the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino has lots of smoking, and there is a bar right down the road that has a lovely smoking lounge. Pm me, first few rounds are on me.

Should bring me two or three of my churchills and hang out from morning to evening - that should teach them!
Jp- that's a great idea! I looked it up, and it's only about an hour and a half away. Maybe us Ottawa folk can car pool down once a month or so.
I'm originally from the Seaway, so I'm familar with the area but haven't been on the reserve for years. Good idea...
Not from Canada, but I do play hockey, so I love me some Maple Leaf, unless my American squad is battling you guys in an international game. hehehe.

Like this one?
Wish I was in Ottawa right now to catch Cody Ceci and the '67s.

Wow you do know your puck, eh?
67's are playing at Scotiabank Place this year, they have the whole place to themselves. I'll probably catch a game or two, I'm less than 10 minutes from there. As good as the junior hockey is, this town isn't the same without the Senators playing.

Just shoot me a PM, I can be around almost anytime.
Mr Berg, I would like to participate - can you give me a lift, do you think? I could bring a tin of Dark Twist.
Yeah I'm sure you guys miss that battle of Ontario with the Leafs. Always fun games to watch, especially on Hockey Night In Canada. I've been playing since I was seven years old, twenty-seven now, so I'm a pretty big fan. I like to keep up on the CHL kids, cause then you get a good idea of the next superstars and can better judge how well your team is drafting. Plus, it's pretty good hockey.

Get your bag packed, Mr. Squatch, I should arrive in 43 hours and 10 minutes, give or take a rest stop.
You can smoke at Bacchus at the Hilton/Casino. I do it fairly regularly.
Hey all, new here. Live in mechanicsville, and would love to attend any get together planned. I'd host, but im in a small one bedroom. Im able to accommodate a few people, thats about it.
Welcome to the forums skapunk. Always good to see a fellow Ottawarian ...
On my way to the Ottawa Cigar Emporium to take advantage of thier sales on Brigham products, gonna get me some Vanilla Maple and pack a Peterson's
Check out Cormerford & Sons, they got a very nice selection of tins!
im there about once a week replenishing cleaners, filters and matches.....huge selection of tins. Never been to the Emporium, fancy place. Saw a pipe thatt made me drool, gonna save up. Bought the vanilla and maple, very very nice. Yet nothing like petrson's aromatics. Ordered 4 flavours from pipesandcigars, half the price with shipping. I still want to try MacBarens honey and chocte.
The other thing ive invested in is a full restoration kit, with overproof rum, salts, bleaching my vulcanic stems, and a full buffing wheel kit with compounds and wax. If anyone is in need of a deep cleaning and de-oxidizing, as well as buffing, let me know.
Hey skapunk1 welcome aboard! Have you guys checked out Southbank News at all? I used to shop there all the time, they have stuff piled on top of stuff. Pipes, accessories, everything...
EDIT- If you've caught the restoration bug like hfearly and myself, start scanning the antique stores and flea markets in the area. Great deals to be had. If you can make the trek, there's a wonderful antique store in Almonte that I've bought several estates to restore. I found a Peterson Meer there, and my favourite Custombilt. I also posted a thread on a restoration of a Jeantet pipe that I purchased from there. They seem to get 'new' estates frequently...
Almonte eh? I grew up in Kinburn.....been to the stitsville flea market for years growing up, as well as the antrim truck stop one, have to check that out.unfortunately I dont drive currently. If you ever want to go, let me know,
My Peterson's 302 arrived today, along with my Petersons 2 pipe ashtray from 4noggins, some Connoisseur's Choice, Old Dublin, Dunhill Flake and Escudo Navy DeLuxe, all passed through customs no problem. Enjoying a very relaxing evening now.....with some great movies on LaserDisc, lol
OOoooh Laserdisc! Crazy old technology!
Enjoy your pipes and baccies! PM me if you ever feel like hanging out together and trying some other blends ... I've got about 100 jars with all kinds of stuff
Pm sent. 100? Wow....
"Laser...Disc"?
Hi folks. In Kanata here. I made a large purchase of pipe tobacco (from Cup O Joes down South), thinking that it was their fine cut (very suitable for RYO). Turns out it's the course cut, only suitable for smoking in a pipe. So, now I have 5 12oz bags of Finsbury Natural, and I can't find a single pipe smoker to unload it on. So, I'll try here. If anyone wants it, they are welcome to it, no charge. I just don't want it to go to waste.
I'll try to remember to check this forum again, sometime in the future.
Hi Allan, I'd be happy to take a bag or two off your hands. Don't know whether I have any fine cut that you might enjoy though... you are welcome to try some St. Bruno (the finest cut I have) or some Carter Hall (got a 14 oz tub of that stuff and it's pretty fine cut). How about you send me a PM and we can arrange a meetup
hfearly: Great. I'll PM you with my address and some suitable times.

JP, are you talking about The Brass Horse? I've driven by there many times but never stopped in for a visit.
Hi hemsworth,
Yup, that's the one. The bar can be rough, but the lounge is virtually unused. Are you local?
I live in Chesterville and a friend of mine has a cottage near Lyon Mountain, NY. So I drive through the area a few times throughout the year.
The place gave me the impression that it was a little rough around the edges and I know that my wife wouldn't be very comfortable if we were to stop in for a smoke. I see that they are now advertising a new walk in humidor.
Hi Hemsworth, cheers from Kanata and welcome aboard!
Thanks Ghost!
Lyon Mountain is a beautiful area. As far as the Brass Horse goes, I agree that maybe it's not the best place to take your wife.
I love Lyon Mountain. There are some great ATV trails in the area.
Ya know, that Finsbury pickup never happened, (see previous posts, 2 months ago). I still have 5 10oz bags I'm willing to give away. They are probably getting a little dry by now though.
Just created an account because of this thread! I live in Ottawa now, originally from Anahiem California. If this Ottawa club has been working out I'd love to get in on it. All of my smoking buddies are in California.
this thread is so awesome i started one for the GTA just to see if there are any pipers close to me.
I don't know if an Ottawa pipe club has ever actually been established yet.

There hasn't.
There was an active pipe club in Ottawa about 10 years ago, but nothing that I know of right now. I did meet up with Canasianpiper once for a box pass last year, but I haven't heard from him since. I'm still open for a meetup at some point, but I'm on the road a lot for work. The weeks tend to fly by.

Welcome aboard Scripto! I think since there are a few more of us joining up here from the 613, we should get together soon, somewhere...
My problem is the hour drive to Ottawa. Well, not so much the drive there as the drive back after a couple of drinks.
