Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster. I live in Alberta, which is pretty much Canada's version of Texas (ranches, oil, rednecks, etc). Pipe tobacco costs $50-60 for a 50g tin here. I don't know any other (tobacco) pipe smokers in my area. I'm sure they exist, but I've only ever seen one person in public smoking a pipe (an older gentleman at the dogpark I frequent with my dogger). I figured I would actually start posting instead of just reading, as it would be nice to actually discuss piping and tobacco with kindred spirits.

Glad you spoke up, and fire away any questions, observations, quips, etc.
Huh- Like Texas, but you get real Winters up there!

Thanks for the welcomes guys. Glad to see other Canadians on here too. We do indeed have winter here, I once tried to smoke a cigar when it was -47C (-52F), it didn't work so well lol.

Canuckle, there's regular groups in Edmonton, less regular in Calgary, and I'm in between those, there's guys in Cochrane... depending on where you are there may be more local talent than you realize.

Welcome from the centre of the universe, AKA Toronto :)
That's an inside joke for the Canadians.
I know for a fact there are at least 8-10 other pipe smokers in the city here because I've actually met them. Not bad for a metropolitan area of almost 5 million :rofl:

Maybe Texas is the US Verizon of Alberta?
About a hundred years ago Alberta was marketed as “The Next Best West” to try and get homesteaders to settle down here (apparently it worked, Saskatchewan has about 1/3 the population of Alberta), so there’s actually sort of a historical precedent establishing Alberta as the Canadian version of Texas.
