Anyone From Ottawa, Ont Canada?

[hfearly]

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

 

[hfearly]

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 ;-)

 

[skapunk1]

Pm sent. 100? Wow....

"Laser...Disc"? 8O

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

 

[allansnider]

hfearly: Great. I'll PM you with my address and some suitable times.

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.

JP, are you talking about The Brass Horse? I've driven by there many times but never stopped in for a visit.

 

[jpberg]

Hi hemsworth,
Yup, that's the one. The bar can be rough, but the lounge is virtually unused. Are you local?

 

[hemsworth]

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.

 

[ghost]

Hi Hemsworth, cheers from Kanata and welcome aboard!

 

[hemsworth]

Thanks Ghost!

 

[jpberg]

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.

 

[hemsworth]

I love Lyon Mountain. There are some great ATV trails in the area.

 

[allansnider]

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.
