Greetings from Eastern Townships, Quebec, Canada

Greeting forum,
I'm a new pipe smoker, long time cigar smoker. Call it a mid life crisis or whatever, but my memories of my dad smoking pipe when I was younger has been in my thoughts more and more, so I decided to take the plunge. The only problem is the lack of pipe smoking here in Quebec, Canada. I'm pretty limited to online shops, so I'm trying to read as much as I can and came across this forum. Glad to be here, and I have lots of reading to do...Cheers CNMoose

Welcome!

My wife used to live in Lennoxville.

Re: shops, the next time you're in Montreal check out Blatter & Blatter.

Hi yaddy306...I know the place...where I used to go to buy my cigars. But with the current working from home environment, I'm rarely travelling to Montreal to keep up with my cigar habit, so I turned to online stores. But when I travel next time into Montreal, Blatter & Blatter will be my first stop....plus I'm interested in trying their own tobacco blends they have. Cheers

Hi Mau1...Ottawa....I need to travel there monthly starting tomorrow...is Cigar Emporium a good place for pipe supplies?

 

[mau1]

To tell you the truth, I have never visited the shop. Knowing the price of a tin of tobacco in Canada, I'm not in a hurry to stop in there. But, I will, one of these days. Looking at their website, they seem to have a good selection of pipe tobacco. Cigar Emporium is in Byward Market; you'll enjoy it there. Check your mail, I sent you a PM.

Greetings from Central FL. Glad you joined. I spent a bit of time in Montréal last December. Was surprised at the number of pipe smokers I ran across out and about in town. Never did make it to Blatter and Blatter. I hear it’s a nice shop.
