Hello from Montreal

Welcome from central North Carolina. I went to Montreal to celebrate my 60th a good while back, and really enjoyed it -- the food, the river with some expert boat piloting past the rocks, its great art museum, and lots of fine walking areas. I went in the fall, so I didn't encounter any of the ice sliding off the roofs that the signs warn about.
Any of you Montréalans seeing the race tomorrow?

Why: It will save time for others as to where you live when you mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc. In many instances that saves time for those who read your posts, and for you in not having to reply to inquiries. .

Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state. province, etc.

Hello, new guy here too!
Do you have any pipes from Blatter & Blatter? If so, what do you make of them?
About 6 months ago I tried to order some and monsieur Blatter very kindly replied saying due to covid related supply chain issues they were unable to get the briar back then. I hope that has changed. I really want a made in Canada Canadian!
Can you recommend some good tobacconists (for cigars and pipes) in Montreal? We're going to be visiting next weekend on the 24th.
Blatter & Blatter would have a largest variety, but if you expect anything similar to US B&M - you are in for a huge disappointment.
Blatter is the best - in the sense that they fabricate pipes and have a long history in pipemaking. However, their selection is limited. I would definitely visit them - it is a historic place, and who knows - you might pick up a nice pipe. But if I was looking for tobacco purely, I would suggest a place called Tabagie Pat & Robert on Ontario est. It has a better selection of tobacco. In Little Italy, there is Cigare et compagnie which has a not bad selection as well. And, one more option - Vasco Cigars on Ste-Catherine O (West).
Bonjour! Legends in Montréal and beyond! I have three of their pipes and they all smoke amazingly! To go purely Canadian, I purchased one of their Canadians a couple months ago. Smokes wonderful as they all do. The first one I bought was a bent billard and then a beautiful cherrywood (poker). I didn't know about the difficulty to acquire briar - hopefully things are going better. It's wonderful to visit their store and meet the artists face to face. Would love to see your pipe if you buy one from them. Maybe it was me who "stole" the last Canadian they had! ? ? Oh - and you know they're part of Confrérie des Maîtres-Pipiers de Saint-Claude? Supposedly, they visit St-Claude every year.
