I see a few of us Canadians on here -- if you're close enough to Vancouver, it's worth a visit to R. J. Clarke Tobacconist. A bit odd in that Mr. Clarke has a pen shop in the front half of the shop, and a wonderful old-fashioned set of counters with pipes and accessories in the back. Mr. Clarke is of the old-school: polite, unassuming, and not at all pushy, with an obvious knowledge of the trade and his products. He makes/sources his own blends of tobacco (I smoke his Premium Blend almost exclusively). Being BC, we can't smoke in his shop, of course, and he's not even allowed to give away samples, yet alone sell them. 50grams is the smallest quantity that can be sold in BC, and that costs close to $30. Not his fault, though! I highly recommend him -- one of the only 2 B & M shops we have!
