The aroma upon entering this shop is worthy of five stars on it's own. You'll understand what fine tobacco has to offer your nose.

He raised his voice a little, looked at me like I had a tree growing out of my head and said, “I don’t understand the question”. So I asked the same question again, and he raised his voice again and said, “its illegal and you can go to jail”. Anyway I will not go there anymore and I inquired at the CBSA and they were more then helpful in giving me the rundown on the prices involved, and it was a much calmer tone then the owner of the Cigar store had. Guess he should lighten up a little, guess I’ll find...
Read morei went in today to buy my first pipe. i do not know much about pipes but the staff there were quick to help and full of knowledge. a gentleman who's name that has escaped me, helped me pick out a good starter pipe and suggested the style that would best suit my needs. another gentleman named Aaron helped me pick out a few tobaccos and get me set up with a the essential tools. he even had the time to sit me down and show me how to pack, clean, light and smoke a pipe. i found the staff very helpful and friendly. i will definatly be coming back and telling my friends about this place. i get the sense that if you don't walk in there pretending to know everything and acting like a big shot they will be more than...
