Thanks for the tip, i ended up getting everything from smoking cigar on bayview. Next time I'm downtown ill have to check tomas hinds out

I knew you were a big cigar guy but never knew you were also into pipes.

I've got a couple in the "Tobacco drawer" right under the humidor. I enjoy cigars a bit more, simply because I'm a better cigar smoker than pipe smoker. But I do like the pipes as well. They're brilliant on a cool fall day, during a walk.

I like Smokin' cigar too. The owner leaves a little bit to be desired IMO (I just find him a bit too aggressive for my tastes), but their service is good and their products are good. That's where I bought my second humidor.

We'll have to sit down and have a smoke when I get back in the city.

I agree the owner does seem a bit pushy so i dont buy much when hes there, but i got lucky and there was a younger kid there who i could tell was a bigger pipe smoker compared to cigars so i got lucky.

Sounds like a plan to me then!

I recently picked up some Brigham's English Mixture and found it very enjoyable. It seems like a good entry-level english tobacco.
