Esteban Carrera Afternoon with Christopher Mey
2026-03-07 12:00 - 16:00
Saturday, March 712:00 – 4:00 PM
Join Christopher Mey for an afternoon centred around Esteban Carreras cigars.
This relaxed, open-house style event offers a chance to spend time in good company, explore the Esteban Carrera portfolio, and enjoy conversation rooted in craft, balance, and the rituals that surround fine cigars.
Esteban Carreras is a boutique cigar manufacturer based at Tabacaleras Carreras in Estelí, Nicaragua. Working at the heart of one of the world’s great cigar regions, the brand is known for its thoughtful use of Nicaraguan tobaccos, with many blends crafted as 100% Nicaraguan puros.
The factory’s small-batch approach allows for close attention to detail, resulting in cigars recognized for their depth of flavour, steady strength, and careful construction. Blends such as Chupacabra and Covenant have earned regular rotation among seasoned smokers, reflecting a profile that builds gradually and rewards a slower cadence.
The Esteban Carreras portfolio is valued for offering character and complexity without excess, making it a natural choice for those who appreciate craftsmanship, balance, and honest flavour.
See you there!

An Evening With Erik Stokkebye
2026-03-26 17:00 - 21:00
An Evening with Erik Stokkebye
Thursday, March 26 | 5:00pm till 9:00 pm
Come and meet Erik in store. Enjoy a sample of Erik’s 4th generation tobacco.
This event is free to attend and is open to new pipe smokers as well as seasoned veterans.
Erik will be doing a pipe and tobacco presentation at 7:00pm with a Q&A afterward.
For the new pipe smoker who wants to try pipe smoking for the first time we will also have a complimentary corn cob pipe available for you to use with your pipe tobacco samples.
4 new 4th Generation tobacco’s will be officially released.
Representing his family’s fourth generation in the tobacco business, Erik Stokkebye has been
immersed in the trade over his entire lifetime. Appropriately, Erik is the founder and driving force
behind Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation tobaccos and 4th Generation pipes.
His family has been entrenched in tobacco since 1882, when his great-grandfather, Erik Peter
Stokkebye, launched the Stokkebye Company in Odense, Denmark. “When he started the
company,” says Erik, “he moved into a four-story building with a factory in the back, apartments
upstairs, and a retail store in front. The factory entrance is actually depicted on the tin for the
limited-edition tobacco we released last year: Small Batch Jubilæums Flake. “The building has
not housed a tobacco shop since the 1960s and is now a women’s clothing store, but it and its
history are intact. The original structure continues to stand today and is an official historic
building. “So it can’t be torn down, because it’s under the supervision of the Danish government,
which is kind of cool.”
Tobaccos featured:
1855 Virginia
1931 Navy Flake
1957 Vanilla
1982 Aromatic
Plan to pop in to the shop and share a bowl and some conversation with Erik!

Friday, June 26
We welcome Manuel Inoa of La Aurora for an evening marking the introduction of the new La Aurora Creed cigar.
This event offers an opportunity to spend time with one of the industry’s most respected blenders and to explore a release that reflects La Aurora’s evolving approach to balance, flavour, and modern expression.
La Aurora Family Creed is a full-bodied cigar produced in the Dominican Republic, built around a sun-grown wrapper with Dominican binder and a blended core of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Pennsylvanian tobaccos. The profile unfolds with notes of cedar, citrus zest, roasted nuts, earth, and leather, offering depth without haste.
Created in honour of the León family legacy at La Aurora, Creed is designed with strength and balance in mind — best suited to experienced smokers seeking a deliberate, hour-long smoke.
Further details will be shared as they are confirmed. For now, mark the date and plan to join us as this new chapter is introduced.
