Welcome to the Board, EH??

1./ You ain't gonna find a cigar store in Canada with "Reasonable" prices. Case closed, forget about it.

2./ Beads are awesome, and don't scrimp on a cheap digital, IMHO. You're better off with a salt-tested analog.

3./ You don't want to buy from Canadian On-Line retainers. You'll get a trip to Cuba for cheaper than the taxes you'll get nailed for.

4./ I would recommend either a Z-Plus insert for a Zippo, or a decent dual flame torch. Plenty of posts here about properly lighting. You PMed me about the Newbie Sampler. I'll toss in a single flame torch for you if we work something out. I have a spare.

5./ (4A??) I'll hook you up with a nice selection per your PM.

Again, welcome and spend plenty of time reading. Lot'sa great info here.
