In southern Ontario? Preferably in the Kitchener/Waterloo/Stratford area?

great selection, and VERY knowledgeable staff

if you are ever in Toronto and get a chance to check it out, it's well worth it

If you are really hurting for a cigar, check out, believe it not, Holey Smokes at most loblaws locations. They have a humid room with about 100 different cigars, lots of cubans too. Prices range from $.99 to about $50.00.

I second the Loblaws locations...usually good turnover...fresh and well maintained.

In Waterloo check out the Quick Trip Variety store on Erb st near Fischer-Hallman, they have a walk-in humidor called the Lion's Den with great selection and well taken care of.

Downtown Kitchener there is the Walper, which is also good.

The Walper Tobacco shop on the corner of King and Queen in downtown Kitchener is your best bet IMHO. The chap that was there was helpful to me as a cigar neophyte.

Ditto. The Walper house tobacco store has the best selection in the area and they are in top condition kept in a really decent humidor room. They still did not have my favorite Dutch cigars but they have Monte Cristos and the major Cuban and Honduras brands....also he keeps a stock of reasonably priced good tasting off brands.
