Thomas Hinds + TH Sampling Room

Two cigars with labels resting on a wood surface, with a brown leather wallet and a glass of whiskey in the background.

Thomas Hinds originated in 1988 with their first store in Toronto. In 2019 the business was purchased from Mel Hinds but continued to operate as Thomas Hinds Tobacconist to maintain the rich heritage and respect for Mel & Thomas Hinds. In 2022 the grand opening of the newly built Sampling Room sparked the renewed love for the age old tradition of cigar rooms.  

A can of Carlton Lager beer with the label showing, placed on a reflective black surface with wisps of smoke surrounding it.
