Here is what GL Pease has to say on the subject: http://www.glpease.com/Pipes/Shapes/Billiards.php
and Pipedia: http://pipedia.org/wiki/Canadian
Basically, they agree the Lumberman is a saddle-bit Canadian.

From what I have heard, the Canadian is longer by a few inches, I think a Canadian should always be at least 7-9" of stem with most of it being briar. I could be wrong though.

Canadian's are usually wearing Denim, where a Lumberman is often seen in flannel.
Or both, but only for formal occasions. You can really dress up the Canadian Tuxedo with some well-placed flannel!

Thanks, I should have checked Pipedia to begin with.
The flannel coat is often referred to as the Ontario dinner jacket.

So let me get this straight. Wear denims while smoking a Canadian and wear flannel when smoking a Lumberman would be the proper etiquette?
I love how this thread has (d)evolved!

Now that's what I'm talking about! I did have an old post about smoking jackets.
...I want this! Though I can see some of the more refined usuals of the Haberdashery turning their noses up to this idea.
They obviously do not appreciate the finer points of Canadian haute couture.
The height of being Canadian is:
Flannel lined denim jacket, smoking a Canadian pipe while drinking a Molson Canadian while in Canada.
Not surprisingly I have done this more times than I can count. Toque and all.

Not to sound like a hipster but Molson's recipe for Canadian went out the window when Busch bought it, and I have really been enjoying craft beers since even Kokanne isn't tasting as awesome as it did in highschool.
Have to agree. Mill Street is my brewery of choice. Not a bad one in the lot.
