canadian glencairns are my daily driver. i don't think they break easily. i've broken more standard glencairns than any other glass i've owned yet haven't broken a canadian one yet. i think a lot of that is just luck though.
Those are actually made by Glencairn as well.
> These glasses were specifically designed for Canadian whisky, but work great for any malt! The wide bowl allows for the fullest appreciation of color and the solid base is designed to be easy on the hand. These glasses are larger than the original Glencairn and have plenty enough room to add ice or whisky stones if you desire.

I like them...basically for exactly what it says on the tin: rocks and some cocktails. Or just for really strong ginger ale. :)
As a few others have mentioned - as you become more exposed to peat the less shocking, if you will, to your taste it will be. However, the more complexities you may find being able to taste between the peat.
As to the glassware, if you're just drinking out of tumblers, I'd highly recommend getting some tasting glasses. There's the classic Glencairn, the Canadian Glencairn, a copita or anything similar. A glass like these will allow the whisky to concentrate and focus the smell which will allow you to find the more underlying character of the various whiskies.
