I've got a row of big tall beatiful "pine" trees bordering my property, I'd like to add a few more near them but I'd like to add the same type. Any idea what kind of "pine" these are?

Thanks,

Those are not pine trees at all. They are Spruce. Probably White Spruce. Then again they could be Balsam Fir, but certainly not pine.

If the bark on the trunk is brown and scaly they will be spruce. If the bark of the trunk has blisters that contain sticky pitch when popped, it will be Balsam

It is definitely a spruce and looks like Norway Spruce to me. Branches curving up with foliage drooping down is indicative of Norway. If you can find a cone and it is slender and 4-6" long that would id it for sure.
 
Thanks guys, that's good actually, I have a tree farm nearby with Norway's up to 6' I think...
