Yep, finally went away for the long awaited short break to Brugge / Bruge which ever way you want it spelt, not my first visit, however my first time seeking out Cigar locations.

I posted a thread some time ago about Brugge and was informed about Jerry's Cigar Bar. I made a visit this week. I would recommend you drop in if you are in Brugge to pick up or top up LOL some CCs and NCs. Jerry's had a good selection of cigars and you can smoke indoors if the weather is bad.

They also do a good line in Single Malt Whiskys for our forum members North of the border. I purchased a couple of Cuabas and went outside to demolish them over a fine cup of continental coffee. The cigars I purchased seemed aged and smoked very well. The photos show a couple of guys smoking and drinking coffee it was stiffling hot in Jerry's, thats why we went into the square.

Worth a visit. Like my review about Rochester, even in Europe it seems that good tobacconist's are begining to get fewer.

I never had a problem smoking in Brugge indoors or outdoors that said I never smoked in a resturant.

One of the reasons I love going to Europe is you are not treated like the great unwashed if you smoke. I did get some interested looks when you get out your travel humidor and all your instruments, and choose a large cigar people are fascinated by the clipping, lighting and those great big large plumes of white smoke, you can feel and see them watching you great..........

I can also recommend "Krieke" or Cherry Beer, yep I know!!! but don't knock it till you try it. I found it good stuff not strong though.

Looks like a great little place Stogiedog, and it`s only a pity we did not have more places in the UK like that.
I was in Brussels last year and I liked the fact you could sit in a bar and smoke away to your hearts content.Far more civilised than over here.

Great place Bruges! There is a fantastic beer bar just right of the tower (when looking at it from the square) the bar is tucked into the building there and not easy to spot. The guy who runs it describes himself as a beerologist! :rock: They have a menu for all the different beers :tongue:

It would be ideally suited for a HERF and plenty of other places to smoke ie bars etc.

Paul - Some brilliant bars! Nice tour!

And Whisk - I'm off to Brussels with my missus on Moday for a few days so I'm pleased you say there are some free n easy places to smoke... because that's mostly what I want to do! :smoke:

Living in Antwerp, I am surprised that they are smoking inside Jerry Cigar shop. Although smoking is allowed (at present) in the cafes that do not serve food, Mr Frank my local Havana specialist, has not been able to smoke in his own shop for at least 2-3yrs & despite have enlarge & refurbished his shop last year, there is still no where to smoke. I can only presume the local council in Brugge are more liberal than Antwerp's.
I do like Brugge & we have been a couple of times but it does get very crowded; still I will be sure to visit this place the next time we drop by.
