Belguim

[Stogiedog]

I am going to Belguim later this year can anyone recommend or know of any cigar reatilers in the Brugge, Gent, Ostende area? Thanks.:smile:

The only Belgian shop I know is in Brussels. Fantastic service from the owner...really friendly. When I was there with Giga a few years ago he left us to our own devices in the walk in humidor and chatted up our wives over coffee! LINK (http://www.leroiducigare.be/)

Im going over to Brugge on the Eurostar in May and have been doing a bit of googling and it seems theres quite a good cigar bar called Jerrys Cigar bar in the town centre which made me quite happy to hear :smoke:

[Pantomimehorse]

thinking about it are the sticks much cheaper over there? worth bringing some back?

[cohibaIV]

Always wanted to go to Bruge....sorry off the subject....:cowboyic9:

[Stogiedog]

Anyone had any experience of purchasing Cuban's over the Belgium border with France, near Calais. I've looked on a few websites, but the shops I've found only seem to sell EuroStogies, yuk.
Or Calais for that matter.

Only bought smokes in Paris

If I remeber all the shops were the same price , Belgium was the same , think the prices are set by the government and were not that great , better than the uk though

Brugges is a daytrip destination from where I live.
Lovely place to flop about in bars with one on in the sun.

[Robusto]

Was in Brussels last year for the F1.Dupont shop in the city is worth visiting if you get the chance.Very nice city but smokes are pricey IMO.

Ok just back from Brugge, I was quite impressed by the prices, there were two cigar shops in the town, the more inviting one being Jerrys Cigar Bar which is where I bough a box of 25 Romeo y Julieta No. 1 Tubed for E140 which I thought was good, I havent looked at puro but considering theres no danger of customs or anything Im happy, and its my first box!

:cowboyic9:

[cj121]

Fair result there Chris. Hope you had a good time mate?

[Pantomimehorse]

yeah was a great town, nice to just chill for a couple of days which some nice sticks, got through a nice selection of singles I bought while out there too.

[Stogiedog]

Panto are you able to smoke in Jerrys mate?

[Pantomimehorse]

yep they have a large area full of sofas for that very purpose, I didnt bother though as the weather was good and most bars have outside seating

[Stogiedog]

Thanks mate.

Whilist in Bruge we went to a concert with an audience of 300 the gig was a guy called Dhafer Youssef http://www.dhaferyoussef.com/

What a fantastic night. His style is like Jazz with a tunisian twist though not an out and out jazz lover a thourghly great evening. I would recommend his concert if thats your thing. Bryan you would have loved the evening the pianist was out of this world, that said a great group of highly talented musicians, and though not a musician myself the performances were very complicated and long.
