VIRGINCRUISER1066 Posted April 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Is there a tobbaconist open on a sunday which is located near or on the port of Zeebrugge or Blakenburg or will I have to travel to Brugge ? I do not want to do the ships tour into Brugge but dont mind getting there under my own steam via shuttle bus/train. Thank you for any help ......

rubens Posted April 12, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2012 You don't have to look for a tobacconist, in Zeebrugge town center or Zeebrugge beach every newspapers shop or supermarket will have tobacco; if you need special cigars then you better go to Brugge- look for other threads in this forum "how to get to Brugge" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John Bull Posted April 13, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Years back there used to be a little group of them in the town centre, but I think they've all gone now. There's one just out of town, about a mile from the port gate on the N31 main road to Bruges, it carries reasonable stocks of UK brands. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Baron+de+Maerelaan%2FN31&daddr=Van+Iseghemlaan%2FN334&hl=en&ll=51.30937,3.188438&spn=0.071253,0.357056&sll=51.233151,2.918115&sspn=0.004924,0.011158&geocode=FW7hDgMdS6kwAA%3BFRfFDQMd0oAsAA&mra=dme&mrsp=1&sz=17&t=m&z=12&layer=c&cbll=51.309337,3.188424&panoid=szrswuvJBJR72F8SpcweaQ&cbp=11,225,,0,0 I don't know if its open on sundays, but those in Ostend, Bruges & Adinkerke certainly are. There's at least one in Ostend http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Baron+de+Maerelaan%2FN31&daddr=Van+Iseghemlaan%2FN334&hl=en&ll=51.234139,2.916656&spn=0.004313,0.022316&sll=51.233151,2.918115&sspn=0.004924,0.011158&geocode=FW7hDgMdS6kwAA%3BFRfFDQMd0oAsAA&mra=dme&mrsp=1&sz=17&t=m&layer=c&cbll=51.234134,2.916657&panoid=VGmJYZa0mnUjNpYgbDStrA&cbp=11,180,,0,0&z=16 There's also at least a couple in the centre of Bruges - just ask when you're there. Although Blankenberge is quite big, I have my doubts you'll find one there. JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelfirst Posted April 13, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I bought cigars for my son-in-law in Brugge in 2006 when I was there before a river cruise. I can't remember where I bought them so would be interested if anyone knows the shops location. I will be there in March 2013 and my son-in-law has already asked me to get him some more, he said they were the best cigars he has ever had.

travelfirst Posted April 14, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thank you for that information. That area looks familiar so I probably bought the cigars around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
