While I finished my day at a customer in Oostende, I wasn't really looking forward to the 90 minutes trip back home. Therefore I asked around if there was a cigar shop in town, so I could get something for the ride back home. Thankfully, one of the employees knew exactly what I was looking for, and pointed me to Vierstraete.
It looks very small from the outside, but man...it is big!!! A very wide range of pipes and attributes is very nicely stalled for viewing pleasures...but I was mostly interested in the humidor ofcourse.
The humi is not the biggest I have ever seen, but it is packed with a lot of cigars of various cigar brands. They also had a lot of brands that you dont find in most other stores, so definitely a must for guys like me, who are still trying out a lot of different cigars and tastes in order to refine the palette.
Though I didn't had the pleasure to meet the owner Jos Vierstraete (who is a member of the select group of European Maitre-Pipiers), I was guided in a very friendly and professional manner by one of the other employees who graciously took time to answer all my questions and showed me around the humidor to find the specific types I wanted.
Definitely a must for all Belgian cigar lovers, and a place where I will return very often!!
Now if they would just finish their website ;)
