Hello Arno,

First of all, congrats and thank you for your marvellous, information-laden site! It really is a joy to read!

I was wondering if you would agree to enlighten me on a few pipe-related topics of a rather practical nature?
It mainly has to do with:
-where to procure tobaccos which are not sold in Belgium?
-what are customs regulations if I decide to bring back tobaccos from
another EU country ( Denmark or Germany)?

I recently ordered from smokingpipes.com with the aim to explore the amercian production, but I am afraid the belgian customs seem to have seized and maybe destroyed my package. And of course smokingpipes.com works with an inflexible no-refund policy.

Are there adresses close to Belgium, that you would recommend? Are there good european web sites which deliver without fail here in Belgium? I don’t expect you to know my national custom regulations, but if you happened to know, or have experience in the field?

I am 43, male, a general practitioner, and I have just taken up pipe smoking again after a 15 year spell without it.
I am particularly desirous to extend the choice of tobaccos I can try, as I’m keen to explore and to educate myself.

Anyway, thank you very much for your time,

All the best

Gilles
