Fortunately, I am going to visit Budapest in early December. Are there any good B&M's that I can visit?

Steve Laug, from Reborn Pipes, goes to Hungary pretty frequently. He posted this in his blog:

If you reply in one of the threads, I'm sure Steve will give you some insights on that city and country.
I am it envious of your trip. My mother is a Hungarian refugee, from WWII. I haven't made it there yet, but it is on my list.

An absolute gem of a city. I am jealous. I have only been there on business, and I would love to spend a week just visiting all of that beautiful architecture and art. It was the center of the Bohemian/Art Nouveau movement of the early turn of the century, so pay attention to all of the detail work on the buildings and such.
When we first scheduled a visit to the glass factories there, that movie Hostel had just came out, so I was expecting some dark dreary suppressed city of mud and turnips. I was greatly mistaken. The food, oh my God, the food and the people were wonderful.
I wasn't smoking a pipe at the time of our visit. I had actually quit smoking all together, so I can't help on you original question. But, Budapest and Istanbul are the two cities I would jump at visiting again and again.

Thanks a lot, I will check the blog, I appreciate it and hope you can visit Budapest one day.
Thanks a lot Cosmic, well I am also going there for a business trip for 3 days only. I doubt that I will have much free time, however I would like to have a look around and see what I can get. Oh, Istanbul? I visit Istanbul at least 3 times a year, it is very close to my country, language is very similar to ours and it is the only city that I will never get bored of visiting. Let me know when you visit next time, maybe we can meet there
