Hi everyone.
My name is Joris, I live in Brugge (Bruges) in Flanders, the northern half of Belgium.
My favorite pipe shape is Canadian and Lumberman.
I like aromatic tobaccos with a honey and/or vanilla topping. I mostly smoke Oud-Brugge, a local tobacco.
Restoring estate pipes is something I also like to do. Most of my collection (some 40 pipes) are estates.
Apart from that, I really like the Middle Ages and am involved in Living History at www.liebaart.org

I once ate 'eel gruene' in a restaraunt in Brugge with a Flemish family - there were no tables available, so i was very grateful that they offered to share theirs. It was quite an experience - the parents, though young, didn't speak a word of English. The children and I communicated in French and English. The 'eel gruene' was something else - I had no idea how to eat it, and it had all the bones.

Welcome.
