Hello,

There are two small tobacco museums in Flanders (Belgium) you should get
in touch with:
        * Tabaksmuseum
        (Mr. Vincent Verbrugge)
        Koestraat 16
        B-8940 Wervik
        Flanders-Belgium
        tel. (+32)56.314929
        fax  (+32)56.300148

        * Stedelijk Museum voor Pijp en Tabak
        (Mrs. Ann Matton)
        Markstraat 100
        B-8530 Harelbeke
        Flanders-Belgium
        tel. (+32)56.713681

I don't think they have email, but I send them your message by
traditional non-cyber way.
