Golden Virginia tobacco £2.85/4.40 euros for 50 gr packets, usual cigarette makes £27.50/41.00 euros 200 carton, we buy ours at tobacco alley in Adinkerke but I believe prices in Belgium are regulated so they should be about the same everywhere. Went to Ostend just after Christmas a couple of years ago, had a really lovely time but I'm not sure about Chrismas day and boxing day- sorry

We were in Oostende a couple of weeks ago, there are loads of bars and places to eat and a really nice sandy beach you are also about 15 minutes from Brugge by train which is where we stayed an well worth a visit, try the smoked eel from the fish stall at the harbour in Oostende it is really nice, but beware of seagulls they are the biggest I have ever seen anywhere, would make a more than ample xmas dinner
