  • Despite the poor rate of exchenge, Spain is still the best place to visit if you are bringing your full 6 months allowance back.

    Here are the prices from the official shops (they are all the same price)

    Spain is obviously the cheapest to bring back a load from .My neighbour brings two thousand back at a time and keeps him going till the next holiday.
    Here in malaysia they are roughly £14 for 200.Thank god you can only get 200 back in or he'd be wanting me to bring him a suitcase full.

    best bet is a Ryanair flight from Newcastle into Gerona. Just need to get you timing right for 00p flights.

    Greece is a smidge cheaper than Spain - probably a euro or two per sleeve, and airport prices are same as street prices (Spanish airports normally 3-4 euro over street prices).

    Andorra around €15 for 200 cigarettes ...maximum 300 but never ever been checked and at that price worth the risk !

    I’ve just came back from a week in Benidorm where I paid 29.50 per 200 Lambert and Butler Kingsize – a tidy saving compared to UK prices.

    I’m trying to find if there is a European destination with cheap cigarettes that I could conveniently travel to from Newcastle Airport for a weekend stay?

    I know that Luxemburg appears to be the cheapest in the EU but there doesn’t seem to be any budget airlines that fly from Newcastle.

    I’ve also been considering using the Newcastle – Amsterdam ferry service from DFDS Seaways but I’m not sure if the prices of cigarettes in Amsterdam are quite as competitive. Can anybody help?

    Anybody got any good advice for finding cheap cigarettes in Europe other than quit smoking?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Cheapest we could get in Amsterdam was €4 for L&M prices are fixed so €40 for 200.

    Day Tripper is a good site for European shopping trips.
    I have a cunning plan!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts.

    This post was about purchasing cigarettes in Europe but has been removed for security reasons.
  • We have flown to Palma for £6.00 each. We flew on a Sat £1.00 flight and returned on a Monday £5.00 flight. We flew with hand luggage only. You have to pick the flights with no taxes and you would probably be checking in bags so you would need to check the charges.
    We just had a cheap weekend away but you would need to do the maths for your purpose.

    When I came back from Benidorm I saved £200 (with 3200 cigarettes and 40 pouches of tobacco)

    Thought it would be more than that - don't do baccy, but ciggies normally £15-20 a sleeve cheaper so £240-320 ish just on those..?
  • £9 for 200 Marlboro lights from Morrisons in Gibraltar.
