  • Morocco was about £2 a packet (for Marlboro Lights) last week, although the girl in the airport said the UK limit was 400, not 200. Can anyone confirm if this was right?

    Latvia was 70p a packet in 2007... Poland is still fairly cheap and of course the Czech Republic as people say. Croatia (non-EU) was dirt cheap a few years ago as well.

    P & O Ferries from Hull, up to the end of March is BOGOF
    two people travel for £69
    You can go onto the P & O website and look at cig and tobacco prices.
    We go every 6 months for our supplies.
    Smoking is only allowed on the outside decks.
    Have lunch before you set off for the ferry, take a butty for tea in your cabin and dont forget your little travel kettle which pays for itself on one crossing with tea and coffee at about £1.50/1.80.
    Lunch in Amsterdam/bruges and a butty to eat on the return journey.

    DFDS ferry is terrible, bad service, extremely expensive. not particularly clean
    would never travel with them again even though i won the basic cruise.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Morocco is non-eu therefore its 200 per person duty free.
    Live each day like its your last because one day you'll be right

    Unfortunately, Gibralter isn't in the EU, so 200 ciggies only. ( legally ).

    Same applies to Jersey.
