Cheap cigarettes in Europe?

peachy1964

Fuerteventura was 15.95 euros for 200 richmond superkings at christmas 2008 and superkings were about 25 euros for 200 but you are limited to 200 each.They did do some really cheap ones at 6.95 for 200 kingsize but god knows whats in them!
You could always look at cqout dot com auction site as they do loads of cigarettes and tobacco on there and is run like ebay so you can see peoples feedback. most fags on there are about £25 - £30 per 200:rotfl:

Hi all,
Is there a problem bringing back cigs from Italy ? Rome in particular ?
Some relatives have just been turned down at the airport duty free and I don't understand what the problem is ????

You can't buy duty free cigarettes from Italy !!! But the airport shop would stock them for those travelling outside EU thats why you need to show your boarding card !!! Some airport shops sell duty paid cigs but obviously they are more expensive !!

Thanks for that Lisa,
I thought with Italy being in the EU etc there wouldn't be a problem.
I don't understand what the difference is between Italy and somewhere like Spain etc

Hi silk, there is no diffeerence between Italy and Spain they are both in the EU and therefore we can only get duty paid cigarettes from them to bring back here. The Canary island - Tenerife, Gran Canaria Fueterventura are not in the fiscal EU though so you can get duty free cigs from there BUT because of that you are therefore only allowed 200 !!

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for that, I don't understand why we bought cigs earlier in the year at airport in Spain no problem but they must have had duty paid on them or something ????

yep you got it the cigs from spain were duty paid, unless you went to the canary islands where they would of been duty free!!:D

:exclamati I have just got back from the Canary Islands and a word of warning as I got stopped by Immigration. I honestly did not know the duty free allowance is different from the mainland, as I assumed that the allowance was the same as for coming in from Spain. Although the CI's are under Spanish law, the taxation rules are different!! You can only bring in 200 cigarettes from CT's and I had my extras confiscated - ouch!!! Check the country before you go!!

Expensive mistake. _pale_

You would'nt have anything seized off you by immigration it would have been the ever so good looking customs officers who would have seized your goodies from you.

My girlfriend and I are now going to Crete for a week in June for my 21st Birthday. Anybody know of the current prices for Lambert and Butler, Turner, Golden Virginia or Drum?
