Vogue Cigarettes, of all things

Tsk. Now, whilst I know smoking is the sin of all sins when you're trying to save, I'd like to point out that these are not for myself, but rather my flatmate.

Anyway, she has a bee in her bonnet about wanting to try these cigarettes, apparently they're very slim and feminine or suchlike. I did a little bit of a shop around on the Internet to see if I could track them down but I was unable to find anything cheap.

I'm not sure if this breaks the ToC of the site to ask if people might know of anywhere I can buy such goodies - so I apologise in advance if I've broken a rule and wouldn't mind the thread being removed if this is the case.

Thank you :)

    hi, not sure if this is breaking the rules either, but you could try Selfridges. I used to smoke Davidoff slims that are very similar to the one you describe but could only fine them at the cigar counter at Selfridges...your best bet is to get them duty free but you may find it is only available at selected airports...ny and greece are two that tend to have a wide range!

    Vogue [slims] cigarettes are being discontinued in the UK, cigarettes like 'Karlia' are being offered as an alternative because they are the same slim guage as Vogue.
    If you can track down a specialist retailer of fine tobacco's then they may have some stock left - alternatively you would need to enter the world of tabacco websites online, most of whom appear to be based in far off places like poland and quote prices in $$, there may also be customs and exise protocols that need to be negotiated otherwise you may or may not get hit with duty.
    sorry couldn't be more helpful

    I Went to Bulgaria and 50% of the ciggarettes that they sell are slim verson ............. and about 40p per packet but unfortunatley I could only bring home 200, so taking a trip out there wouldnt help. (doubt that she is that desperate)

    The actual smoke/enjoyment was great and have never been able to mach it here in the uk.

    there is a websit, which i have never tried, that sell the brand I smoked.

    Vogue cigarettes, I know someone who smokes those but yes they are slim, all white, femenine, I believe they are the brand Audrey Hepburn smoked in Breakfast at Tiffanys which is where they get their reputation from. But I think they are still available because as I said, I know someone who smokes them

    They sell them in duty free places like on the ferry or if you go to Harwich or Dover.

    Thank you to all for your help! And peculiarly enough, I AM going to Bulgaria in June!

    3rd cheap money-saving holiday this year - Wales, NY and Bulgaria. I get around!
