    And from the FAQ:
    [FONT=verdana,geneva]Why didn´t I receive my whole order?[/FONT]
    [FONT=verdana,geneva]For security reasons we sometimes split orders into multiple parcels and send them a day apart, so the balance of your order will arrive in a day or so.[/FONT]
    [FONT=verdana,geneva]Is it illegal to order large quantities of cigarettes, tobacco or cigars? [/FONT]
    [FONT=verdana,geneva]It is the responsibility of the customer to ascertain and comply with the laws relating to the purchase and use of any tobacco goods. We will send whatever you order.
    [/FONT]

    And from the T&C's:
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]You can order as much as you require, bearing in mind your own countries laws and any sanctions you may incur.[/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]All goods are sent in good faith that the customer has complied with regulations applicable to their country and that they are responsible for compliance with the importation laws of their country and payment of any duties that may be applied. We will send whatever you order.

    Yes and you would also run the risk of having them confiscated and destroyed...which means you would get nothing and as it's all done by bank transfer/paying in at a bank, you have no comeback...
