Tobacco price/limit from lanzarote

Bloomin_Freezing2

Not for me, (yuck) stinky OH is a smoker. I suppose if he must buy it it's best we buy some from our holiday if its cheaper.

Its roll up stff that he has, golden virginia or drum. Can anyone give me an idea on price and how much can be brought back? (Doesn't have to be these specific brands just tobacco in general) - Not that I shall let him spend all our pocket money on it!

Thanks

i know the cigs the limit is only 200.
think the tobbaco is 250g.

The Canaries are considered to be outside the EU so the following applies:
Tobacco allowances

You can bring in one from the following list:

• 200 cigarettes
• 100 cigarillos
• 50 cigars
• 250g of tobacco

Or you can combine these allowances. For example, if you bring in 100 cigarettes (half your full allowance) you can also bring in 25 cigars (half your full allowance). This would make up your full tobacco allowance. You can't go over your total tobacco allowance.
You cannot combine alcohol and tobacco allowances.

Thanks whatmichaelsays I think 250g is 10 pouches then so 10 each if I carry some for him if I choose to.

Yes either 10 pouches of tobacco or 200 cigs.
Golden virginia was about 38 euros for 10 pouches,that was this July.

Most bags abroad are in 50g puches some even in 40g so you will only be allowed 5 packets back in
