    Would have to agree with above post, tobacco/alcohol cruises are the only real way to save money when buying such products. However,ultimately if you are that desperate as to buy illegally from some website, I would think its a good time to jack it in thus saving a lot of money and your own health ;)

    Omen666, as you well know tobaccoking are just a bunch of shysters. They know full well that everybody who orders tobacco products for importation into the UK will be liable for Excise Duty and VAT.

    As people have said elsewhere on this thread the cheapest way to get fags and baccie is to go and get it yourself in the EC.

    Golden Virginia is currently selling in Belgium for £3.95 for a 50G pouch

    Here's the price list from one store. There are plenty of others to choose from.

    Why are they shysters? I cannot see any evidence to back up your sweeping statement

    They send the product some times it gets through customs sometimes it does not that is not their fault. It is down to the people ordering that fail to read the T&C's displayed
  • hi I paid £108 for 10 pouches of tobacco to be sent to my house which they say takes 7 days or less so on day 20 i thought i better contact them to see where the hell my tobacco was. They said oh we was having a problem with the transfer (money) yeh right it left my account the same day. They said it had been dispatched that morning, Ok here i am now day 29 and still no tobacco :mad: I have emailed them again and they wont even email me back i am asking for the tracking code along with the name of the courier but they wont even reply back what can i do about it can anyone help or have any ideas cheers. craig

    It may be you will receive a letter in the post from HMC&E

    There will always be a risk when buying tobacco/cigarettes on line, OH has bought baccy successfully and then the last time customs grabbed it, but he was not informed of this, he contacted the company and he had his money back.

    why do you just grow it yourself, i have been thinking about doing it for a while now and for about 500 seeds it cost around £4.50. i've been looking into it and as long as you dont sell any then its perfectly legal.
