That's a good price Scott but you are only allowed 250g pp now.

Yeah I know, I don’t smoke though I only bought the 200 fag, no one on U.K. side checking, these two women had 2 carrier bags full, the chance you take

Wow, that was a big risk mate but I suppose they would say, well we got away with it, would have been very costly had they been pulled.

Hola!

I am bringing some cigarettes back to England for a relative and was wondering if it is cheaper to buy them in the tobacconists here in Spain or at the airport (now we have left the EU). Am I right in assuming that the allowance is 200 cigarettes? Thanks!

Hi

I bought 400 cigarettes as a present for my mom 200 split between me and my husband and they were €81 at Alicante airport last week

Can’t remember how much we paid at the tobacconist before but my husband said it was more

We rarely buy duty free anything these days unless they have an excellent special.  Most prices are cheaper locally ..in Sydney & here in our town in Spain. Alcohol prices last month, we could see was cheaper in Mercadona 


and for those complaining about the allowance for cigarettes, be grateful you aren’t flying to Aus! ….  😂


Tobacco

If you are aged 18 years or over you can bring:

  • one unopen packet of up to 25 cigarettes (or the equivalent of 25 grams of tobacco products), and
  • one open packet of cigarettes.

You can bring in up to 1.5 kilograms of smokeless tobacco for personal use. You will pay duty on any tobacco above 25 grams.
