Evening everyone 

I shall be coming to Orihuela Costa in August and do not drive and to be honest I'm looking for somewhere to get cigarettes in cartons, rather than a machine in 20s. Is there anywhere that you guys can advise? Happy to get a cab. Or can I get them at the airport when I land?

In Los Dolses where the Lidl and Mercadona supermarkets are located on the way up from the N332 LaZenia roundabout towards Villamartin there is a shop called Take A Break on the upper level, they sell cartons of cigarettes at prices often better than at the Airport.

There is a Tabacos on the ground floor of the rental car park at Alicante airport. Prices are regulated and cheaper than the duty free shops.

Many Thanks. It's been a couple of years since I last visited and didn't venture far 🤣 Is it anywhere near the area with the Chinese Restaurant (that was up some stairs), pharmacy downstairs and Karaoke bar? Not much help but think it was a 10 minute walk from the Emerald Isle, if that helps?

When you are here it is easy to find, as you go up from the La Zenia roundabout of the N332 you pass Consum supermarket on the left and a Chinese Bazaar on the right, you come to a roundabout and on the right you will see Lidl and Mercadona supermarkets, go into the car park and you will see stairs or a lift to the upper level where there are cafes and the JML shop, Take A Break is there.

Good morning 

Tabac shops sell cartons. They are in most areas including Torrevieja. None at La Zenia.

Have a good time in August - it will be hot.

Best wishes

Denise

Pick them up at tobacconist at airport. Go to very ground floor and it’s at the far end corner. They open from 10am to 8.30pm and are the Same price as any tobacconist. The shop above Lidl and mercadona do them but each carton about 4euro (roughly) more expensive than tobacconist so you need to weigh up how many you will use
