I want to go to spain to buy cigs and spend a few days there.am i allowed to bring back 3200 cigs plus 3kg tob

Question

how much are cigs and tobacco in spain

Answer 1

Very difficult to buy packs of 200 cigarettes and 3 kg packs of tobacco where I live in Spain. The supermarkets have never sold them. The shopping malls where there were tobacconists, they aren't allowed to sell them anymore as like some large  concerns like Corte Ingles. You may get them at duty free in the airport but at my airport there is no duty free shop.

You will get cigarettes from bars and local tobacconists but only in packs of twenty. You are allowed 3200 cigs but make sure they are unopened and in your suitcase. The Canary Islands differ to mainland Spain. You can only bring back 200 cigs from there.

I don't know the price as I don't smoke. The reason I live in Spain was because I didn't smoke. If I did smoke I'd never have been able to afford anything.

Answer 2

Yes you can bring back 3,200 cigs and 8 packs of baccy.

You don't say what tabs you will be buying etc and which resort you are going to.

Regal, L + B, Superkings and Berkley are currently between 30e and 32e (about £21-22)

Royals are 25e

Turner baccy is 20e

Drum is 34e

Golden Virginia is 43e

Look out for tobacconist which offer small bottles of spirits attached to tabs, these are handy for presents even if you don't drink yourself.

I wouldn't risk bringing back anymore in case you get caught, hope this helps.
