I've already got a buyer mate, will give me double the price as he can shift it on for a little bit more

Won't be any messing around either as he's a good mate

From Jan next year all european countries have to sell sigs at the same price as we pay,well from what i hear anyways.Oh and you'll find most countries are priced nearly the exact same due to the euro.Lived in holland when it got introduced and travelled to belgium and germany and no real difference really

Sweet, we're going skiing there in January.

Currently I get mine from Spain. Rolling baccy though. Spanish brand called "Domingo". Costs..... wait for it........ £1.10 for 40g pouch. Considering uk prices now are over £10 for 50g, I'd say thats a bargain. I have 40 odd pouches Mum brought back last time... no limit either.

i order mine on-line
http://www.galastore.com/index.htm
i have used these loads of time
from when you order they take about 2-3 weeks to arrive

the way they get around it is you buy 120 or 200 fags at a time.
they are packaged up so it looks like a book and goes through a letter box.
never had a problem with them and i have been using them for years.
hope this helps
