Default Cost of cigarettes and tobacco in Europe

How much does 200 Marlboro lights and 250g box of Amber leaf cost per unit throughout Europe?

I know it's cheaper than here

Dont worry about limits, I know guys local to me go on holiday with their family and bring suitcases full of cigarettes back. It then pays for their holiday and some! One guy does it two or three times a year.

I get mine mailed in from Spain, Domingo tobacco, about £4 per pouch, or about £3 if I get freinds/relatives to bring back.

i found belgium to be cheapish. I just got my 50g cutters choice packs for £3.35 per pack.

this is the place i use. gives prices etc, plus you can pay in pounds, so works out cheaper with the exchange rate.

I know the Canaries are pretty cheap but your limited to 200 cigs or 250g of tobacco.

I know that because they took 2000 cigs and 1250g of amber leaf which was my own stash

I need to top up without paying UK prices
