Alexis Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I always buy baccy for my ungratefull daughters and I seem to remember that the price at the Duty Free was the same as I had paid from the Tabac but the Duty Free was 50g rather than 40g pouches.Anybody bought any Golden Virginia recently please and can remember how much they paid?Of course, I could always say that they had sold out or it was too dear and I wouldn't buy it....save me some money anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 About E4.50 for 40 grammes. I thought 'Duty free' was finished;Don't they pay you for the tobacco? Let them pay English prices at home, they'll soon get their hands in their pocketsBy the way none of my family will by tobacco abroad for my mum.

Alexis Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 They have a duty free shop at the terminal.Wine and spirits always seem more expensive but fags are often the same price as from the tabac. Sometimes cheaper.I am sure the baccy is cheaper. I know in the UK it is double the price and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard-R Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 'duty free' It's just one of those scams the ferry/chunnel run. If you want to save some money on the way home head up to Belgium or better Lux. Down south we get ours from Spain, which is far cheaper than France.

Le martin-pêcheur Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Greetings fellow smokers( aka lepers).Can't help with the baccy but if you want cheap papers, rollers, tins etc etc have a look at www.roll-ups.co.uk . We use this company a lot and they send to France within about 4 days or so.Great service.Regards,Tony and Sue www.flyfishinginfrance.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 >>By the way none of my family will by tobacco abroad for my mum. <<<We both bring cigarettes back for my mum - whats the point of not ? She refunds the cost and she is 85, she's been smoking since she was 14 ! (Her father started smoking at 12 and died shortly before his 90th birthday, still planning 'next years garden' which he had been doing until a fall stopped him a couple of months before)Oddly neither my sister or I smoke, but we certainly don't want to deny our mother the pleasure.

Tresco Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hi GayMy mum's a similar age to yours. There is is no way she will stop now, though she has cut down a lot and now smokes the tiniest rollies imaginable. One of my sisters called me 'an enabler' for bringing her tobacco from France. They were far less judgemental when one of the older grandchildren presented her with 'something more interesting' to smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
