re: Fags

And if you are flying with Britannia, buy them on the aircraft. I bought my boss 400 silk cut for £19.50. They were £35 at Gatwick.

re: Fags

200 is the legal allowance for any non EEC country. The brands in Bulgaria such as B & H or Lambert and Butler are poor copies and taste awful. Buy the local brand called Victory or Victory Lights at just 16 levs for 200 they are better quality and at 61p a packet amazingly good value.

re: Fags

I shouldn't really tell you this, but one of our gang brought back 9000 Victory lights with him. He got caught and after a bit of bartering, paid a £50.. cough... 'fine' and they let him through. They don't really want them back, but they know we are all doing it and have made a business out of it. 3 others in our group got pulled aside and they paid £50 between them for approx. 12000 fags. Apparently the victory's are very, very strong, but the lights go down quite well with the English. ...

re: Fags

He takes extra luggage just for the fags!! And he gave some to his mates to bring back too. Quite a few got pulled over, but it was just a big joke bartering with them on payment. Anyone with English got them confiscated, probably because they are worth so much more to the touters.
