Ciggies on the streat are a definite fake, don't buy those. Buy in a normal shop, check for banderolles and don't worry, they're definitely cheaper than the UK.

re: smoking

Almost all branded Cigarettes in Bulgaria such as Bensons, Lambert & Butler etc. are imported fakes from Poland (including the ones sold in the shops) and whilst the packaging is almost identical, the cigarettes themselves are absolutely disgusting (arn't they all) and should be avoided like the plague. Stick to the local brand of Victory which are very simular to UK Cigarettes but 1/4 of the price.

re: smoking

I agree. Forget your uk brand. Victorys are a fine smoke. Even my girlfriend likes them and she's a part timer. They're available in normal and lights.
