Price of cigarettes in Poland?

Ash	Jul 26, 07, 11:33 #1
Hi, A friend of mine is visiting Poland next week, and i'd like him to bring some ciggies back. Can anyone give me a rough idea of how much 200 Marlboro's would cost, so i know how much of my hard-earned to give him? Any help much appreciated!

Marlboros are 7,9 zł per pack. Quoting: Zgubiony When I was there it was around 2.50 zl per pack. Wow... that must've been a looooooong time ago. :)

Marlboro lites in most places are 7.90zl a pack of 20 You can get them cheaper in some supermarkets but you won't make massive savings. Cigarettes here in Poland are so much cheaper than in England so even if your friend buys them for 7.90zl a pack you are saving lots of money!

about £10 / £11 :) but tell him to be carefull how many he brings in I was a bit a cheeky biatch when our flight got diverted to B/ham (they dont really check in M/c) and I just walked past the long line of people who were having their cases checked - never seen so many L&M's in my life stacked up that had been confiscated...but I did manage to bring back a 1,000 :)

closer to £15 - marlboro have shot up in price over the last 6 months for a number of reasons they are doing a nice special edition vintage metal case promotion atm for ten zls - dont think they are available in the uk

I paid 18Euro for a sleeve (box of 20), but this was in the countryside. That was about 2 years ago. Restrictions state that you cannot bring more than 2 sleeves per person through customs. They are quite stringent with checks now due to contraband.

Thanks so much everyone, you've all been very helpful. At those prices i think i'll have to give him as much as i can then. He's actually taking over a schoolboy football team, so i'm hoping he'll be allowed a carton per child....that'd be at least a dozen cartons, or 2400 ciggies! i just hope they're big children..! i do like the sound of that special edition metal case..hmmm. Cheers, All!

To the uk 200 per person,so if you need cheap Cigarettes the best idea is to send a football team!

Only a person who is 17 yrs (the exact birthday date decides) or older may bring alcohol and tobacco products to/from Poland. if you want to bring something from Poland to another EU country, you must check this country's regulations. strazgraniczna.pl/faq#q16 If coming TO Poland from an EU country, you can bring with you: 800 cigarettes;

From some EU countries there are limits on the
amount of tobacco products you can bring back
without paying duty and / or tax in the UK:
200 cigarettes from Bulgaria, Hungary*, Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland*, Romania and Slovakia*
200 cigarettes or 250g smoking tobacco from Estonia
Please note that there is no limit on other types of
tobacco products as long as they are for your own use.
(*The limits on cigarettes from Hungary, Poland
and Slovakia only apply until 31 December 2008) Copied from www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs/index.htm so in theory you should be able to bring back upto 3200 ?

SILVESTER: HOW MANY CIGGARETTES CAN I BRING BACK TO GLASGOW. Can you read, or indeed spell? In theory, as much as you like, however, you'll still have to satisfy Customs that they're for personal use. The reality is that 3200 is the limit.

Before I became a legitimat businessman, I used to smuggle 2 suitcases full of fags home every summer from Poland. How? On the bus. I always madw sure my suitcase was put at the bottom of the bus and was never checked in 4 years. I bought 200 cigs in Gdansk (L&B) for around 15 quid and sold them in the UK for 35 quid. Took them to factory canteens and couldnt sell them quick enough.

Good business if anyone wants to get into it, although the 24 hr bus journey is a nightmare

jon2707: Is golden Virginia tobacco available in warsaw? if so anyone know a price? It certainly used to be sold in a couple of the kiosks at the central station. Only the 50g packs. I've got no idea about the price but I seem to remember it used to cost more than Drum.

Allegedly, there are people that have fag rounds in the same way you get milk or paper rounds. Put your order in and every Friday you get a knock on the door and there is a man with your 200 fags. £30 a pop and everyone is happy. ( Disclaimer - There is no way I would condone this behaviour and I do not know of anyone who partakes in this behaviour )

Seanus: Up to 10PLN per pack now! And way too cheap. Sorry to be a party pooper, but my daughter is being endangered by passive smoking in all the Kato music clubs :(( Time for some sense and a smoking ban IMO

Well, it has worked in many countries so why not Poland? I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Seanus: Up to 10PLN per pack now! Thats nothing, its getting closer to £7 in the UK for a packet of malboro - not that I care, I no longer smoke!

Yeah, 10PLN is nothing. Ciggies were sometimes 1 pound in Japan, good brands too.

Smoking was ubiquitous in Japan? Really? Hmm...too many people were too busy cycling to smoke ;) ;) My wife sees the price of ciggies as she smokes a lot. 10PLN here, tragic! Still, a semi-effective deterrent.

Well, here's a question: nevermind the health aspect, we all know about that. But how much of the tax on cigarettes goes towards financing Polish troops in the Middle East?
