Cheapest place in Amsterdam to buy cigarettes?
 
I want to bring plenty of cigarettes back to the UK - where is the cheapest place to buy them with no restrictions on quantity ? Duty Free at the airport or in the city ?

You can't buy duty-free within the EU. And yes, the UK is still in the EU last time I checked. <BR>Any supermarket will be happy to sell you as many cigarettes as you like. About ? 3.30 a pack.

Hm, Fodors still doesn't accept the euro symbol. So it is EUR 3.30 a pack.

Hi<BR><BR>Sjoerd is right.<BR><BR>I pay Euro 3.60 here in France for Marlboro light.<BR><BR>I think Belgium may still be a little cheaper ............ and Luxemburg was the cheapest.<BR><BR>Peter<BR>

I've heard news reports of legit mail order cigarettes from Russia or Ukraine at a fraction of the cost most people pay. Supposedly, they carry the brand names. Not having luck finding a website -- anyone heard of or used an online source for smokes?
