Which country are they coming from?

L&M are about £15-£18 and B&H are about £25 a sleeve (more if conversion is shit) a sleeve in any Polish cash and carry, I'm pretty sure they're not much cheaper in the Ukraine either.

It would have to some bullshit despot country outside the EU for em to be that cheap or they're fake.
And they come off a boat with millions of other fags, when you're shipping containers full you can afford to sell em for less.
Fags are alot cheaper in the Ukraine they retail @ about €1.50 a pack in the Ukraine n about €4 in Poland. Alot of the fake fags over here are actually made here with a Spanish warning attached to the packaging.

The shipping companies buy them by the container load, ship em out to Africa around the Cape or Gibraltar where all the boats refuel and use them to restock the on-board shop/stores the crews buy from whilst on the boats working, the crew are allowed to buy a certain amount of fags/baccy from the ships store every X amount of days so they just smoke as little as possible n stash the sleeves of fags around the boat ready for docking in the UK as they are only supposed to be allowed a smaller amount whilst in UK waters, whereas they are allowed to be in possession of more n international waters.
Chatting to the boat crew ( all filipino) they reckon they can make 5x their yearly wage ( a pittance in UK terms) in selling fags throughout the year doing this, some of the crew are only on £1-2k a year( since they are employed from the philippines not the UK/EU) but can make £10-20k a year with the fags

Aye yeah I've just realised it's that "No law on international water" thing.

It's a fucking mindlessly ironic situation though, sums up globalist capitalism/supply and demand in a paragraph.

Yup, its annoying also as I know ppl that can get hold of container loads of genuine fags etc but they only sell you the container of fags , its up to you to get them into the country

I'm thinking about driving across Europe with the missus though, I wonder what I can pick up between Poland and the checkpoint in France on the way back?

Ooooooh look, the Netherlands!

I can go to the fucking factory and do that!.......:lol:


I can get 1L bottles of good quality vodka from the cash and carrys for £4.
I was thinking about importing booze straight from the distilleries in Poland on my license and making a killing until I realised how much the tax is per litre.
Ouch!

I don't think I'd need to go to that extreme but but I'm defo coming home with something.

I'm going to the mountain side of Poland this year in August for my birthday and I'm taking some fucking BHO or tincture with me this time.
Poland's cool and all but when you don't speak the language enough to converse to a decent extent the head needs a time out.

Actually I dont think you can, in most countries you need to be on an approved buyer list ( government/tax office etc approved)and have an account set up with the factory n credit checks etc etc etc, its part of all this EU bollocks to stop criminals just going to the factory, buying a container load n then shipping it into a country without paying tax.

a mate of mine looked into it a few years ago as he was gonna solely import foreign fags that arent sold in this country n seel em to ppl from the relevant countries from which they came (polish fags in polish shops, indian fags in indian shops etc) and he came across so many legal n logistical barriers it simply wasnt worth the effort, reckoned he would have had to spend over £200k in legal fees just getting the relevant background checks n permits etc
