Re: Golden Virginia
thanks for the info , do they sell them in 5 x 50 gm as I thought that was the limit in the UK ?
I only took it back once before and was stopped with 10 x 50 gm the " jobs worth " took the lot ..
I bought that lot in UAE , is 1900 bht cheaper than in the UK ?
Re: Golden Virginia
Hi Timmy
Firstly they do sell in the 5 x 50 packs, I’m confusing you with my trips as I was travelling with my wife so I could get the 10 pack
Your right, 5 x 50 is the single adult allowance limit into U.K.
just as a matter of interest for cost ..1900 bht is approx £47 and is WAY. WAY Cheaper than buying in Blighty
Example one 50 g pouch in Tesco is £24.15 ( price searched online in Tesco website)
if you are stopping over in Dubai you can buy it there duty free even cheaper than swampy as I found out on my last emirates flight

Re: Golden Virginia
As you come down the ramp from immigration the first duty free shop on your right stocks Golden Virginia but only in 10 X 50 gram boxes.
I was stopped by UK Customs and as I owned up before he searched my bags he let me off with a warning and let me keep the baccy.

Re: Golden Virginia
The duty on Hand rolling Baccy is 209.77 Pounds per Kilo.
That would work out at 21 Pounds per packet for the extra 5 packets you would be carrying.

Re: Golden Virginia
Have you considered asking a fellow passenger to carry 5 packs through for you?
Re: Golden Virginia
no I don't think its worth the problems I may get when its not for me anyway ,karonsteve wrote: ↑February 15, 2020, 11:26 amHave you considered asking a fellow passenger to carry 5 packs through for you?
I did find the Chinese shop just down from immigration that sells loads of
tobaccer & booze but they wanted 1900 baht for 5 x 50 gm packs that seemed
a bit OTT to me ...
