Yes, 200 from Canaries.

There was a flight to Newcastle from here around one christmas, a lot of people had been paid a free holiday here to load up on cigs. The customs men a t Newcastle had heard of it and where waiting. No one would dare pick up their bags from the carousel all did runners.
Report themover • January 30, 2010 3:22 PM GMT
Does the 200 limit also apply to bringing them into Spain from Tenerife flatliner?
Report flatliner • January 30, 2010 3:29 PM GMT
Legally I don,t know, I do know when I was flying to ALicante via Madrid from Tenerife I never even knew where the customs was, they don,t seem to bother at all with internal flights.

But then again guess no-one is gonna fly from spain to canaries for cheap cigs.

Oh I don't know! - I'm in Valencia and they are 35 euros here so approximately double the price you are saying and you're only across the water!
Report themover • January 30, 2010 3:43 PM GMT
maybe not double - maths not working so good but might be worth it if ferry prices are low enough!
Report flatliner • January 30, 2010 4:01 PM GMT
Think the ferry takes 2 day to get here from Cadiz.....

andorra if you can get them back over the border to spain or france
Report uncle nasty • January 31, 2010 12:38 PM GMT
oh and the 3200 is a guideline not law.
say you go only once or twice a year, bring 5000 , no problem.
if you're going ten times a year 3200, you'll get the occasional tug.

I got nicked with about 20 sleeves of B&H a few years ago after hols in Canaries.... wouldnt mind, but i dont even smoke ;-)

weird thing was that about a year later had knock on door from 2 customs guys who wanted a look round the house.... didnt have to let em in as they had no warrant, but had nothing to hide.

Wasnt a thorough check, only had a look round downstairs.... i could have had a loft full of ciggies.
Report niceone • January 31, 2010 1:45 PM GMT
^^^Canaries do not count as part of the EU as far as the cig allowance goes. So only allowed one sleeve.
