Cigarettes online Blog Archive Cheap cigarettes
Marginally cheaper at duty free as there is some tax on cigs here. it works out about 2 quid difference on a carton of 200 Marlboro.
Unless you smoke a brand that isn' t available here, in which case you should buy on departure in the UK.
Alcohol is much cheaper at duty free and worth buying on arrival if you' d like a drink in your hotel room. You can buy mixers from the supermarket and probably get some ice from housekeeping.
There' s a DF price list here /
