Cigarettes from Dubai
Hi, i'm a newbie to this forum and could do with some help if poss? my friend recently brought me back a carton of marlboro lights, the white filtered ones, from Dubai and i would really like to buy some more.
Obviously i am aware of taxation and duty but to be honest, if it works out the same or just a bit more expensive as buying cigarettes here, i would much prefer the white filters. So......
Does anybody know of any trustworthy shops that i could email or would post cigarettes back to the UK? i'm not looking for cartons upon cartons, maybe a carton a month for personal use only?
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.

Re: Cigarettes from Dubai
i am not exporting thousands of cigarettes, we are talking about a carton a month and i'm willing to buy from a shop that would ship it. i would not understand if the shop refused to sell me as they are not losing out on anything, i pay for the cigarettes, the postage, whatever happens after the item has been posted is no longer the shops responsibility? so can anybody help me and supply a chain brand shop or somewhere they are familiar with that could help?

Re: Cigarettes from Dubai
hi, i dont think it is strictly illegal if i expect to pay duty on the cigarettes? i'd even be willing to notify our tax man that this is my intention, purely because i have grown to like the white filtered marlboro lights much more, as the uk marlboro lights are quite awful and dry and (contradiction on terms) worse for you than the white filters.

Re: Cigarettes from Dubai
uk brands of fags are noticeably drier and taste quite different. why is it that once you find something you like, it becomes harder to get it again. i am unsure what the exporting legislation of UAE is with fags, but i'd still like to give it a try
