Buying Cigarettes Online

Anyone here done it? Prices go from like $10 - $30 a carton depending on the brand. Most websites have all the popular brands (with the warnings in some eastern european language). Shipping is like $25 registered post (so you gotta be home to sign for it).


What were your experiences like? Did you actually receive the cartons? Was the quality ok? Also what websites have you used? I imagine it varies greatly.

Also this is illegal under the new PACT act, but if your ordering from a foreign country i doubt they can really stop you (also illegal to ship any tobacco products through us post, but since people get away with shipping pot i imagine you can get away with a few cartons)

I'd imagine customs might have a problem though? Also 55 bucks isn't a terrible amount of savings is it? It's been a while since I've looked but I think a pack of smokes is roughly $6.50 here and I'd think the south would be cheaper.

Friend of mine in upstate NY used to go to the reservation and buy these cigarettes that were a buck a pack/ten a carton.

55 bucks is a fairly significant amount of money...

and customs might have an issue if they ever see it, the thing is they dont get a chance to look at the vast majority of things shipped from overseas. PACT act gets rid of reservation cigs too

lets see if i get three cartons thats roughly $85 after shipping, so $28 a carton, ~$2.80 a pack. under $3 is a good deal on a pack that normally goes for $5 (i'm thinking morlboro reds, my favorites. although on most websites those are like $26 a carton, pall malls are like $16 a carton).

it'll get through no doubt, i was thinking about ordering from dutyfreedepot.com back when i thought cigs was the in thing lol

shit tobacco is grown in zambia and other parts of africa. i think most are counterfit [although im not certain] ive seen undercover videos of cig factoroies in russia making them, stuffing 400 packs/ min. people say it tastes like shit and doesn't burn normally.

didnt really see anything bad with those factories. cig manufacturing is pretty dirty in general. it seems a lot of these sites sell cigarettes based out of cz, which as some may know produces other surprisingly legit products.

No I was saying 55/carton isn't a terrible amount of savings I didn't think? Unless they are more expensive these days than I thought.

no your right, if you order one carton your not saving any at all. its when you get multiple cartons it starts to pay off, since the shipping is usually a flat rate the cost is split between however many cartons you get.
