Hi,Just wondering if i can buy golden virginia in sunny beach and is it the real thing? Olso, whats the allowance for bringing it back. Cheers, Dave.. DUNDEE.

yeah you can get Golden Virginia in SB, I saw it in a supermarket, I think its the equivalent to 200 cigarettes you can bring back, but sure you might not be stopped by the customs... I wasn%26#39;t!! Ha Ha!

Limit is 200 cigarettes or 250 grams of tobacco.

Best place to ensure you%26#39;re not getting fakes is the supermarket on artist street ( opposite side to where they are sitting )

DO NOT buy of street vendors no matter how good a bargain.

Limit is 200 cigarrettes but it appears you are allowed 3kgs of tobacco:

Copied from HMRC site:

From BULGARIA, LITHUANIA or ROMANIA - 200 cigarettes*

*No limit on other tobacco products as long as they are for your own use.

Bloody hell Helen, 3KG for your own use, it%26#39;ll last all year.

Hi

My husband bought golden virginia in the tobacco shop on the street of art last Friday. It is now 100 leva for a 10 pack. It was 90 leva when we were there last month. It is the real stuff.

as toonman says dont buy from street vendors,

dodgey gear from them. as for 100 lev, man its went up, I first went 4yrs ago, price for 200 victory about £6. tobacco was around same price, just shows what tourism does. puts prices up.......

watch where you are buying from, and enjoy you hols.

also risk a couple of 1000 fags, i got caought wi 4000, yes they were for personal use......

did they take them from you celtic%26gt;??

For your Information%26lt; Heres what the HM Customs say:

Alcohol or tobacco

If you are bringing in alcohol or tobacco goods and we have reason to suspect they may be for a commercial purpose, a Customs officer may ask you questions and make checks, for example about:

the type and quantity of goods you have bought

why you bought them

how you paid for them

whether all your goods are openly displayed or concealed

how often you travel

how much you normally smoke or drink or

any other relevant circumstances.

You are particularly likely to be asked questions if you have more than:

3200 cigarettes, 200 cigars, 400 cigarillos, 3kg tobacco, 110 litres of beer, 90 litres of wine, 10 litres of spirits, 20 litres of fortified wine (such as port or sherry).

From some EU countries there are limits on the amount of tobacco products you can bring back without paying UK duty.

From ESTONIA - 200 cigarettes or 250g of smoking tobacco*

From BULGARIA, LITHUANIA or ROMANIA - 200 cigarettes*

*No limit on other tobacco products as long as they are for your own use.

So Its up to you!!
