Default Re: EU Shipping?

Yes i agree, you cannot legally ship/post cigars from any EEU state to another without paying that countries import duties. As D. Generate says customs will confiscate it.

However if your physically purchasing in another EEU state and bring it back yourself to the UK thats allowed as you have paid duty in the country you have bought from.

I often drive to Calais where i will stock up on cigars, both NC's and CC's as they are significantly cheaper. For example one box of Romeo Y Julieta No2's in Calais are Euros 122 that same package in the UK is £220GBP upwards so thats a significant saving.. There are several walk in tobaks in Calais that you spend the day walking around, and grab ample singles and/or boxes and make a great saving.

Depending where you are in Germany, sometimes it stil pays to do that, i know Cigars in Germany are significantly cheaper, yet again. I go every summer camping and again i stock up with CC's and NC's
