    I think thats pretty much tied up now, but if its tobacco your after take a cheap flight to majorca (€100ish) buy as much of golden virginia or the likes as you can, 10 x 50g packs for €37. You'll bring enough in one bag to pay for your flights and make a tidy profit!! THAT'S DUTY PAID IN CASE I GET BANNED!

    there was a good site - yesmoke.com but unfortunately it's closed now

    the following is on the page:



    the site you requested is no longer active

    Resolution of legal proceedings between Philip Morris USA and the former operator of this website has resulted in this domain name's transfer to Philip Morris USA.

    boo :(

    Did any u guys pay by bank transfer on that site? Just wondering what they mean by: Bank (not Online or PayPal) - would the transfer utility on aib 24 hour, or bank of ireland 365 not work? Also is the max order 200 ? Can you order 200 then order another 200 the same day?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,694 ✭✭✭Dingatron


    Mine should be due in the next day or 2. Hopefully that is! I'll let you know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 437 ✭✭Tech Overhaul

    I have ordered too, but haven't received any yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34 audrey


    theres also tabaccospain.com, u can get i think 800 for 185 euros but if u put an order in every month u get 10 uros knocked off,look at the site first ,u can also pay by postal order which is good


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,709 ✭✭✭BolBill


    Still no sign !!!!!! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,694 ✭✭✭Dingatron


    None for me yet either. :-( Give it a few more days and then go for a refund. I assume that if customs stopped them, they would let you know?

    nowt for me either

    If ye look at the previous threads there is on about buying cigs online. Basically the cheapest and safest way top get them is to go to www.yesmoke.cf (the .com one was closed down). Go for the slow delivery and it will get through most of the time. The problem with buying cigs online is that if they come by airmail they will nearly always be caught.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,362 ✭✭✭tw0nk


    got mine today! wahoo,whos yo daddy?

    why would they be stopped if its legal?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 299 ✭✭7mountpleasant


    when i say stopped I mean by customs while they verify the legality of the package.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,544 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    Got my first batch today :)

    So does that mean you can only buy a carton at a time?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,694 ✭✭✭Dingatron


    The way it works is that you can order as many as you want. You can only buy 2x20 as one package but you can buy 20 packages=800 cigs. I'd advise not to overboard though! They say that they ship one package per day although I did recieve all in one go today. I'm now off to get some more. :-)

    So what option do you chose on the website to get the slowest and most discreet delivery

    Just ordered some B&H..... hopefully it'll get mixed in with all the christmas post so the customs man don't see nothin !

    cheers for the link...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 565 ✭✭✭zokrez


    How do you order 40, as the minimum order seems to be 1 carton ? The site is Yesmoke.ch ? and not .cf ?

    I have received all my 200 cigs! I got 120 on Monday, the other 80 on Tuesday. Not bad for 12.55eur! :)

    Can you get Johnny Blue on holidays ??? No, hence, no. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 188 ✭✭Chopper


    Delivered this morning after exactly 14 days, All 200 came in one large brown envelope
    in the first post at 8am but postie wouldn't put it in the letter box.

    luckly enough I was home to take delivery !

    If it ended up back in the sorting office do you think it would be more likely to be caught by customs ?

    If you weren't there to take delivery it would have gone back to your local depot and they have nothing to do with customs so no is the answer.

    Enjoy your smokes!
