    Used to work in Duty Free many years ago. All damaged cigs/cigars and alchol had to be distroyed and on many occassions i got the job with Customs standing over me. Nothing like pouring a £100 bottle of brandy down a drain and stamping on a £500 box of cigars.

    Aren't the cigarettes they confiscate in bulk, the cheap knock offs, made from some fashion of crap tobacco unlike the real cigarettes which are made from "safer" tobacco. Thats why they destroy them, because they can't garantee their content.
