    I know 12.5G is €4.20 and 25G is €8.80, so how much is a 50Gram pouch of Golden Virgina? Also are they commonly sold in shops?

    (I know prices are relative to your store but I am still very interested)

    So, it is cheaper to buy two 12.5g packs than a 25g pack?

    Well now that I think about it perhaps its just shops that iv been to but it definitely is better value.
    Personally I prefer the 25g/50g packs as the pouches are airtight and don't let your tobacco dry out much.

    In 25g pack it is AT LEAST €8.00 (This is assuming shops in Kilkenny charge a nice 80cent uncalled for profit on the normal rates.

    12.5g packs are 4.20 set price (As written on the box)
    They include 12.5g's of tabacoo and 50 rizzla green skins.

    So at that
    2*12.5g pack = 25g of tobacoo (€8.00 store price for this sold as one unit)

    Also included 2*50 Green Rizzla = €1.00 in a store.

    So with real world prices for my area below.



    €8.80 = 25g single unit pack

    €4.20 = 12.5g of tabaco and 50 skins valued at 50cent.

    €4.20*2 = 8.40 (+ the value of 2 free packs of skins worth €1 total)

    A bloke in the shop told me you're better off buying the 25g as the 12.5g weight includes the packaging. Not sure if he was just having me on or not but I got the 25g anyway, €8.90.

    In terms of the pouches being sealed, if I do buy the 12.5g box I just empty the tobacco into an empty pouch. Does the trick :)

    It broke my heart buying a 25g pack of Golden Virgina last week its been the first pack i bought in the shops since i started smoking rollies I used to get 50g for 5 euro. I was basically paying twice the money for half the pack haha. I cant get it for cheap anymore so I'll have to deal with it. A relative has seen 20 50g bags of GV for 68 euro in Spain complete madness, pity he didn't pick them up!
