    I would like ask people since 23 B&H cigarettes were introduced with a before budget price : did you notice the price has increased to 10 euro and does the barcode on the plastic coating of the cigarette packet differ from the barcode on the actual pack?
    I have just noticed this tonight and I do not know whether that is legal or not.
    Apologies to non smokers. I just can't figure this out.

    The barcode on the actual package on B&H 23's differs from the plastic coated barcode. I would just like to make people aware of that.

    The barcode has nothing to do with the price charged. It is just a means of identifying the product. When the barcode is scanned, the system says "Packet of B&H cigarettes" and then it goes and looks up the price stored by the retailer for the cigarettes.
