cigarette prices

Hi was wondering if anyone knows the recent the price of cartons of Marlboro? Thanks in advance!

Just off the Glory.  They were running a special - buy 3, get 4th free.  Total for 4 cartons was $117. and some change.  Not sure an individual carton price.  Hope this helps. This was the Nov 10th sailing, ending Nov 17th 2018

Be CAREFUL.   You are allowed 1 carton of cigarettes per person.  Underage dont count.  So by law you will need to pay duties on any extra.  Exception is buying in US territories you are allowed 2 per person.  I only bought 2 cartons on my last cruise and still got called in to customs.  I was good so they just let me go but others were having to pay duty on that 3rd and 4th.

Price is just less than half of what we pay at home.

The sign in the port at St Thomas said limit of 5 cartons if we bought in St. Thomas.  Depending on the brand, they were as lower than the ship price.

Tobacco Products: U.S. citizens age 21 or older are allowed up to 100 cigars (not of Cuban origin) and up to 5 cartons, or 1,000 cigarettes duty free, per person, if purchased in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Click here for more information from the U.S Customs and Border Protection website.

I read how people only pay a small amount by bringing back more then they are allowed.  Let me tell you I did not pay a small amount.  Granted it was a land vacation and maybe thats different.   I had 3 PACKS over the limit   packs  not cartons.  I had to pay 97.00    I asked if i could just throw them away and was told no I aready bought them across.    so be aware of what the allowance is.
