stargazer Posted March 5, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2009 We normally buy our cigarettes (UK brand, Silk cut) on St. Maarten at around $15 a carton but our cruise next month does not include this Island so wondered if anyone could tell me which of the following Islands has the cheapest UK cigarettes: Aruba, Bonaire, Grenada, Dominica, St. Thomas Any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDebbie Posted March 6, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Never bought UK cigarettes but we found US brands at St Thomas at a very good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Charlie Posted March 6, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Probably St. Thomas. It's part of the US Virgin Islands. I believe you can bring back 5 cartons (1,000 cigarettes) each. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv322 Posted March 6, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 6, 2009 St.Thomas definitely. (go shopping at A.H.Riise) I never noticed brands I was unfamilar with, such as those that might be specific to the UK...although coming to think of it...Benson & Hedges may be British, hmmm?

griffy Posted March 6, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The prices on the ship itself are great....5-cartons sold in this huge honker of a box that looks like a pack of cigarettes, but I'm not familiar with UK brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted March 7, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Thanks for the information, it is proving so hard to get information about cigarettes, I think smokers are a dying breed and definitely not popular as some of the comments I received on other message boards has proved to me....

kentlady Posted March 7, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2009 We are from the uk and think we must be on the same cruise as you in April. Although we don't smoke our children do and last year bought english cigarettes for them really cheaply in St Thomas, from memory they had a few different brands to choose from so will probably do the same again this year.

kentlady Posted March 8, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Sorry to take so long to reply but had computer problems and could'nt get on the site. Yes we are on the 19th April sailing, really looking forward to it. This will be our 2nd cruise, we were on the Crown in October last year and thought it was wonderful.
