OhioJeff Posted May 11, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Anyone know the cost of smokes anywhere in the Eastern Caribbean? I dont smoke, but to assist those that will answer, you should list which brands you are interested in. Also bear in mind if the ship has the same brands, the will match any advertised price you find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sun prairie cruisers Posted May 11, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted May 11, 2010 The cost of Newport cigarettes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mferris77 Posted May 11, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Can't give you an exact figure but consider them to be very cheap. Taxes are very low to non-existent depending on the port you go to, and the cost of cigs is mostly federal/state taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mferris77 Posted May 11, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Oh and also keep in mind there is a limit to the amount of cigs (cartons) you can bring back through customs. I had 5 cartons but told them I only had 1.. wasn't aware of the penalties for lying at the time. Probably better to just tell them what you really have and they'll still let you through... the tax you would owe is not worth their time to fill out the paperwork.

cins240 Posted May 11, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I know in St Thomas there is a cig store near the pier that carries many brands. $109 for 5 cartons, the amount allowed from US ports only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sun prairie cruisers Posted May 11, 2010 Author #7 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I know they were very cheap in Cozumel and like you we bought more cartons than allowed back in but it seems as long as you are honest with customs we have never had a problem.

cruisekwazee Posted May 11, 2010 #8 Share Posted May 11, 2010 We had this discussion while we were in the Eastern, San Juan, St Maarten and St Thomas but I don't smoke so I didn't really pay attention. My friend said her sisters smoke and that was a really good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
