jeniceglassman Posted August 1, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Pall Malls were $20 , others $34 per carton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted August 1, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I seem to remember the 34 per carton range sounds about right. There was a discount of a couple of dollars for buying 2 cartons, and a couple of more dollars per carton if you bought 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthangl Posted August 2, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Can you bring a carton on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted August 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yes, but to me it makes more sense to bring just a pack or two and smoke the duty free ones while on board and in port. Also bring home the allowed number of duty free cartons per adult. Even if debarking in Texas where you have to pay the state tax, the federal tax is not charged.

Djptcp Posted August 3, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 3, 2015 DH and I just sailed on the Sensation and my brand, Benson & Hedges, cost $69 for 2 cartons, so $34.50 per carton. I pay around $60 a carton at Walgreen's at home, so quite a savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peymas Posted August 4, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I am cruising from Galveston in November and found out that Texas state taxes are $15 on one carton of cigarettes. $1.50 per pack. That really increases the cost of the cigarettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is less than the ship plus Galveston tax - don't buy them for home. But, I'm sure they aren't $34.50. Bring two packs from home to smoke while ship is in port. Buy a carton to smoke while on board. If you have any packs left pay the tax. Most likely you will still come out ahead BTW, the price for a carton of Marlboro Red is $78.64 in NJ.....

OCruisers Posted August 4, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 4, 2015 If you just want one pack they were $4 for a single pack in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peymas Posted August 4, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 4, 2015 IL cigs are about $60 a carton where I live. We live about 1 1/2 hours from Paducah, KY and go there every 2 months or so to eat and shop and I get my cigs there. They are about $50 a carton there. So, $34.50 + $15 Texas Tax it would be about the same. I always buy them on the ship when cruising out of Florida. Guess I will check out the price when I get on at Galveston in Nov.
