Click on rolling tobacco then consultar precios.
My golden virginia went up from 4,85 to 6,75 €'s. Apparently the government want to get the price of handrolling tobacco in line with cigarette prices!
P.S The price for the tobacconist is the 1st column & the price in the 2nd column is the max. amount that can be charged by other outlets.

A pack of 20 cigs here in Ireland is €9 ....... Thank god I dont smoke.

Nine euros just for the privilege of reducing your life by sixty minutes.

If ciggies here are a third of the price in Ireland, does that mean our life is only reduced by 20 minutes?

[Beachcomber]

No, it just means that you reduce your life by 60 minutes for only three euros instead of nine!

Not that I wish to post on an old thread, but 100 gm of cigarette rolling tobacco - American blend is still €4.00. Brand name is called "Star American Blend."

That's correct - €4 for 100 gm. The tobacconist across from Hotel Mainake in Torre del Mar has oodles of it. I asked why it was so cheap. They have no idea.

Is this because it's not on the list of spanish tobaccos ?

[Mowser]

Yes!

[concorde]

Mowser, have you tried it?

[Mowser]

Yep. It's the same stuff I got in Frigiliana a few months back. It says "American Blend" on the packet but it smells a bit pipeish! Mild taste though.

I don't roll my own. I use one of these machines and buy the blank tubes.

My wife bought 160g tub of Ducal pipe tobacco yesterday , 9€, for rolling cigarettes & it's quite good.
