Ive posted ciggies and no problem so far. I put them in a jiffy bag. 5.60 Euros to send. Worth it for the other person price come with ciggies 18 pounds sterling and 50 pounds per carton odd to buy ciggies in UK I think.

My friend sends cigarettes quite regularly. She uses a courier company and so far all the cigarettes arrived.

I don't want to sound old fashioned but isn't this highly illegal?

Well if following the absolute letter of the law, and the dubious British customs version, then yes it isn't entirely kosher.
But a wad of baccy in a jiffy bag is unlikely to get Spanish lad banged up in Alhaurin nick. However if his jiffy bag arrives intact with no comeback and he starts dreaming about containers then we will know what address to send his chrissy card to. 8)
