Interesting thread.

My friend from Bolton always takes 10,000 cigs back with him. He has been stopped at customs once out of 22 trips he has made. All they did was confiscate his cigs.

Another teacher friend of mine here sends 6,000 back to the UK every month - once again he has 'lost' one consignment out of 14.

Worth the risk I would say.
