Hi,

Definitely avoid the cigarettes they sell on the beach. You can buy cigarettes in the shops for about 3.5TND (about £1.70) for a pack of 20. (Tunisian cigarettes eg Mars are cheaper). 'Proper' packs should have a blue ticket on the side of the flip top. Any others are either fake or duty frees that are being sold on.

I smoke Superkings in the UK and Royales in Tunisia as they are very similar in size and taste. I paid 2.900 a packet last week in most places. I always buy them at the kiosks (never the street sellers). They don't sell them at the airport though. Someone I know got a load of Mars confiscated at the airport last year and also had his passport marked to say he couldn't take any cigarettes out of the country in future. His Tunisian son-in-law now sends him 1,000 every so often and has never had a problem. If that isn't crazy I don't know what is!
