There is no such thing as an allowance now, though the recommended allowance was 3200 cigarettes and 3kg of tobacco plus cigars etc.
It no longer has to be just for personal use and can be brought back as gifts, though not for "payment in kind".

Superkings €30
Lamberts €29.50
B&H's €31

GV €45 (10x50g)
Drum €38 (10x50g)
Turner €20 (10x40g)

There are two main tabac shops I know of.
One is across the main road from the Royal Sun down some steps,the other is at the end of the road where the English bars are situated on the roundabout.Do not know what stocks are kept

Hi Legospice. I've just come back from Santa Susanna. If you come out of the Royal Sun hotel and turn right towards Malgrat, there is a tabac shop about five minutes away just down a short flight of steps. It is very well stocked, and i'm sure they will be able to supply all that you want. P.S Dont forget to ask for some freebies, i got a bottle of whisky, and loads of cigarrette, papers and lighters etc. Enjoy your hol. Bill.

Thank you for the directions and the info guys, i will remember and ask for some freebies, as mother always says "you dont get if you dont ask".

Don`t ask for lighters, they will be confiscated at the airport. I think you may be allowed two per person

Can you still buy smokes in Vending machines & supermarkets or do you have to goto the 'Tabac?'
Reply
some pubs still have vending machines, but they are usually controlled by the bar staff as they have to ascertain that you are of an age to buy them.
i know some of the smaller shops still sell cigarettes, but there are a lot of fakes about -which you dont get in the tabac's- so if you do buy there make sure they have the government stamp on them;

Just got back from Spain, all be it a litlle further south than Costa Brava, and thought I would just up date this post. I was shocked at the huge price hike in tobacco. Lambert and Butler 33 euros and rolling tobacco 4.5 euros for a 50g pouch. At the end of May this year, only 8 weeks ago, I paid 2.5 euros for Amber leaf!!
