Duty free Schiphol Airport

[heart-of-wessex]

Has anyone bought tobacco from Schiphol airport to the UK recently?

I'm just wondering how much roughly a 250g box of GV would cost, I can't find much info online.

Just wondering whether to get a box or if its pricey, just pick up a couple of 50g pouches from the supermarket landside instead.

Any help appreciated

James.

No Duty Free Tobacco Holland/UK. Duty/Tax Free Airport Shops are a Rip-off. Within the EU I've always found it cheaper to buy in a local store. On my last trip to the Canaries Wine and Tobacco was 50% cheaper in the local shop than the Airport, and, unlike Holland/UK the Canaries do Duty Free, (with the incumbent limits). Much bigger choice as well in the local stores.

I know last time I picked up a cheap box I was told I can't unless I was going out of the EU, I was pointed to the ones I could get within the EU but I couldnt remember how much it was.

There is a supermarket landside so I might see how much packets are there, will be spending this weekend at Schiphol so won't be going into Amsterdam itself.

Usually I opt to be a courier on our coach day trip to Guernsey so I can get duty free on the boat, but we only do it once a year.

Might have to drive to Poole one weekend and do a return trip to Guersney

Still, I wonder after brexit if that will change things?
