I recall a friend of mine smoking cigarettes smuggled from Belarus back in 2006 costing 2,30PLN a pack, so less than €0,60 at the time.
Considering how light the product was, that translated to ~€20 per kilogram, with about 20% of this figure being the cost of third rate tobacco stuffed into those cigarettes.
The smell was distinctly foul, but he was happy with the bargain he got on them.
- MisterTea 1y agoIf they are anything like Belomorkanal then they must be desperate. A Russian friend brought a carton back years ago claiming they were about $0.60 a pack. Man were they absolutely vile.
