Hi

It all depends on where you are flying out to.The cheapest is in ercan airport or in the local shops but if you are flying in to larnaca you run the risk of having them confiscated at the green line border on the way home as the greeks do not take to kindly you buying then in trnc . but thats risk you take, i had all mine taken from there. If flying in to larnaca buy enough for your stay at the shop as you leave customs and then buy loads at ercan when you return home.

If you fly back via ercan to the uk,beware of the customs at Stansted as they are targetting Isanbul and ercan flights. Because tobacco and cigs are so cheap in ercan duty free (non eu),people were stocking up big time. One lady had a case full when she was stopped,all confiscated !!!
