If you buy from within your own country, there is generally no issue. This may seem like a perfectly obvious thing to say, but some dealers will only ship to your own country, for example, if you live in the USA, there is www.discountcigarettesmall.com. They will only ship to the USA and list the States they will ship to. They sell European made versions of American cigarettes and import them cheaper then just buying a carton/sleeve from a local wholesale warehouse. Sounds crazy, but they dont pay tax (in the UK it would be VAT) on the product, so it can be sold cheap and still make a small profit on each one, say $7-$10. The cigarettes are not cheap copies - but made for Europe, and they are blended with slight variations on the taste from their US counterparts, but to an average smoker they might not mind the difference. Remember, non of the best tobacco ever leaves America, and all the best blended recipients, toppings and tastes stay at home, so while the rest of the world never gets to experience 'the real thing', American smokers may notice there is a difference.
All this is about saving the tax, which is still not the price of actual manufacturing costs but its something. The best way to save a fortune is to arrive at your local wholesale cash and carry, and register yourself as a shop. They dont care if you have a real shop or an online shop or no shop at all, as long as you fork over the cash. So if you went around your neighbourhood and came up with a few orders once a month, you could collect cheap cartons for yourself and provide for all your friends too. I've often dreamed of opening my own smoking store. But in the UK the packs are now mostly all leaf green and with grotesque images and false claims on them, so for me that dream is now never going to happen.
