Shrubbery Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 A month or so ago there was hardly any cigs on sale because of some dispute.Are Benson & Hedges back on the racks?

thaiflyer1 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Came thru on the 17th Sept.............Bensons are available but have the "cancer" photos on the packs and they are limiting them (or were then) to 2 cartons a person. No Lamberts though at that time. Could do with a more current update myself, if anyone knows the position as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew back on the 6th Sept, no Bensons, and they limited myself, but got the oldest daughter and the wife to buy 2 outers, so got my 6 outers, also could not find any golden virginia.

They had Golden Virginia on the 17th...5x50gm pouches for 640 baht. Seems to be hit and miss as to what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuky Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Flying in, isn't it just as cheap to buy them from your local 7 or Mum and Pop shop? I can understand buying them duty free if your flying back home where they may be as much as 300-400 baht for a pack but flying to countries where they are as cheap as they are in Thailand what is the point? Actually, I do understand if you need to smoke a particular brand, for myself I just choose to smoke Marlboro as they are available where ever I am in the world.

If you smoke American blended cigarettes it's not really a problem, but for those who like British style Virginia cigarettes it is. Though I don't smoke myself, I can assure you that the B & H available in the local shops are not the same as the duty frees which are manufactured back in Europe. This subject was touched on in the "rogue officials thread" where one poster stated that 555's were the same as Benson back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyGreaves Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Ok. So what is the problem for ever they were fully stocked and now it is hit and miss. WHY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiflyer1 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Ok. So what is the problem for ever they were fully stocked and now it is hit and miss. WHY? Only a guess but i bet King Power "forgot" to pay one or two suppliers before they were booted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartempion Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 stopped last friday at the KP thieves market on my way out, no Malboro a sign said, but then I don't smoke Never had the intention to buy anything there anyway, flight out was delayed for 40 minutes, had time to lose wandering around.

Juzrelax Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I was at the airport yesterday. B & H is available, no Malbro's or L&M's to be found anywhere, I thought that was quite strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
