My old neighbor was a smoker and while I was in the South Pacific Islands I got him a carton of Winnie Reds for looking after my cat - was only like $25 for 200 smokes.
They tightened up the restrictions of how much you could bring back so we used poor ol Nonna as the mule and she got past port security no dramas
