    how cheap were they. I got a suitcase load when I went to turkey years ago. they said they were 100% genuine, but the people I got it for said it was ok but they could tell the difference between it and the real deal.

    Thanks to Mickey

    well they look like the foreign packs we get so i would say they are genuine
    I was told a while back that the UK and the Foreign packs were actually slightly different blends which would account for the difference, this is something i think is correct from my own experience
    the UK ones are smoother, if that makes any sense
    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.

    I'm paying 10 each as the person I'm getting it from gets it from another person so I'm prob 3rd in the chain hence the price hopefully

    £10 is about average, if your closer to the source its usually around £7, i think each time they change hands either £0.50 or £1.00 get added one by each person

    Why are there two different packets? The logo on the bottom one doesn't match mine.

    BTW - Their retail price is on the back in Euros.

    My dad smokes GV and he said you won't know until you smoke it. He's bought a few packs that he says were as rough as a badgers arse.
    I understand and accept that some people hold opinions that are different to my own. Living in a free and democratic society, I fully embrace and respect their right to be wrong.
