I found the average price of Marlboro Lights (only) in Moscow, but no
information on St. Petersburg. Is this ok as an answer?

Hi,
if you have found street price of a 20 cigarette marlboro pack it's ok for me.
The price i'm interestead in is the official price of a duty paid pack
bought at authorized stores.

Please specify what kind of marlboro cigarettes your price is refered
too... RED, lights?

Thanks

The best information I could find was a document dated April 2005 in
which a 20-count pack of Marlboro Light cigarettes on the Moscow
retail market is listed as 0.90 Euro or roughly $1.07 US Dollars.

Since no other more current information seems to be forthcoming please
let me know if this data will suffice as an answer.

Thinking of buying from cigmall?

NOT a good idea!

See:

In any case, in most countries, it is illegal to import cigarettes
(including buying them off the Internet), without special permits (and
paying duties, of course). I am sure that biggi-ga here did not intend
to do anything illegal.

You should understand the western brand cigarettes sold in Russian and
other central/eastern European countries are not imported but produced
there and are not identical with the western products (Marlboro, tar:
21.5 vs 16).
