Have tried to remember as I bought one for my brother. I have a feeling that he paid me £36, so if you can work that into Euros you will be about there.
Having said that, it was a year ago so could be a bit more expensive now.

Woody 7171. A pack of 5ogram here is equivalent to 4.25UKP - so that about 21-25UKP for 5 packs (250grams). That is cheaper than Larnaca.
If you want me to I can bring you some with me when I get over for my recce trip which I hope will be this side of Christmas. Let me know and I can then send you a PM just before I fly out to arrange how many packs to bring you

I have taken small quantities, 10 pouches, in my suitcase across on a regular basis when travelling home, so far never been asked if I have any.
Think you will find Larnaca duty free prices online.

You may not have been stopped but others have and had their contraband confiscated, 40 cigarettes is all your allowed to take over the boarder, Larnaca duty free is expensive in comparison to this side, but I can't remember how much the tobacco was sorry
