The duty-free allowance depends on your home country — for example, Russia allows no more than 200 cigarettes per adult; also, suspiciously cheap packs ($2-3 each) are often counterfeit.

When buying cartons at local markets or duty-free, check your home country's import limit rather than local prices — for Russia, for instance, it's no more than 200 cigarettes per adult traveler.
