pie_and_a_pint Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'd bring them with you if you can - they'll be premium prices at the festival so if you're saving cash, bring your own stash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey1989 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Last yeah they were 6 or 7 quid I remember thinking not that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I think they are a tenner a pack ! But you do get a free lighter sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I have actually found them to be cheaper on site in the past? No idea why mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minstrol Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I bought 12.5g Amber Leaf last time there and it was actually cheaper than my local shop. Plus you get a nice tin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdm22 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I don't think i have ever not been offered packets of cigarettes at Glastonbury by people wandering around the campsites selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watsonjm Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Cigs were cheaper on site last year than in tesco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr gumby Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 They're around £7-8 depending on brand. You can sometimes get them in quite handy little tins, too, which stop them getting squashed when dancing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Can confirm - we usually buy tobacco on site as it's far cheaper than any of or local shops. I believe a tin of the Amber Leaf was £3.50 the last 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey1989 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I think they had the clicky pall mall for 7 not the nicest but ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacant0 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Last couple of years, they've actually been cheaper than in the shops - and you got the little tins with some of them as well. I've no idea why that is, hoping its the same this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swine_Glasto2014 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Cheaper than shops, FACT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakkkkobz Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yeah they were cheaper on site last year but sold in packs of 18 or 19 in the tins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyginger Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yup, cheaper on site. Not a massive selection but they had B&H in gold, silver and the dual ones which are nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 If you're fussy about brands then be warned. Normally they only have Camel, Lucky Strikes and B&H. I smoke Marlborough Lights so usually briung my own (then smoke them all and have to buy another pack on site). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpeee Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I paid less on site than in the shops beforehand. There is a place at the back of West Holts/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlos_londres Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Can you buy grinders of the herbal variety on site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverman Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I had a revolutionary moment at Glastonbury last year. It just dawned on me that out of all the drugs, tobacco was giving me the least bang for my buck. This from a 30 a day smoker. I must be one of the few people who actually gave up at Glastonbury. Saturday afternoon. Actually looking forward to my first tobacco-free Glasto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyuk Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 the general kiosks sell them, but theyre expensive - Im guesing 10-12 quid a pack, but there are a few sponsored kiosks around the place (I think there was one in the common) last year that sell Pall Mall and Amber leaf or maybe lucky strike for cheaper than you can buy in the shops.

paulo999 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 As others have said, the ordinary shops (yellow stalls) were cheaper than Tesco. Definitely not 10-12 quid, nowhere near it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoonerRob Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Can you buy grinders of the herbal variety on site? Yup, and all kinds of related items. Last year we got a bong, huge (30cm) RAW papers and a few blunt wraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Paolo. maybe i was just assuming there, but I'm sure I've paid way over the odds from the yellow festival supplies shops in the past (very distant past)...

Spindles Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Can you buy grinders of the herbal variety on site? Yeah, probably never more than 100 yards from a stall selling grinders and skins. Fags, baccie and cigars are cheaper onsite than at home these days, far cry from previous years where it was ludicrously expensive. As others have said, they tend to have amber leaf in the tins for as cheap as you'd pay for a regular pack. Papers and filters, etc are still pricey though.
