Prices In Liechtenstein/Germany?

Travel Info
Can anyone tell me and prove what they say.... i'd like to know the price of 20 cigarettes (Benson & Hedges Gold, Malboro Red, Embassy No 1 etc) in Liechtenstein and Germany. (I am travelling through a small part of Germany to get to Liechtenstein but don't know if i can stop there).

Also does anyone one know the customs rules for for buying outside the EU i.e. in Liechtenstein and then bringing back through Germany to the UK.

To all the points seekers and your stupid answers, please don't bother!

Travel Tips

Since Liechtenstein is outside of the European Union, the maximum limit that is allowed to be imported to the EU is 200 cigarettes. If you buy and attempt to import any more than 200 cigarettes and are found out by German police on entry to Germany, you will most probably lose your cigarettes and have to pay a fine.
There is (in theory) no limit on the amount of cigarettes that you can transport from Germany to the UK as both countries are members of the EU. However all purchased cigarettes have to be for your own personal use and so anything more than a 'reasonable' sum of cigarettes will arouse suspicion at UK customs if you are searched.

Best place is Andorra in Spain - it is an independent state. They're playing England at footerball [not sure if today, tomorrow, when]. The one thing you need to know about Andorra, apart from it being all up in the air and a ski destination, is that it has NO INCOME TAX. Not sure exactly how this relates to prices of goods in the shops or any VAT placed upon such goods. Worth checking out. There are apparently only two roads in and out of Andorra. One to/from France, the other, to/from Spain.
Germany: a pack with 17 Marlboro = 4Euro
Big Pack West with 25cig. 5,20euro

i dunno the prices in Lichtenstein. (ive heard cigarettes are cheaper there, but i have no confirmation)

you can "import" 200cig. from outside into th EU.
