I dont smoke (cigarettes) so Im no expert... however, I understand that fags have a fixed suggested retail price which acts as a minimum price reference. I would be willing to bet a box of Cubans that the Kiosko at EZE charges more than a regular Kiosko you will find on any street corner.

This is derived from my experience in that just about anything you buy at EZE (and the same is the case for most airports) is a royal ripoff....

Have I just dated myself with the use of the archaic form for cigarettes......????
