Geographically, Portugal today has its shape and general physical condition because of millennia of climate and geological changes.

As a country, Portugal is culturally the way it is because of many centuries of human history, resulting in a rich cultural mix evident in every Portugese person, in all walks of life.

Portugese people outside Portugal, whether Portugese-born or overseas-born, show similar distinctive characteristics to those living in Portugal, but with extra dimensions which differ from place to place, so a Brazilian Portugese and a Macau Portugese will have many things in common, but also many differences.

Each Portugese person carries part of Portugal in them, no matter where they are born or where they travel.

These characteristics are equally true of and relevant to those born, or originating from, any place on Earth.

How many pouches of tobacco can you bring back from Portugal into the UK?

This is a very contentious area with many people at present.

Officially you do not have to pay any duty on tobacco products bought, with tax paid, in another EU country. Though there are certain restriction with some, Estonia for instance, and with some island territories. Check this carefully.

There is no limit if it is bought for personal use or as gifts and you have carried it yourself.

If you cannot convince them it is for personal use then they will confiscate it.

You can appeal, but this can be a lengthy process, by which time the tobacco will have been destroyed. You can ask for compensation but this involves litigation, which can be expensive.

Similar restrictions are place on alcohol.

The Customs officials will ask questions if you have a van full or a boot/trunk full or an attempt has been made to hide it.
