Smokers still light up in AMM, and this shop feeds that habit
By T1 standards, Cigarettes and Tobacco Shop is straightforward: cartons, sleeves, and some loose packs aimed at Royal Jordanian and regional connections. It sits airside in Terminal 1, tied into the duty‑free pricing, so you’re looking at better rates than most city shops in Western Europe, but not always cheaper than downtown Amman. Figure on carton pricing in the mid-range Gulf bracket rather than rock-bottom Dubai numbers.
Stock skews to big-name brands you’d expect on a Middle East route map: Marlboro, Camel, LM, plus a chunk of local and regional labels that regulars buy for flights to Cairo, Beirut, and the Gulf. Don’t expect pipe or cigar depth; this leans hard into standard cigarette volume. Payment is straightforward with cards and Jordanian dinars, and they’re usually open from early morning first departures to the last late‑night Royal Jordanian bank.
FlyerTalk regulars talk about AMM as a cigarette and spirits top‑up stop, nothing more. They grab a couple of cartons between long‑haul sectors and head straight for the spots in the concourse where smoking still happens, commenting that the haze feels like “a throwback to times I thought have passed.” That tells you the target customer: transit smoker, not casual browser.
Tip: price out your home duty‑free before flying; if your route runs through T1 twice on a return Royal Jordanian ticket, the smarter move is often to buy one carton on the outbound and another on the way back rather than overloading your allowance in one go.
