From 1st October, Customs Officers can stop you in Customs and check the quantity of cigarettes & tobacco that you are bringing into the UK.
The recommended guidlines have NOT changed, BUT, if you have more than 800 cigarettes, or more than 1Kilo of tobacco, questions will be asked and if Customs are not satisfied with your answers, they will be confiscated, or you will have to pay the duty. Previous to 1st october it was 3200 cigarettes.
They will also take into account how often you travel and when your next trip is planned.
