Is it legal to bring tobacco over the allowance in Bulgaria?
This rebuilt rule page keeps the answer, scope, and future source links in one obvious place, without pretending the row is fully researched before official sources are attached.
Quick answer
Legal position

Bulgaria's customs guidance treats passenger tobacco as excise goods carried in personal luggage and tied to personal-use limits. Tobacco over the allowance or outside the passenger framework should not be treated as freely admissible.
Conditions
What would need to be true
Keep the quantity within the passenger personal-use limits and comply with customs formalities for any excess.
Exceptions
Known carve-outs or edge cases
Passenger relief is for non-commercial quantities carried in personal luggage.
Penalties
Penalty snapshot
Excess excise goods can lose the passenger relief and be subject to customs and excise enforcement.
Enforcement

bring medical cannabis into a country
Bulgaria's customs guidance says foreign nationals may import medicines containing narcotic drugs under article 58 of the Drugs and Precursors Control Act, but only for treatment and with supporting documents. The same official guidance also says tetrahydrocannabinols are not allowed in medicinal products, so cannabis-based products need very careful verification before travel.
bringing duty free goods
Bulgarian customs recognizes passenger treatment for excise and other non-commercial goods carried in personal luggage within the applicable traveler rules. Duty-free treatment is therefore available only inside those official limits.
Compare this activity in other countries
This makes the rule page useful for comparison without creating a second data source.
Albania
Albania allows certain tobacco products in passenger traffic, but the customs relief is tied to passenger allowances and non-commercial personal luggage. Tobacco over the allowance loses the benefit of the passenger exemption and should be declared.
Algeria
Algeria's official customs leaflet allows only limited personal tobacco quantities on entry. Bringing more than the published passenger allowance is not duty-free and falls outside the simplified traveller relief.
Argentina
Argentina's baggage rules set duty-free limits for tobacco products such as cigarettes and cigars depending on the travel route. Bringing more than the allowance takes you outside the automatic exemption.
Austria
Austria allows tobacco to be brought in within traveller allowances, but goods above the allowance must be declared and duties become payable.
