Tobacco products:200 cigarettes or 100 cigarillos (cigars with a maximum weight of 3 g/piece) or 50 cigars or 250 g of smoking tobacco. Any of the above tobacco products may be combined, without exceeding the total limit.

When I went back March a mate asked me to bring him 10 pouches of golden Virginia . I don’t smoke so just bought 10 pouches . First time ever I was stopped at Gatwick airport and told I had double the limit . My fault I had 10x50g double the allowance . I said I was sorry and explained my mistake and the chap let me off . Never again will I take stuff back . I thought they may make me pay or confiscate them . Lucky for him and me .

You were very lucky as many have had large fines for genuine mistakes.

Sounds like your border force official used a bit of common sense.
