The Moldovan nationals were brought before Dublin Circuit Court on charges relating to the seizure of 30 thousand 800 cigarettes at Dublin Airport last Saturday after the Marlboro Gold brand were found in their checked-in luggage.
The men, aged 26 and 27, pleaded guilty to evasion of excise duty with intent to defraud the state.
They were given suspended sentences on condition they left Ireland within 24 hours and were fined 2,500 euro each.
The smuggled cigarettes have a retail value in excess of 16,000 euro, representing a potential loss to the Exchequer of almost 13,000.
