When I lost my job I switched from my $8-$9 pack beloved camel blue 99s to Marlboro Black 100s. $4 per pack at Sheetz with coupon. They are not nearly as good and stain my fingers like I haven't washed my hands in days. Gotta be worse for me. I haven't switched back even though I got an even better job because paying that much for smokes is just stupid.

And yeah I travel a lot and know I have some of the lowest prices around. I always stock up before a trip.

Wow. I'm not a smoker so I didn't realise how cheap it was overseas. Accorfing to numbeo a pack of 20 Marlborough Reds costs about $30 US (according to my smoker friends it's about $50 AU depending on where you go). It's created a very lucrative black market in tobacco.

Here in the USA there’s been a lucrative cigarette black market for years thanks to states taxing them differently.

Folks going to Virginia from DC / MD would often take orders from friends.

Thank god I don’t smoke anymore.
