My wife and I are both smokers and here in OH, it cost about $60 for a carton.
Several years ago we bought a machine that single roles cigarettes. We buy loose cigarette tobacco from a local tobacco shop along with tubes (with filters). The tobacco cost about $11 and the tubes about $2 a box of 20. So, with a little time spent on the rolling machine (about 20 min. per carton) and less than $20, we get about three cartons.
And the tobacco is without preservatives and other government introduced junk.
I’m sure the Feds are hot on the trail of this and our cheap pleasure is doomed in the near future.
Then you can buy at the local Indian reservation.
The scum sucking slime bags are probably already scheduling a no knock raid on your house, so be careful.
