Smuggling Cigarettes from Kentucky (Marlboro $40-45 a carton) to Chicago ($95+ a carton) used to be BIG business. It was even bigger before Kentucky added a big tax. Any given Saturday the number of cars on US 41 with trunkloads of cigs is crazy.

The biker gangs run them out of North Carolina by the truckload, where they are even cheaper.

In Chicago on some trucking docks you can get them for $20.00.

I was on Tortola, British Virgin Islands, the other day. Packs of Marlboro Lights were $1.75.

Probably a better smuggling opportunity than drugs!!!
