I smoked More Menthol 120 for years! No other cigarette could compare. Well, last year, when Maine raised the cigarette taxes ONE MORE TIME, and they went up to about $50 dollars a carton, we beat it down to the local Smoke Shop. I have been rolling our own a year this past June.
I buy menthol tobacco in a bag, and they taste GREAT! I feel like you: maybe it's all in the mind. But at least we aren't paying into the state coffers anymore. FEELS GREAT! And the savings is phenomenal.
