*** wow, a carton of Camels here is 53 bucks (St. Paul, MN).***

$53.00 ?!?!? .. dam!
That would almost be worth the time and gas to drive from IL. Of course I'd have to file my 'Use Tax Fees' form and send money to the IL Treasury for anything more than 3 cartons (riiiiight).

If the Mob isn't thinking of this, $90.00 in Chi vs $53.00 in MN, they deserve to go out of business (the chi mob is now a shell of its once powerful self).

yeah, pretty high profit margin/motive there I’d say. That was the first thing I thought of as I typed it. almost $40.00 difference.

Sure looks like price gouging to me. Of course that can’t really be happening in the Big O’s hometown now can it?

I believe a carton is going for about $100 in New York, $10 a pack! New Jersey, my former state, (cough,cough) is around $75-80 or more. Pennsylvania was cheap until Obama, now they’re pushing $6 a pack here.

I smoke but have cut down my tax contributions by smoking less than a half a pack now..and yes, smoking is bad, but this is ridiculous.
