I was hoping this thread would be a stop smoking thread but it seems to have morphed into a "were the cheapest ciggies are sold thread"!!!

But I must admit the cost of ciggies over here was one of the reasons I took so long to quit once getting here, they are too cheap if you ask me, as an ex-smoker of course!

I think the local store had a special of 3 packs of Marlbro and a lighter for $10, bloody draw is full of lighters!

I roll my own, Drum tobacco. $3.80 per pouch and I can easily get 50 cigarettes out of one pouch. That's like 7.5 cts per cigarette.

Of course us smoker's who read this thread will end up talking about the price, if you stay around you will soon see that threads will stray a little but most of the time alot
