It bugs me that they know they can jack up the price, and we'll pay it. They take advantage of us!

same thing with gas, right?

buy cigs from someone out of state (if it's cheaper), and have them shipped to you....is that legal?

I buy all my cigars out of state, I do go to local outlets for events and what not, but rarely (especially now that I am poor). Technically you are supposed to pay duty on out of state purchases and for that matter even reservation purchases, but it works on an honor system, you are supposed to call and volunteer to pay tax LOL

I'm probably going to have to quit once I move to Washington...the $3 / pack I'm paying here pisses me off as it is. Wife and I were visiting her sister a couple months ago...the Puyallup Fred Meyers charged me $6.08 for a single pack. Add to the fact that I'll probably still be job hunting when we move up there....

Oh well...have been looking for the final good reason to quit anyway.

VA taxes are pretty low, FL and PA have the lowest.

cigs are supposed to be like $5 a pack here, but cumberland farms sells my newports for $3.78 a pack, cartons are $37. But the normaly price is $50 for a carton.

oh and $50 will only buy you an 1/8 of decent weed... now if you move up $50 will barely buy you anything of the good **** like branson, haze, etc.
