You weren't complaining last night. In fact, I believe you found it difficult to talk with your mouth full. :biggrin:

You really should pay attention. I get my facts about your extremely small penis from my slutty mother. Of all the thousands of cocks she has seen, yours is the tiniest. She was, literally, in awe of your minuscule little nub.

I'm trying to think of who you must have me confused with, as to who was trying to coax that laughable excuse for a cock into some form of erection, last night... Amused? Guyver?

:hmm:

NYC here too. I'm going to Miami on business in a few weeks and will be picking up cartons at the "Indian" reservations just west of there. FL standard prices are pretty cheap compared to NYC, the reservations are probably 1/3 of what we pay here. Can anyone in FL let me know what current rates are at the reservations?

Hi dudes,

Can anyone confirm the average price of cigarettes in Pennsylvania? I've pondering the idea of taking a $20 Chinatown bus after work to pick up a few cartons.

I feel like a revolutionary.

$20! wow its used to $12...

Re: ordering cigarettes online.
(Sorry to my Seneca neighbors, i.e. part of the Seneca reservation is about 2-3 miles from my back yard)

Don't do it. Especially as a NY resident. NY is going after those taxes & is going to do everything it possibly can to get them. Subpoenaing records from the Senecas, getting records from credit card companies, etc. I've already heard reports of people receiving a bill from Albany for "you owe this for taxes you haven't paid on cigarettes you've purchased." (A lot of people around here drive to the reservation; I'm guessing they were found out via credit or debit card records. I've heard of people owing hundreds in back taxes.) Of course, the rumors of people receiving such bills is 2nd hand knowledge, so I'm slightly skeptical - but the people telling me this are generally pretty trustworthy.

If you drive out of state or to the reservation, pay CASH. aka no physical record. If you order online, there's a record of them being sent to your address.
Holy shit! That is crazy. Not a big surprise though. So many damn scumbums in the NY government.

I live like 10 minutes north of the PA border and I've been getting fucked buying $9+ packs of cigs here. Never went to PA to get them. If I ever was there buying any I'd probably use cash after hearing that.

Man cigarette smokers are worse than crack heads. What kind of weak minded fool drives out of state and pay his good money for those smelly things? Also add the fact that you are slowly killing yourself and developing emphysema.

May be the OP can glean some info out of this thread. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2110127&highlight=

I decided not to buy cigs here in WV and mail them to my friend in NJ. Yeah, the chances of getting caught are slim to none if I put a false return address on the package, but I just didn't feel right about it. I and he would be breaking federal postal laws and NJ laws. He told me this would be a one time thing but I doubt that.

Some states, i.e., MI, NJ, NY, OH, have subpoenaed on-line overseas cigarette vendors for their customer records and are sending those in their state letters demanding unpaid cigarette taxes.
Not sure how the Senneca smoke shop handles their records. You could pay by postal money order, but they must keep records of where the cigs were shipped.

That's a pretty damn fine idea, actually. Do you find that they taste better, as well?

Problem is, my father lives with me and just quit smoking after 60 years. I'm leery of keeping a cigarette-making mchine around! :)

Yes, they taste more like just tobacco than a "cigarette" IMO. I've been told they don't smell as bad either from non-smokers. Stop in at a tobacco shop and tell em what brand you normally smoke and they should be able to show you which brand/flavor tobacco to look at and should make one up for you to try if you ask.

I didn't reply earlier since the thread got so off topic, but American Spirit is a good rolling tobacco, and I prefer it to any American pre rolled. I wouldn't get a machine or anything. Maybe a canvas roller type when starting out, but handrolling on an as needed basis is better. It's easier, and you don't smoke as much since it takes a bit of time to roll a cigarette. Machines, especially tube stuffers are tedious to use when rolling a bunch ahead of time.
