$$'s of smokes in your areas

[lasttango]

I used to get a carton of OLD GOLDS for $9.00 on a Native American Reservation in New York State. This was in the mid 1990's.

But I was a Camel Lights/Merit smoker anyway.
By the time I quit in DE they were just $5.15 a pack.
In NEW YORK they were $8.80$

All packs for $4.10 here in Okinawa PX. Kools were my brand.

Where I used to buy my marl lights is @$7.5 a pk-- taxes just went up again. Newports run @ $9~
Glad to be done with all that!

Wisconsin here, Milwaukee area.

Packs are anywhere from $6.25 up to over $7

Seems to be all over the place, but I have actually spent over $10 in bars to get a pack.

Wow. I had no idea prices were so much cheaper in other states...guess that is part of our SIN TAX!

Would be really curious to know where all that tax money is going...

Meh.

$8.50-9 in Chicago

Know what really makes me mad, first they add on a sin tax on them, then they tax me again on the higher price. Paying tax on the tax.......

Here in NM the new 'sin tax' was just increased July 1st. One of the big reasons we decided to switch to e-cigs. A single pack is now around $7, multi pack special might save you $1. Last I saw a carton was $56 but haven't looked at that since January.

Last pack I bought was 6.25 for Newport in Fl. I was paying about 49.00 a carton. Not sure what they are now , that was 3 months ago.

I'm from NC. The last carton I bought (early November 2009) was $43.00. I don't think that prices have changed much since then. I smoked Doral.

I live in Las Vegas and we have an Indian Reservation on the edge of town. Their prices are the cheapest which was about $37 a carton for a name brand, but no sales tax on top of that. Other stores charge the 8% sales tax.

For the last year I was actually ordering cigs from Russia. With the shipping it was only about $20 a carton, but that was for a generic brand I have never seen in the states!

A pack of Marlboros runs $5.50 a pack where I live in Ohio.

 

[MitchellBeans]

Damn! It's only been about a year since she told me that about the eight bucks
What the heck is going on up there, man?

Its known as "The Patterson Effect" ... that guy has proposed taxing basically everything known to man. I bet he would tax bathroom breaks if he knew how...

 

[Cyia]

I smoked the cheapest of the cheap. Exeters are $18.00-$25.00 a carton and average about 2.75 a pack and that is here in Missouri

I don't know what cigarettes cost in Texas now and I don't give a damn. I was smoking 3-4 packs a day. My wife also smoked and we burned up 6 or more packs per day. All I can say for certain is that we don't spend anywhere near as much for ecigs.

 

[J-ShaZzle]

Around $8 where I live. I'm pretty sure they climb 50 cents every 6 months to a year in NJ. Always cheaper just to go to Philly and get a couple of packs. Not anymore thnx to vaping, lol.

If you are paying $40 a carton in VA you definitely aint shopping at 7-11. Most c-stores are above $5 a pack.

I definitely never shop at 7-11 if I want to pay a decent price on anything. Last time I checked the local Food Lion Marlboro Reds, what I used to smoke, were $42 a carton with one of their MVP store cards. I'm in Norfolk so I doubt the prices in Va Bch are much if any different.

 

[jiveman]

it's gonna be like $9.10 in new york now right?
sooo glad i quit. i'm by the reservation, and 5.50 a pack was killin' me.

did you guys hear how they momentarily seized a truck full of native cigarettes the other day for no reason at all? a lot of the senecas i talked to think it was a retaliation for them challenging the ruling on mailorder cigs. we may be in for a war down here by the reservation pretty soon. it's getting crazy, the natives are so ......, and rightly.

A couple years ago I was ordering cigarettes from India or some eastern country. They were costing around $12 a carton. The problem is, the U.S. border patrol confiscated them. I received a letter from U.S. Customs and Immigration warning me that if they confiscated anymore cigs that were destined to me, I would face criminal charges. I never ordered more than 1 carton at a time. After that, I oredered them from an Indian reservation in New York and then eventually rolled my own for around 85c per pack. I could still be rolling for less than $1 per pack, so I'm really not saving any money. But, there are other reasons not to smoke.

Here in the SF Bay Area the price of a pack is about $5.50 - $6.50 depending on where you go. Most gas stations are right around 6 bucks.

I'm in Texas, and still buy cigarettes for my wife from time to time. A carton (Marlboro's) here is about $53 with tax.
