We travel to NC often. Just a few years ago the cigs were seriously cheap. Every trip I would buy cases to bring back for myself and friends. Then the prices kept going up....NC is a state that will "tax you to death and after", trust me when I say, they have taxes on everything, and please don't die there, they will tax you to do so.
Sorry, off topic, needless to say, I was always afraid that we might get stopped for speeding and get caught w/ cases of cigs. Don't have to worry about that now...the cigs, I mean. Still worry about the speeding, my husband named our conversion van, Jet Blue for a reason. He's like Ricky Bobby....."I wanna go fast"!
