Have you ever smoked?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Wow. Average national price for a pack of cigarettes is about $8.00. That is 400X over inflation for what cigarettes cost when I was a teen and first took up smoking. A pack of smokes today should really cost between $2.50 - $2.90 a pack.

A big part of that cost is taxes. They tried taxing it out of existence.

I smoked only intermittently and was not into cigarettes; but I really liked my pipe. I settled on a Balkan Sobraine and quit not long after they stopped importing it into Australia. I miss it sometimes but meh; such is life.

But haven't smoked in ten years.

That's some good stuff. Hard to come by. Latakia blend. I think I might have a tin or two of it downstairs.

Stuff tends to be cheap like that until the government decides to step into something and get involved.

No taxes on cigs on military bases at that time. Thank you Unkle Sammy.
