When they were that price in my neck of the woods I was probably 10 years old and that was 68 years ago

Youve done well! Got me by 10 yrs.

Theres always that one..

Is that pot ,or tabbacco? Just asking!

You aint Rolling à pack of blunts for 1.19!

About 9 in NC. A tobacco state. When i started smoking in high school they were about 1.25 to 1.50. Marlboros. At 48 they are working on me i really need to give em up costwise and healthwise

Wowzers smokes got pricey!
I remember we used to save all the “miles” off the Marlboro packs and send those in for free crap: got duffle bags. Fold out felt lined card tables, lighters, all kinds of stuff. My wife and I picked up every pack we found and tore the miles tabs off. We sent in bags of those at a time and got piles of crap in the mailed
One time we got a free carton of Marlboros too. Like manna from hesven when we were ooir and just stating out I life.

Years ago, work took me through Virginia (as I recall) and Copenhagen was 99 cents a can and Camels were around $3 pack. That was less than 25% of the cost here at the time and I spend a BUNCH of money stocking up for the crew.

Yes.its just been the last few years theyve got outrageous. Tobacco paid a lot of bills in this area including on the place i live on but its going out. The sandy loam soil here is great for tobacco and sweet taters

Sin tax

With prices so high on cigarettes, they'll be more people, like Eric Garner, arrested for selling loosies. He was an earlier version of George Floyd, who died from self inflicted medical conditions, during a lawful arrest, that led to massive riots anyways.

My generation is probably the last that will remember good times hand cropping a row beside a hatian in the next row with a lot of knife scars on him lol
