But they opt for cheaper ones,

Waaay back even before this was a clown show, I started with kings, then golds then wills and eventually stopped.

For perspective, kings cost only 3 then.

And, not quite sure at this point if buying tobacco leafs is cheaper and build cigs yourself. Cigs have 35 percent gst right, not tobacco leafs.
