I started smoking Mavericks (sometimes menthol sometimes lights) llately b/c Marlboros went up to ~$5.00 a pack with tax. In my state we used to like how we had cheap cigs, but now prices are bullshit just like a lotta places.
I'm not devoted to any brand though. I smoke Parliaments alot cause my girl gets them and they're free. Sometimes I'll buy Camel Lights (found out last time that they're nasty now, the ones with the camel and the line were dank), Camel Crush, Newports, Marlboro 27's, or Kools. Pretty much the only cigs I won't buy are Basic and GPs. With the GPs especially, I can't get a hit for shit. If I ever quit smoking, I'm going o switch to GPs first to taper-down.
Have cig prices increased in other states lately? Or was that just my state?
