OT: Hey Old Roy...

I recall you mentioning the price of cigarettes, last fall & that you couldn't find a cheaper brand that didn't make you hack your lungs out. I found a good cheap brand called 1839 (& NO I'm not here to promote brands or condone smoking!). There made with flue cured tobacco, are mighty tasty & about $2.50 cheaper in these parts. I do believe they have a non-filter, too. They don't have the non's at the smoke shop I go to but, they're checking on them & getting back to me on Tues. Wouldn't mind a good non-filter, now & again. The smokes shop is usually sold out of Camel non-filters because they are the only place in town that sells enough to keep 'em fresh. Also the only place in town for Chesterfields, which aren't bad either. Just thought you'd like to know my findings. Take care, Mike

1839's are made by the Flue Cured Tobacco Stabilization Corp. and they are good cigarettes.

Thanks guys the local mom and pop store about a mile and a half away are now selling the camels for
$7.22 including tax a pack.

Seven mile further down the road the co go that has changed their name to B-Z is selling same brand for $6.28a pack including tax seems like even with signs advertising at state minimum allowable pricing the stores or the suppliers can't get together on what that is .????

Since last year sometime I noticed also the ribbon to open them used to be red. I noticed some coming through with a clear ribbon and now all are clear.

I stopped in a Walgreen Pharmacy a few months ago,
and bought a pack , had a label on them saying "Original" ??? Had a red ribbon too !!

Noticed the difference in taste . I know they must be messing with the blend to make more profit. Wish I could prove it

Manufacturers had to take out the saltpeter that kept the cigarettes burning, so now they taste a little different and they will go out if you do not keep puffing. The originals were the last of the saltpeter laced ones.

It's not the cough that carries you off,
It's the coffin they carry you off in.
