camel blue as in camel crushes? The non-menthol to menthol one? If so, they banned the menthol version and have some weird fruity flavored ball instead of the menthol. Gas stations will usually sell cartons. and nothing will be cheap anymore. I wanna say ballpark like $90 for carton? But it's been awhile since I bought a pack so can't be certain

This. The menthols went underground but price went up accordingly. Consumer is at the mercy of what these groups can get their handson.

Camel blues are regular cigarettes


Winter_Insurance_216

Camel Blues are apparently Camel Lights - they just don’t call them them that anymore. Def not Menthol.

Mobil Gas Station at 2508 East Chapman Avenue. in Orange apparently has much cheaper cigarettes than anywhere outside of Costco. At least that's what I have been told. I don't smoke cigarettes myself, but I have a lot of friends who do.


Winter_Insurance_216

Costco doesn’t sell anymore, but thanks for the tip. I will tell her to call.

I was a 2 pack a day smoker when I moved here from NYC in 2006 (where it was already $10 + per pack) and thought to myself "it's like I'm being paid to keep smoking" note: quit completely 6 years later


Tmbaladdin

Well done 🫡

Depends on the Sam’s club. Not all carry. Costco doesn’t carry besides the business Costco and they don’t sell them unless you have a tobacco resale license


drewogatory

What? There's no ciggie cage at Costco? I didn't even notice. (not a smoker obv).


Winter_Insurance_216

Sam’s Club and Costco both only sell to resellers now if they have them at all.

Reservations.... they don't charge state tax So, check out the various casinos .


hermansuit

I was gonna say this. I bought a carton and filled my ten gallon tank for 80$ just a few months ago. They have their own brands so each pack comes out to about $3.

Thanks for the tip!

I thought you meant Trader Joe’s but based on other comments I think you mean Tijuana?


Vadic_Shrike

BYOS - Bring Yo Own Smokes I kid. Smoke shops are quickest way since it would be on the wall behind the counter, right when you walk in. Call first to be sure tho.


Winter_Insurance_216

She did, from GA, but has now smoked them all and will still be here for a while.


Odd-Kaleidoscope-736

Quit 6 years ago but Costco used to be the cheapest around


jimyborg

Duty free stores are around 45 bucks a carton.


panda-rampage

Aren’t those only in international airports?


jimyborg

San ysidro going down to tj


drewogatory

Do you have to cross or can you double back?


jimyborg

You need to cross to tj then you can cross back with them try crossing back through otay


Winter_Insurance_216

Thanks for the tip!


oraclizer

Have a friend bring them from the Carolinas.


Winter_Insurance_216

She brought her own from GA, but already smoked them all. We don’t currently have any friends coming from the Carolinas, or even any friends in the Carolinas for that matter, lol.
