    I don’t know how the US does it Steve, but in Canada, the cigarette producers package their cigs for whatever country they are being exported to. So for example, if you buy Canadian cigs in the US, they are just labeled in English, not bilingual like they are for the domestic market. The same thing goes for the ones they sell to other regions of the world. Also the tax seal that is placed on the package is different as well. Export cigs are sold without tax, smuggled back into Canada and sold on the black market. Part of how they tell where they are smuggled from is the package. Cigs have very high taxes in Canada and cig smuggling is very big business. They smuggle Canadian made cigs into Canada. Weird huh?

    My very good friend was buying these from someone in Russia but he was going through his ex-wife at the time who is from England so she was like the go between. He doesn't do it anymore but he does still have several unopened boxes. At one time they were coming in cartons but the government got hip to the idea & so they had to start shipping them w/o the carton & boxed differently. He was buying them for his personal use because they were cheaper but also because he is very wealthy, he would make a nice size order so that he could sell them to people he knew as well to pay for his. He quit smoking them & started vaping which is so much better for him because he was smoking for about 45 yrs, at least 2 packs a day.

    Yea Jerry, that's this old Redneck Country Boy in the first pic. The young man (5 years old) helping hold the short boards name is Sam/Sammy as known to his family.



    I've known Sammy's grandmother since she and I were young (around 1972) I used to date his grandmother's best friend and a good friend used to date Sammy's grandmother.

    Sammy's mother and father are divorced and he, his mother, his older sister and older brother were living in a rental home that had a Sand Box and Sammy would spend hours upon hours, months after months playing in it with his trucks and other toys.

    The rental went up for sale and Sammy's family moved into his grandmothers small home. Quarters are very tight especially given that there is only one bathroom and there are 3 Females and 2 Males needing it.

    Sammy adjusted quite well to the cramped quarters but kept vocalizing how he missed the sandbox.

    So his grandmother purchased the materials and I put it all together (With Sammy's Help) and Sammy was Thrilled

    The only problem was/is that Grandma didn't heed my advice and contact a Sand & Gravel outfit and give then the dimensions of the box and put a plastic tarp in the back of the pickup and have them dump the amount of 'SAND' she needed in. Then it could have been 'shoveled' and transferred to the box. Instead she tried buying the 50# bags of play sand

    She now knows to listen to Old Red Neck Country Boys Advice--

    Even though there isn't anywhere enough sand in the box, Sammy is very happy!
