It's actually up to $16 in some places. Depends on where you are. Some places do that $8-10 South Carolina-stamped stuff.

Shouldn't be a soul smoking cigs in NY..That's beyond excessive! But the gas station by my crib has em for $4.99 AFTER tax breh (StL)...

Buy a few hundred cartons here and could cake up..$7.50 a pack, 10 packs a carton..$25 initial profit per carton..400 cartons a month...

:patrice:

Its illegal AF tho but I'm just sayin...:mjgrin:

illegal Cigarettes is a multi million dollar hustle up here tho...it's a low key come up.

You can get a cheap carton of Newports for $8 a t a bodega IF They trust you...alot of them smuggle them from VA (check the stamp underneath) for 4 bucks and sell them for double in NYC, but still cheaper than the 12.

I wouldn't advise it tho...it's still illegal, but that's how a lot of people get the discounted rates

yeah man. literally everyone has thought about that scheme lmao. but put it this way. there are people much "bigger" than you and I doing that on the millions of dollars scale. theres no way you can roll into the city with a trailor filled with cigs from down south and going bodega to bodega trying to off them without stepping on someones toes

Ive lived in NYC for almost 18 years and I can honestly say that I may have only eatin 3 times out of one of those trucks.

I know co workers who live by them religiously tho...and those trucks make major bank..especially the ones in Manhattan.

But I always have my doubts about the sanitary conditions in those things

If it helps at all, i know for a fact these places will charge white people different prices on shyt. Its not like they can advertise it, but theres a markup. i know because it has happened to me. $1.25 for a can of soda that someone whos from the neighborhood just paid $.75 for in front of me. and im like :mjgrin: took me almost a year to build up enough trust to grab those discounted southern state stamped cigs when I used to smoke (was $5 back then instead of the $8-10 it was now). Seeing the dude in front of me grab 2 loosies and then I go up to the counter and put down my $.50 and they say "we don't sell those here" :russ:
