Where did you sell cigarettes?

Stampless tobacco is either counterfeit or sold through places like
Indian reservations. Indian Reservations and the big tobacco giants
love each other. The reservations will sell to the small gas
stations with stampless product or counterfeited stamps. Usually the
largest part of the price of cigarettes comes in the form of taxes.
I used to sell about 12-14k cartons a month. The Indian Reservations
contacted me multiple times to get truckloads of unstamped Philip
Morris or RJ Reynolds product.

Yes, the hydropnics is expensive, but the real killer is the

to control the entire environment. I think cali is a 6 plant state.
There is still black market booze, huge numbers of black market
tobacco products. Taxes and regulations are always going to
produce black markets. Illionois just went to tobacco 21 and
jacked taxes. Stampless tobacco is all over the place now. I dont
even know where they get these, packaging looks legit, so maybe
they just truck ot from manufacturers
