The trick is to get the Westy across the border loaded with smokes. Maybe we shud try an astro van. A few years ago when the tax was outrageous I bot a couple of cartons of the most popular smoke to sell for a nice profit. Well, I hawked those cigs all the way up to Newfoundland! I don't smoke, and I hated the idea of having to take them back home! Seemed the entire country smoked Players! Finally, on a small ferry in Newfoundland I found a guy who had just run out. doubled my money. Then I invested the profits in Players at the duty free on the way back, 'cause I knew someone back home who smoked them. Except that this person smoked ultra lights and I had bot lights. Ended up giving them away. It's enough to make you go back to Mary Jane. TBill 83.5 Westy (Use the ashtray to store little knobs)
