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.
