Oh, Canada- STICKER SHOCK!

Well I think that if they order from one of the unnamed sites, and their package gets pulled at customs, they pay taxes on their goods. So I guess if that is the case it sounds like a risk that could pay off or get you hit with some nasty taxes you REALLY don't want to pay.

In many cases taxes and other fees levied by Customs are 300 per cent MSRP.

The ridiculous thing about hiding the smokes to protect kids is that many kids buy "contraband" cigarettes manufactured at Indian reserves for a fraction of the cost of legit ones:

And like Darryl said, as much as I'd like to support local B$Ms, I just can't afford the taxes that come with doing so.
