What Did Your Fathers and Grandfathers Smoke?

The 'New' Three Nuns
This is true, but at least your high price is due to taxes. Ours are simply the manufacturers price. A pouch of St. Bruno Ready Rubbed costs roughly the same here as it does in the UK...and that's with the low US tax. Mac Baren just sets the price high...- coda
