Frustrating twice, Do they sell Benson&Hedges Gold or 555 State Express cigs there in Canada?
I can't remember the last time I saw B&H in Canada. I almost grabbed a pack last time I was in the US
There's Benson and hedges but I stopped smoking years ago. But Benson and hedges black and gold full flavour was my brand. Benson and hedges gold were lights. Now it's all plain packaging and they cant use the term light so I don't know what is what anymore. Never seen 555's before in canada
I used to smoke B&H cigs, but I quit smoking cigs 15 years ago. Now you're not even allowed to see what kinds of cigarettes they have, so it's kind of hard to tell what their selection is lol.
When New Zealand passed that lifetime ban nonsense I knew other countries would follow suit, I figured Canada would be the second but third is not far off. It's just like how Australia passed plain packaging and more and more countries are doing it. Anti smoking legislation anywhere is a threat everywhere.
I’m having a great time reading though this stuff…highly entertaining all this griping going this way & that. Please continue & thank you 
for leading the way.

Ah, I see! I saw the title and thought maybe canadians dropped behind liverpools in the latest most-popular-classic-shape poll.
Sorry for the interruption; you guys carry on your communist/anti-communist discussion.

If politicians thought that banning breathing would get them re-elected, they'd do it.
Inhaling is a right, but exhaling is a privilege.
You're obviously some kind of extremist.
Almost sixty years ago my father took me with him to go look at a bird dog over on the Sac River bottoms, now dammed up by Lake Stockton since 1970.
If you’ve watched the movie Deliverance that was about the level of civilization there.
The man with the bird dogs wasn’t home. His wife (not exactly a supermodel) directed us to a certain spot on the river.
There a bunch of river dwellers were having a coon on a log contest.
There was a raccoon on a log in the river, and dogs would swim out and attempt to pull the coon off the log and drown it. The coon seemed to be winning. The dogs would swim back a bloody mess.
There were men drinking whiskey right out of the bottle and beer right out of the can, and some women too, whose clothes fit too tightly. They were gambling and cussing loudly, right in front of those girls.
I started crying, and said Daddy that coon is going to kill one of those poor dogs!
He said he’d come back later to the man because he had to go milk and on the way home Daddy taught me tolerance about river rats and their ways.
He said if you don’t like a coon on a log contest go someplace else.
Today those coon on a log contests are as much a crime as cockfighting all over the USA.
The problem we smokers have is other folks look at us, and think of us like we are sinful and wicked.
They really don’t care what our pleasures are, since they don’t find pleasure in them.

Where precisely was this?
Do you think they're all still there yet?
That’s all under Lake Stockton today.
The hue and cry and opposition to the Corps of Engineers taking those homesteads on the Sac River was beyond description in the sixties.
But they paid three or four times what those places.
