I don't smoke, but I come here once every few months for my mom. She smokes virginia slims and said this is the cheapest place she's found now that you can't buy it off the internet. Think it's $52/carton vs $90/carton in Hawaii + about $16 for a large flat rate priority usps box that perfectly fits 8 cartons. It's also tax free and be sure to sign up on their website - they email coupons for $2-4 off each carton w/ no limit.
Yes I'm totally enabling my mom's habit, but she's going to do it whether she saves money or not.
So it's in a totally shady area of town, but I feel safe since there's a very nice security guard w/ a gun, and there's a little police station literally around the corner. The employees may seem a little trashy, but they're all extremely nice and helpful everytime I've needed more from the back.
The one thing that sucks is that they close pretty early at 7pm, so I have to speed down there after work to make it in time.
