Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

I usually use fine pipe tobacco which also gets taxed at much lower rate as class L. A pound makes about 3 cartons (maybe a part of another) and runs maybe $16 bucks. Tubes with filter are about $3 a carton so not including time and labor, I'm at under $10 bucks a carton for better than Marboros. Even If I buy the fancy imported cigarette tobacco that is subject to the much higher tax rate and end up with far superior to Marlboros, I'm still under $20 a carton.

The time and labor is minimal, I just make a pack while watching TV for a few minuets.

If you are a menthol person, I make them so well that the Newport people prefer them and you know how dedicated to their crazy expensive brand those folks are I can do lights and can probably make an ultra-light too.

If you don't make your own you are insisting on paying more for lower quality with a lot more additives.
