Why are cigarettes so cheap on the dnm's?

This is good, but quite baffling, where the fuck do they get their fags from? I've browsed some markets and you can literally get 10 packs for £30.

I have a someone that brings me Marlboros from Nicaragua a couple times a year. They end up costing her ~$1.05 a pack. They are way better than the ones I buy in the US. I don't know if it's because they don't have those flame retardant bumps in them like they do in the US now or what. They also don't blow ash everywhere or have pieces of burning tobacco drop from them. I don't know where the ones in Nica are made but they are not the same as the ones in the US. And that price! Lovin' it.

counterfeit cigs is a big business. If the prices are too good to be true, I wouldn't be surprised if they're counterfeit.

No taxes, most are from low income - low cost countries.

Remember, these cigs probably aren't flameproof like in the US, etc. If you leave it sit, it will not burn out. It will burn. So if you nod out and drop the damn thing, wake the fuck up. Be careful. I've ordered them from a clearnet website in the past before dnms were thriving and had no issue.

Because cigs are cheap as hell to produce and most of the cost you see are from taxes and large profit gouges in the market. Price fixing basically.

Hell even 10 packs for 30 euro is pretty expensive. Well sort of, that equals 45$ Canadian.

My parents by "Indian smokes"(Native) in Nova Scotia and get 250 for 25 to 35$ depending who is selling them. Or at least they used to, they ended up not liking the taste over time, but it was sure better then 90$ for 10.

Basically where they come from is either two places. If it's name brand stuff, it's stolen or from another country smuggled to be sold cheaply. E.g. stolen belvederes or just some country that has a brand that sells for probably 1.50 a pack and they sell them illegally to avoid taxes.

The second way to no-name produced legally(Or illegally) but sold illegally.

Natives are allowed to produce their own smokes, have tabacco plants, and sell them to other natives with green cards. They also don't pay tax. That said; if they sell them to the general public it is now illegal unless they charge taxes and other things.

That's why you are seeing them so cheap.

When I was deployed they had cartons of Dunhill, Davidoff etc for about $25

Completely serious about this, watched a Documentary on it actually!

One of the most profitable financial endeavors that Terrorists from the middle east have is the "fake cigarette market" which they even make counterfeit tax labels for. They said you can find some pretty bad stuff in those cigarettes though, even like e coli

Cigarettes can be had cheap as hell from some counties.

Mostly conterfeits as said already

Can anyone recommend a good vendor for purchasing non-FSC cigarettes that will deliver to the USA?


[1 Points] Kricketier:

Translated to $$. Thdts about the price of a carton of marlboros where I live. (Kentucky)


[1 Points] Devaney1984:

Because they're nasty cigarettes from Eastern Europe that taste like shit and burn in half the time...at least if you're talking about the main cig dealer "only" or whatever his name is. They also took 3 months to get here and a significant percent of them will get caught in customs leaving you SOL.

Tax tax tax tax tax


[1 Points] r0seMvp:

cuz the tobacco is cheaper... im from Italy and when Im in Tunisia, had a house there, cigs were 1/5th price but tobacco quality really bad...


[1 Points] eleusis211:

Because cigarettes are extremely cheap to produce and over half the price you pay on a pack is tax. I would assume that the people selling on DNMs get them from countries where they are able to circumvent such taxes or directly from suppliers before the tax is applied.


[1 Points] bigtimetimmyjim22:

Many many countries where you can get a popular name brand pack for under 2$ usd. Can also support that Marlboros in vietnam are better than in the U.S for about ~1$ a pack.


[1 Points] jtemps92:

Same reason people come back from their holidays to Spain/France/mainland Europe with as many packs as their allowed... They don't get taxed to fuck like we do


[1 Points] IvorRealBiggun:

Dyou know how much it cost the cig companies to make a packet? $0.01.


[1 Points] my_wet_vagina:

I am in the US and in my state, if you buy by the carton (comes with a bunch of individual packs all wrapped up together) it's ~$2.30 per pack for the cheaper brands. By the double carton it's more like ~$2.00 per pack.


[1 Points] None:

You can get a pack for less than $4 where I live. US


[1 Points] Jammy_J:

So can anyone comment on the quality of the cigarettes on DNMs? Or more specifically from mikehamer on nucleus? I would love to stock up, but last time i had fake snout i was coughing up black shyte after just 20, so dont really wanna risk going through that again. Are they the real deal?


[1 Points] investinwaffles:

a carton of ciggerettes costs 25$ here.


[1 Points] IvorRealBiggun:

They are so cheap because they are STOLEN.
