CT smokes cost around $8 a pack due to the taxes. The Native American tribes to the west in NY sell mail order smokes for a whole lot less. The CT revenuers drove over to one of the reservations and demanded their CT customer list. The Indians told 'em to go pound sand, as they're on sovereign ground.

I keep hearing horror stories of the CT Nazi Tax Party busting "foreign" cigarette buyers, so I'm a little paranoid about it. They already took me off for $35,000 in sales tax a few years ago for buying parts & tires out of state. The auditor showed up in a brand new 2006 Mercedes station wagon. I was driving a '95 mini van. If that were from a movie, it might be funny. It isn't & it wasn't.
Fun facts, #6,812 - Some elected dope in either the US Senate or House had a brilliant idea - let's force Fed Ex & UPS to collect the cigarette taxes at the door during delivery. I s--- you not. Thank God we don't get all the government we're paying for...
