Smokers In Ct...read! If you smoke cigs like myself...you already know of the absolutely asinine CT taxes of cigs.
Which is why for the past month I've been ordering my cigs online.
I usually smoke Marb Reds, however I found a MUCH cheaper equivalent at $7.99 a CARTON.
To save the URLs being shared (someone post if I can plop the URL to the place here) PM me and I'll shoot you the URL. I say this because I've been sharing the URL with my buds around my area in New Milford whom are all obviously pissed off at paying $5.49 up to $7.00 a pack for cigs.
NOTE: There's a news article on WTNH indicating for the state of CT "cracking down on smokers ordering cigs online". If I ever get a bill saying I need to pay taxes I'm starting up the next boston tea party tax revolt and I will NOT pay it. A long time friend of my father has been using this place to grab cigs for almost 5 years and has not seen a bill since. I'm saying this as so you know the "risk".
Maxxum Carton (They indicate "Parker" on the website but I got a carton of "Maxxum" (a.k.a Marb Reds, tastes just like them) - $7.99
Shipping - $7.99 or so.
So, order a couple of cartons, the price for shipping wont go up until I think 4+ cartons. I've did my own GP with my buddies around here and we all pitched in. Realistically it's about $9.99 per carton with shipping when ordering 4 cartons. Anyone will know that $9.99 is cheaper than $52.99 for a carton of marbs...HA.
**EDIT**
This also applies to Dip and Cigars!
------------
8/15/07 Price checking... (All prices are PER CARTON)
------------
Marbs - $25.99 for any carton of any type...e.g.Marlboro Full Flavor 100's box, Marlboro Light King box, etc.
All Camels - $29.99
All Newports - $26.99
All Salem - $29.99
All Kools - $29.99
All Parliaments - $26.99
All Winstons - $29.99
if you need any others let me know...
---Cost saver prices---
GT One Full Flavor King box - $15.99
Poker Ultra Light King - $9.99
Poker Ultra Light 100's - $9.99
Parker Light King - $7.99
Poker None (no filter) - $7.99
Parker Full Flavor King - $7.99 (as indicated you may recieve "maxxum", taste the same.)
I've been checking out some other websites and they're even cheaper for marbs...but if you want to save dough in the long run, the parkers kick ***!
And just to add if anyone's wondering...I'm not affiliated with this place at all, I'm just your usual pissed off CT Cig Tax resident trying to help other pissed off CT Cig Tax residents! (or any other state where they're really nailing you with taxes)
If you need any prices on Skoal or any other Dip OR Cigars let me know.

Your better off driving to NH.
The online cigs are cheap knock off and often stale. My brother and Mother smoke and that seemed to be the case.
We go to VT and stop off in NH on the way up, which isnt much out of the way but lets say this one of our cousins wanted 10 cartons of Marb Red, they were 34$ each, Since we were on the way the cost was negible, if in CT it would be a 4 hour round trip but the cost for fresh cigs still beats on line cig prices and quality.

a carton of Marb Reds on this site is $25.99 or any Marb for that matter per carton. $5.00 base shipping so its about $30.99 for just one carton, and the price only fluxes a couple of bucks for multiple cartons as they're being tossed in the same box.

I've seen some cheaper deals over seas...but it's too risky, I stick with people over here.
**Edit**
I compared boxes from the ones I ordered to the ones I bought locally here in CT previously...they look identical in color, shape, paper-box construction etc.
I don't think they're counterfeit at all
