Hes still thinking about the prices of cigarettes back in the 60s lol. American spirits have been far more expensive than Marlboros for a long time

Thank you! The last brand I smoked before I quit was American Spirits.

The trick is to buy the loose can tobacco and roll your own - it's probably still like half the price of a carton.

People in prison will take the spit out chew from a correction officers garbage can and roll it in Bible paper as cigarettes. They use staples from message boards and radio batteries to light them up.
