The Masshole politicians are tired of their citizens going to New
Hampster to buy liquor cheaper (and on Sunday too) so they occasionally
set up surveillance at the big state likka sto on 93 right across the
border, then bust Mass citizens who are bringing across low-tax booze,
beer, wine, and cigs. A few months back an enterprising Mass Citizen
staked out one of the big shot pols who was loading up his car, took
vids and accosted him about it. Made all the papers and TV and turns
out the pol has a 2nd home up there somewhere, and said he was getting
stuff for the house (on a Sunday evening at the last store before the
border). Liar! Busted!

Lack of any border control between states and lower cig taxes in NC

Its admittedly been 5 years since I was down that way but I seem to
remember SC having more signs for cheap smokes. One of my neighbors
up on
the farm had a trailer that he and his wife would haul to Florida
(crossing
every state on the eastern seaboard except RI) every year. His wife
smoked
and he told me they'd stop in SC at the same place every year and
she'd buy
$1000 of smokes. On the way north they'd stop again and she'd buy
$2000 of
smokes and sell 'em to her friend's when she'd return home.
I can't imagine how many smokes $2000 is and where they'd store them
although they had a very large travel trailer.

Cannot do that here. We have stations at the provincial borders that
demand you stop and declare smokes bought in
the next province. Failure to do so can get you busted big time. The
reason being of course that the taxes are
higher in Manitoba and the powers that be do not like you to buy your
smokes in the province with lower taxes.
