Seems like they're always in CA. That tobacco tax has got them running crazy.

Heck ... he's only paying $1 over what CI is selling them for ... and believe it or not, the shipping is cheaper here ($3.95) than it is at CI ($5.00) for the same 5-pack ...

Seems to me, he knows what he's doing ... and besides, must we continue to 'beat this dead horse'?

... winky ... winky ... ;^)

Oops ... didn't notice how many he was bidding on ...

... oh well, he must have his reasons ... who knows?

I paid (yeah, I live in CA) $8.95 for just one the other day, at a nearby shop ...

... I was jonesing ... ;^) and wanted something that was going to 'kick my A$$' ... and I wanted it kicked ... NOW! ... LOL!

My brother lives in Sherman Oaks and he always tells me how high the prices are there. I always send him a few nice ones a month so he doesn't spend all his money...not like he can't afford it though (the ****).

Well I am about 4.5 hours South of you. I try to stay away from the big city(but work in St Louis). I have only visited Chi town once.

Sounds like you get better prices than we do.
