I agree with you Mr. Jones, but since I was exiled for 4 years, I only remember the very old system. I don't know what system was in place before the new one.
I'm still able to pickup decent everyday smokes for well under $2 (just won 10 MOW little devils for $1.20 ea.), and have been able to grab Pepins for $3 and an occasional MF for $4. Also this week I closed on Oliva Os and Saisons for $1.50 and MB 3s for $2.50.
In many cases, I'm paying less today, then I did 4 years ago, so no complaints from me.
