I'm in Montreal this week, went into a local B&M to check it out, and was stunned by sticker shock. I mean farcical in how expensive things are. Run of the mill LFD going for $30 & $40 per stick. The Coobins aren't any better. Thought I might be picking up a box of parties, but that's not happening.

Yeah, but it's Canada.

They use Monopoly money.

Tried to buy my first Behike when they first came out years ago in Canada. At the time they were selling for around $28 each on line and the Canuk price was $76. When the clerk said due to their laws I could not smoke in his lounge I walked out.

I've heard you can even happen upon some fake Cubans up there.

Incredibly staggering. Many Canadians order from Hong Kong and Australia, but I used to have a Canadian vendor who had out of the ordinary Havanas sometimes and would price match for me. Bought an aged 50 cab of ERDM Choix Supreme several years ago for like $300 and it was fantastic. YMMV.

Canadians suck.

Especially French Canadians.

They're the worst...
