Brace yourself gentlemen.......

Cigarettes are 4.50 sterling for twenty here ( Apparently a pack in Canada is 25... don't know if the same in States) And yes Tom.... most of that is down to tax.

That works out at between 7 to 8 dollars a pack, I think.

I remember reading some years ago that Sir Walter Raliegh ( Who introduced tobacco to the "Civilized world" ) got it wrong.

That the tobacco he smoked with the indians was not the same " Strain" as he brought back... thier's was up to 17 times more pyscoactively powerful then the variety we use today.

Sometimes wonder if that was true... and if so........what the health effects would be if we smoked that strain?
