Cigarette price up again :D

[Bigfuck]

1975-76. The 6 or 7 sticks Dunhill only 45 cents, I think. Then, Craven A and Abdullah 37 were some of the cig brands on sale. Last time can afford to smoke More cig seepay can liao.

I am afraid I don't have the time as time is crucial for me. Better pay $11 or $12 for a packet and focus on key areas in one's life, eh?

get dried leaves from the parks

............ and get arrested and charged for "Theft of Dried Leaves" under section 379 of the Penal Code? Nah, I rather buy my cigs.

Smokers who stop earLy, die earLy...

I bought my Pall Mall for only $8.50 but do not know what is the price now after the price increment

 

[Fishypie]

oi....dont scare me la :(

My Grand oLd pa died cLose to 90, 2 months right after he gave up on his Navy Cut ciggies ..

 

[Kohliantye]

Go and buy Indon contra ciggies.. Smoke it at home.. But when at public places, kopitiams, buy Spore ciggies..

That way can save a little bit of money..

All the cig smugglers will be laughing at the raise.

Their sales will pick up

They will use little kids to peddle those contraband cigs

Banglas present here will become rich and buy chunks of land in their countries.

I wonder how much of tax the govt collects. Why so secret??

Why not use it and COE collections to pay all senior citizens some token money every month?

 

[zeebjii]

heard that a pack of cigge will hit $15??

Don't believe anything. I watched on tv richard hu 'promising' or targetting to cap it at $10. And i believed him!

 

[erection2015]

same story as my dad.....died at 65, 8 months after giving up. But i stopped more than 10 years already.

Perhaps you have done some good deeds aLong the way; hence your extended stay ..

Ha Ha anything is possible in this country.

Even fruits on trees and its fallen dried leaves belongs to them.

Only feathered friends (birds) are above the law.

You may remember a case where a youing Aircraft Engineer stopped and plucked a flower for his girlfriend (later wife)

He was caught and charged for Vandalism.

Much hue and cry.

Later case was quietly settled...

Happe3n ed along Bkt Timah Road / Dunearn Road somewhere in 1972

I'm not as brave as you to smoke cheong ciggies. One of my ex-gf told me the customs people went up to search their flat after catching him with a pack of duty free ciggies in the table at the coffee shop.

 

[no_faith]

The Pall Mall menthol taste bit stronger.. I also surprise.. Didn't know about Pall Mall Menthol until a Malay chap at my workplace gave me a stick the other day.. Try this L&M brand.. Their Menthol also not bad.. Think it also cost $9.40..

bro zeddy, i also been smoking marlboro menthol but its quite expensive 7-eleven, supermarket, kopitiam all selling 11.90.
some old grocery shop are selling 11.30.

i have tried L&M, Viceroy, Next, not suitable, not smooth compare to Marlboro. maybe i try pall mall next time as you mentioned.
i have tried quit smoking but failed.:(

Yes there are high risk involved when buying contra ciggies.. Used to buy up to 4,5 contra cartons a month.. But now I would limit myself to just 2 cartons a month.. When at the kopitiams or public places, I will not take the risk of smoking these Indon ciggie and instead would buy Spore's Pall Mall or Dunhill ciggie..

Don't play play with these Custom chaps.. A chap from my old bike touring group had his condo searched by Custom officers.. He had 20 cartons of Indon Marlboros inside his condo unit.. They charged him and fined him heavily.. In the end he chose not to pay the fine and accepted his jail sentence.. Think he kena 8 months for it..

No need little kids. Viets are used for this profession under the able leadership of S'poreans.
