The trick is to get the Westy across the border loaded with smokes.
Maybe we shud try an astro van.
A few years ago when the tax was outrageous I bot a couple of cartons
of the most popular smoke to sell for a nice profit.  Well, I hawked
those cigs all the way up to Newfoundland!  I don't smoke, and I hated
the idea of having to take them back home!  Seemed the entire country
smoked Players!  Finally, on a small ferry in Newfoundland I found a
guy who had just run out.  doubled my money.  Then I invested the
profits in Players at the duty free on the way back, 'cause I knew
someone back home who smoked them.  Except that this person smoked
ultra lights and I had bot lights.  Ended up giving them away.  It's
enough to make you go back to Mary Jane.
