Note the “great deal” of a pound of tobacco that costs barely more than the S-CHIP tax!  This is absolutely fantastic!  But how is it possible….. grey deals or good fortune being shared?  Hardly, this is unprocessed “raw tobacco” and therefore NOT subject to the outrageous $25lb S-CHIP tax in the first place!

Similar product is available elsewhere, for example the highly recommended DeweyAve Smokeshop. Note the product in question at DeweyAveSmokeshop sells for a reasonable $9.75lb (Rochester RYO is an excellent product no less).   How these guys plans on explaining this to their loyal customers should prove interesting. The customers who just the past few months kept them afloat through the unjust challenge of  S-CHIP’s immoral consumer rip-off, happen to have received the “all you ever wanted to know about the prejudices of tobacco taxation” crash course!  Caveat Emptor!

(Hey guys, we’re supposed to be on the same side here!)
