 at any of the numerous \"Tecate 6\" (a typical convience store chain) a pack of 20 Marlborl lights cost 17 pesos (2.00 Cdn) or 1.55 U.S. at the supermarkets they were 15 Pesos. we paid less than 15 US dollars for cartons of smokes (10 packs) INSANLY CHEAP!! came home with quite a few cartons .

They may be cheaper, but they are definately different. I am not sure if they use lower grade tobacco or what?

We paid 11.60 cnd, for a carton of smokes. But one warning if you plan on bringing them back to Canada you will get dinged big time for Canadian Tax even if you bring your limit back they still nail you with that tax....

 $11.60 is only a little more than we pay for one package of ciggarettes here in Alberta,so i think it is a pretty good deal for a carton.How many packages in a carton? Is there many brands to choose from?What do they taste like(pretty good,not bad or bad)?What brand taste the most like canadian cigarette?Thanks for the info.
