Being in this business for over 22 years, I’ve seen a lot of garbage. But what’s happened in this industry the last several years with cigarette prices is at the top of the list. Cigarette prices have been increased $1.20 minimum every three months since the end of 2019. Our average for brand name cigarettes are now over $100.
For the first 17 years of this business, cigarette manufactures have raised prices twice a year at a 50 cent per carton increase each time. So every year, it would go up $1. Since the end of 2019, the three major cigarette companies have used the excuse of “we have to pay attorney fees” to raise it this insane amount that is mentioned above.
We still aim to be cheaper than anywhere else in DeKalb County. But we also have options to save you money. Many customers have switched to rolling their own cigarettes. The machines being made now are much better now than they were 15 years ago. You can make these cigarettes quicker and your price is a fraction of the cost. $105 or $12 for a carton? Stop in and see us if you want to take this route.
