It’s been 16 years since the first and only time to Champaign. That was until this past Wednesday. This was a special one. Best In The Smoker’s is gearing up for the Fall in style.

Milwaukee and Hoffman Estates in September. We are keeping the pedal to the medal.

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.

We have the Elf brand of nicotine pouches. The available nicotine levels are 3 and 6. The flavors are Blue Razz Ice, Watermelon Ice, Mango and Spearmint. The price is $1 cheaper at $3.99 a tin.

Unfortunately, Zyn still has a shortage and we aren’t sure what is going on. We’ve been out for over a month.

It was the first trip ever to The Land of 10,000 Lakes and the “dream seats” awaited us. It’s not always about the destination. It’s about the road taken to it. Expanding our business to other states has been a success over the years.

We make another first-time trip later in August with Champaign. Keep your eyes on the TV.

Very rarely in this industry, both the quality and price of a product is hard to find together. Here is an example of one that contains both. Since 2016, we have carried Tsunami Grinders and they have became our top-selling brand.

Available in a variety of colors, we sell their standard 63MM grinder at $19.99. Find a store in DeKalb County that has a better price on this grinder and we’ll vacate our DeKalb County Tobacco Store Championship Belt.

As mentioned before, the best thing about going to Wisconsin is that in a few hours, we get to leave Wisconsin. But not before facing the evil foes in enemy territory. The Sith, so-to-speak. Facing us was Mr. Competitor. He has earned the nickname “Obi-Wan Jabroni” and he proved just that by not showing up to face his foe known as The King of Kings. Game. Set. Match.

St. Paul is next. Maybe Cleveland? Maybe? Stay tuned.

We get the question on a daily basis about available options to cut down on nicotine intake. We have the answer. Brands such as North have lower nicotine disposable vapes in both 0% and 3%. And for those who want tobacco or menthol, we have Breeze in 0%.
