Now, here is another question I have...

There is an Indian Reservation close enough to me. Could anyone give me an estimate of what high quality tobacco, cigarette papers and filters would cost me on the reservation? I'm trying to figure out what it would cost to make a carton of cigarettes if the products are bought in bulk.

Another question... which brands would you guys consider the best quality of cigarette tobacco around?


Producing the cigarettes seems like the easy part. The hardest part I am facing right now is actually packaging them professionally.

Then stop your questions and thoughts on a career in the blackmarket, if you don't have a anti-government stomach or a freedom mindset you are not cut out for any venture like this.

Now you are wondering what's the best place to buy tobacco near NYC?
Look it up on the net, it's not difficult - you're 21 - I assume you can get around on the net quite easily, the internet has been around since the day you were born

Either you are an Anti-Troll or a Journalist Phishing for a story.

These sophomoric questions are not ringing true.

Before you gas up your car for the drive, better make sure that Indian reservation is still allowed to sell tax-free ciggies to non-Native Americans. New York has been trying to close that loophole for a long time.

Here's a link to a recent article:

I would definitely call ahead to find out what the status is because New York will keep trying indefinitely to get that tax money.

Why not just move to another state after graduation? This stuff is happening everywhere, but it's not as advanced in some states as it is in New York. Graduating from college, you can move anywhere you want.

I'm trying to calculate how much this would cost per carton though.

I'm sorry, but I don't even know what an "Anti-Troll" even is.

You'll have to learn a whole new lingo to understand insults like "anti troll." The long-time members are sizing you up to determine if you're friend or foe. There are people who come into this forum who don't have our best interests at heart.

e bay sells a shrink wrap you could wrap each pack then hit with a hot blow dryer
and it will look like a pro

By the way, I appreciate everyone's help; even those who want me off of these boards.

I am very suspect of what you are looking for here and your intentions with this information.

First you want to sell homemade cigarettes (or give them away)to make a profit
Then you don't want to harm the government of their taxation.
But, you want to keep knowing how to make manufactured-like cigarettes to sell.
Then you are leery of counterfeit-esque activities of American Indians doing exactly what you are seeking to do...

It doesn't add up...
