Doing a bit of shop work over here to supplement income and for most of the Canadian brands we sell Regular, Kings or 100s. All cost the same (about $10) but why would you buy regulars when the 100s are so much bigger??
 
when i used to smoke i couldnt finish superkings so i'd end up wasting half of it, so just bought regular, but i guess hardcore smokers want more for their money so get superkings and 100's
 
Yes, by that age their lungs are so devoid of function, they need longer to actually breathe in enough smoke to get the same amount of nicotine absorption to maintain their level, and sate their addiction.
 
B&H Gold kingsize here. Their 100's aren't quite as good quality.


Used to smoke Regal Filter when I was younger, but they disappear too fast for me these days.

Why don't you import them from the lower US states?
Marlboro Lights are about $25 a carton, reg FL cigs are $12 a carton.

Because Canada have horrendous duties on tobacco products. All the Canadian people that use the hookah/shisha board I go on order from the US and just pray it doesn't get caught, all tobacco is ridiculously high priced over there (as it is here, I suppose) but their duty charges are even higher than ours for bringing it from outside the country
 
One thing i've noticed around me (West Midlands) is that only cheapy ciggies have superking sizes; good brands like Marlboro, Camel and Lucky Strike only have one size. The cheapy ones like Royals and Richmond when I've had them superking size the first bit tastes even worse than normal.

Plus Camel is like £1 more than rubbish brands so I just go with them.

Marlboro have 100's AFAIK. Marlboro are also about the same price as B&H and Silk Cut, both of which also have 100's (superkings).


Also your idea of 'good brands' seems to stem from watching too much American telly.
 
Rollups here.
Much nicer than ciggys.... unless you get something nice like Sobranie or Dunhill.
The new GV Yellow is delicious imo.
 
Did smoke Richmond smooth superkings but realised Marlboro lights taste so much better.
But alas, only the one size around here, but i suppose thats better, i smoke less :)
 
Generally Amber Leaf roll-ups but will go for L&B if I'm going out etc. Most brands do 100s or superkings - including Marlboro, Silk Cut and B&H - I work in a newsagents and we stock a fair few sizes of cigarettes, though only Embassy and Regal Filter 'regular' sizes.
