Marlboro Menthol Blend No.54 cigarettes
These new cigarettes went on sale last week in my hometown for $20 a carton. Normally, I don’t smoke menthols except on occasion but I couldn’t resist the price. For less than $3 a pack though, they are well worth the price.
They are shorter than regular smokes, but not …
