s_smith001 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Ok, so today i go down to my local middle east mart to check out their shisha selection and get some 3K's. I ask how much the 50g Nahklah boxes re and.......... she says 13.99. Wow so theres no way im not buying online ever again. Even if shipping is 30 bucks and i get hit with duty, is under $2 for the exact same box online. Not to mention theres waaaaaaay better selection.On another note i smoked my QT for the first time yesterday and it was EPIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't put a cigarette in my mouth since I was 16, but I used to smoke Winston's, and I know you can't get them here anymore. Players, Export A and Du Mauriers are the most popular brands where I'm from, and they'll run you about $10 a pack if you're white. If you're aboriginal and have a treaty card, you can get cartons for like $15 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNeuro Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Jesus, in minnesota its like...4 a pack for name brand cigs, marlboro, lucky strike and suchnahkla is like...3 around here, romman is 5 and yeah there isnt a very good selection.what's realllly ironic to me is that the islamic center is right next to our porn store, and the porn store is the only one in winona that sells hookah supplies (right next to the "water bubblers" as they're called. but the islamic center is the main force trying to get the porn store kicked out of town so they can't even go there. and i've talked to a few of them and yes, they do smoke.its hilarious to me.

Do these taxes apply to domestic tobacco products? Or just ones imported into Canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfaltous Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Applies to all tobacco products... but as far as shisha goes, my understanding from talking to a shop worker is that they don't actually get taxed much at all for it. People just hike up the prices for profit because of the lack of competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when they will be able to, it will be expensive b/c they have to pay $40/250g taxes. But then again I am in QC, so it really depends on the province.
