Sorry Brother, My dat burn "Part Timers" (Memory) kicked in again or I made a typo. Cigarets are currently about $5.50 or 3.57 pounds (one Google said). You are right, that still seems half of the Britt. price. Must be a heck of an import tax. Or y'all are a lot smarter then us in trying to stop smoking, or both When I quit in 1980 they were .55 cents a Pack.

Regarding your Slimlines, at 10 Pounds should be about $15.40 US, which is about the same as my price. I usually pay $2.55 each for 10 gold Slimlines plus shiping from Pen State Ind. which as I said is about $12.00 PROFIT. I also buy some stylus tips and make some up as stylus pens. Sell for them for $20.00.

I also buy some 10 inch 7mm. tubes and cut pieces to match my scrap cut off material from blanks. I make "Stubby" stylus' from the scraps with stylus in one end and extra Slimline pen caps (Or key ring caps) in the other end. Get $10.00 each for them.
I buy 1 1/2 inch square turning spindles and rip them into four 3/4 inch square sticks for blanks. Lots cheaper and no waste
