If you smoke cigarettes as I do, you might be tempted to buy cigarettes more cheaply on line. If you run across a website called VIP-Cigarettes, avoid it like the plague. I found out the hard way. They claim to sell 10 cartons of cigarettes for $190.00. Which came out to $19.00 a carton. I talked them down to selling me 5 cartons for $110.00. Turns out, it was a rip off. It was a company in communist China. They also only took payment through bitcoin or Western Union. But I took the chance anyway. I sent them the money by Western Union. But I never got the cigarettes and they stopped replying to my emails. So I was ripped off. Lesson learned.

If it sounds too good to be true...it isn't true.

My friend smokes Atlanta brand cigarettes produced in Vietnam, and cost about $6.47 a carton. Maybe a major portion of the cost is shipping costs? Last year it cost me a little more than $10 to mail my income tax forms to the IRS in the U.S.A., just 3 pages. Can't imagine what it would cost to mail a carton of cigarettes to the U.S.A. COD is the only way I buy over the Internet. Recently bought 100 cans of Mackerel in tomato sauce for our cats and chickens for about $20 and delivered COD.
 
If you want cheap, you go to the Res. That was true when I lived in the states, and it's true here.

As long as that Atlanta brand of cigarettes doesn't use tobacco grown in Vietnam, then that's ok. But if the tobacco they use is grown in Vietnam, you couldn't pay me to smoke them. Because during the war we sprayed the hell out of Vietnam with Agent Orange. Which contains harmful "forever chemicals."

Though we have reservations in my area, they have no reservation store. What they do have is a crappy "casino" that only has slot machines in it.
