You think that's bad? Now it's not a pack of 20, it's 24! Who the hell ever thought of that? 25, maybe. 30, sure. 40, obviously. But 24? Is the tobacco industry now run by Kiefer Sutherland??

^ I've seen 19 packs as well.

Remember around 2003, a pack of 10 Richmond Superkings was £1.99. Pack of ten now is what, pushing £4? How the fuck can people afford to smoke.

Less tobacco for my hard earned dollar is a bad thing. The grits I get are twenty packs though, never seen any of the other ones you mention. I assume they went with 24 instead of 25 because of spacing.

Yeah. No ten packs in Ireland anymore. At all. Some idiot thought that would stop kids buying them! Jesus! Also, 20 smokes here costs just under 10 Euro.

I just don't get why they changed it at all though. In fairness, it's a decent deal. 20 smokes was just short of 10 Euro, 24 is 10.90, so essentially four extra for 90 cents. That's less than half the price of each of the original 20, if I've done me sums right, never a thing to be guaranteed with me. But I think it's right.

What do you smoke? And did they make the filters shorter to compensate?

If you mean me, I don't. Never have, never will. Disgusting habit.
I buy them for my sis, who smokes Silk Cut Blue. Have to hold the damn things while she smokes them. Probably die of secondhand smoke related cancer. Oh well.

My roomie smokes, and so do all our friends. I quit a couple two three months ago, but dammit, I feel like I still smoke because of all the second hand **** that constantly fills the air in here. At least my ex didn't smoke.

American Spirits, brother. The filters are the same length I think, I can't really tell.
