I was lucky enough to have the fifth of July off and I spent it driving to and from Laughlin,…read moreNevada for my bi-annual visit to Avi Smoke Shop to pick up a case of cancer sticks for the better half. Probably not the best timing calendar wise since I arrived around noon on Friday and was greeted by 107 degrees heat. Oh the fun...! When the Kommunist state of Kalifornia passed a $2.00 per pack tax on cigarettes back in late 2016, the better half and I were forced to start searching for alternative ways to support her nicotine habit. Last year while attending my father's funeral in Nevada was the first time we visited Avi Smoke Shop ( https://bit.ly/2Xvq5ZJ ) and a woman started conversing with Laina about what kind of cigarettes my wife smoked. The woman offered my lovely wife a cigarette from the 24/7 brand she promotes and Laina found it more than palatable and I found the price very wallet friendly at $36.79 per carton with an $8.00 discount per carton. The price was so friendly we ended up buying 20 cartons and the staff informed me for large orders in the future, they receive shipments on Friday and if you call a few days ahead the store will hold an order for you. For those of you that think this is an extreme measure, here is some simple math: 60 cartons a year times $82.00 per carton equals $4,920 per year. 60 cartons a year times $28.79 per carton equals $1,727 per year. On the my visits to this location I have spoke to a few Californians getting their nicotine here and have seen California license plates in the parking lot. Revenues are already down 64 percent from last year and purchases are down 50 percent, but what that doesn't translate into less smokers, all it means is they are getting their cigarettes elsewhere... like Nevada. It also has greatly increased black market sales which doesn't show up in the sales charts. And don't say she should just quit, unless you are willing to quit your vice. There are many Californians that think that taxing cigarettes is a great idea, but it only works if people are still buying the cigarettes in the state otherwise it is lost income. And when the ninnies and nannies in Sack-armento lose money on one tax their solution is to add a different tax. Rohlinism: We all have vices and they are all taxable! Next time it could be soda, fast food, alcohol or Yelpers in California will love this one... caffeine! Worse yet, if are a Californian and believe the state government spends your money efficiently or wisely, you are a bigger moron than the idiots that run this state. So the next time you see a tax on a ballot, vote NO! I was impressed with the business hours ( https://bit.ly/2NDIOm8 ) from my first visit even though I always arrive before noon, but it is nice to know the hours are quite lengthy. The shop is always busy and you are almost always guaranteed a wait ( https://bit.ly/2JxAzCz ) before getting to the counter even though there have been at least three registers being utilized on each of my visits. The staff isn't friendly nor rude, but they are efficient and my orders have always been ready for pickup when I have arrived at Avi. Since we were visiting the day after Independence Day, an area had been cleared out near the back of the shop and was stocked with all sorts of fireworks which can't be sold / purchased in Arizona or California (legally): ( https://bit.ly/2xC9AAt ) The prohibition on fireworks probably includes these types as well: ( https://bit.ly/2LGObya ) The fireworks seem to get mixed reviews with the only common denominator being the deals for the fireworks are excellent, the quality of the fireworks seems to vary from Yelper to Yelper. The better half notices the extensive selection of Hostess items ( https://bit.ly/2JkaoRh ) on display with several flavors I have never seen anywhere else including outlets. The cold beverage selection ( https://bit.ly/2XToiBL ) is quite extensive and during those hot Nevada summers this place probably looks like an oasis. If you prefer to prepare your own beverage, there is a self-serve station ( https://bit.ly/2L858Cj ) with hot and cold beverage options. If you are looking for a snack for your long drive home, Avi has a few rows dedicated to sweet and savory treats. I just hope when California comes after your vice, you are able to find a place like Avi Smoke Shop... just don't count on it! This convenience store will continue to have my business for the foreseeable future.
