I was just a little
buckaroo when
they first invited
me to Marlboro
Country. I loved
being a cowboy,
and smoking fit

But once I got to
where the flavor
was, it would take
me four decades to
find a trail out of
Nicotine Canyon.
They told me I had
lungs like leather
and I could smoke
a pack a day forever.
I finally ran out of
reasons to smoke...
when I ran out of air...

Are you paying over $5 / pack of cigarettes? I buy my cigs at Duty Free Depot and this saves me over 70%.
