Really I'm not worried about price at this point, I'm more concerned with the quality of the product if the government gets their hand on it. Also I don't see the government ever legalizing it until the states does and that will never happen.

You can buy cigarettes illegally smuggled into Canada on the black market for half the price. The quality of American tobacco is IMO, much better than Canadian. As a former regular smoker who smoked cigarettes from just about every continent on the globe, I can tell you that the quality of the Canadian tobacco was far worse. The vast majority of people still choose to by tobacco legally for more money. I think it's just difficult to imagine, since you are used to buying it from your dealer.
