It was Marlboros I noticed at over £8..Lots of mates smoke Richmond/ Mayfair, but only because they're a lot cheaper. Does anyone actually like them?! I don't like taylor made's myself, much prefer rollies (GV/ Cutters), but if I had to buy taylors it would be Lucky Strike/ Camel. £6 for a pack of fags is still A LOT though, it's crazy thinking when I first started smoking, 20 Marlboros were £3.50 and people were complaining they were expensive then.
Baccy, papers and filters all together cost me about £5 and last me about a month!
