"they are not illegal"
haha, idiots
I had family visit from Canada who brought over packs at £2.50 per 20. Regular price £8.50 per 20. I didn't bother working out how many cigarettes were smuggled there, seems safe to say there's 5 figure profit.
North Carolina, a tobacco producer, was/is a low-cig-tax state relative to the north, so we spawned many, many smugglers. Decades ago, they caught a 18-wheeler with what appeared to be a load of milled lumber on it. The ends of the big, rectangular units of lumber were really doors with blocks glued on to look like the ends of the boards.

They caught him because the weigh-station was open and the officer knew the truck was too light for the load it had.
Man, all that work and they got busted by tonnage. That should have been an easy thing to fix.
BTW, that was on the outskirts of town and the photos were in the local paper. Probably headed to NYC (10-12 hrs drive back then).
Locally, we didn't mess with cigs. Producing & shipping commercial quantities moonshine was more our style.
