A 2016 law in New York state ended the ability of Native American tribes to
sell non-taxed cigarettes to non-tribe members.

It's supposed to that way in Oklahoma, but here in the Sooner State just
about everyone is part Indian. Race is irrelevant. The only color that
matters is GREEN.

And to think, just twenty years ago I could hop on my bike and make the
60-mile round trip to the Cheyenne-Arapaho Smoke Shop
(http://tinyurl.com/y8b3wbcz) on one gallon of gas, and with $100 I could
buy ten cartons of Basic Menthol 100s and a log of Skoal, and have change
coming back.

On a 1997 road trip I met a Québécois trucker and showed him my cigarette
pack without a tax stamp. He said, "If I was caught with that I'd be locked
up."
