Anyone else switched brands recently because of pricing or whatnot?
We switched about 2 years ago when Petro-Canada used to have a deal of 2 pack for $10.58 (taxes in) whereas DuMauriers were at $12.something - Never went back. DuMaurier was highly marketed. From employees of IT, it's all the same - so long as the ingredients are the same, it's the same tobacco - only difference is the branding/packaging.
