I just bought a carton of Sonoma menthol cigarettes and opened a pack and lit one and they are stale my girlfriend smokes them too so I asked her how did hers taste because I thought maybe it was just me n she also said her pack was stale so we tried to take them back to the store and they gave us a whole bunch of reasons why they aren't stale so we tell them to check them or even smoke one just let them see and they said no and made us leave the store so that's why I'm writing to you now because I'd hate to cause a problem and I don't think its fair to spend my hard earned money especially with the covoid19 going on and not get what I paid for.......!!!!!!! User's recommendation: Check your cigs before purchase because you might b disappointed!!!!!
