The reason they’re cheaper is because they don’t need to charge tax on them.

I understand. Thank you for confirming it.

I’ve heard people here in Europe sometimes save on cigarettes in a similar way, by buying them across the border, where taxes are lower, or in duty-free shops at airports, but that’s possibly outdated or even made-up hearsay I’ve never checked.

That’s interesting there isn’t anything on wiki about it. It’s not a secret or anything.

There may be something I missed, or it might be such an inconsequential and uncontroversial phenomenon that no one deemed it worth documenting.

Reservation cigarettes negate those prices though.

TIL that, on at least some Indian reservations in the United States, cigarettes are sold, sold at a lower price and sold to the general public. I could not find a reference on Wikipedia; all I found was a seemingly unofficial webpage.
