At age in 1975 I would be given $2 and walk a block to Cumberland Farms on Pine Street in Portland and buy Winston 100s for my step mother. I always wished I had my own money to buy the 25 cent candy bars there on the shelf.

Yeah, I might have my price wrong. It was just a pack. Could have been $1.05 but that seems so low.

My dad quit in the early 70s when the price topped .01 per cigarette.
