Took this pricing course (c. 1992). IIRC, a carton's COGS was around $6. Everything thing else is the various markups,
taxes, taxes, taxes, and more taxes. So the companies are predicting an 8% decrease. I don't see it stated where the remaining sales would come from.
Indian Reservations, and ???. I don't know the price/pack in most of the neighboring states. I wonder how many out of staters buy in PA?
