CAPITAL REGION — Every month or so, Carl Smith doesn’t go home at the end of his night shift.
Instead, as the sun rises, he drives north out of Amsterdam, 170 miles to an Indian reservation near the Canadian border. There’s a smoke shop up there that sells cartons of cigarettes for just $12.
“There’s no way you can beat that,” Smith said.
Smith isn’t this guy’s real name. He spoke to The Gazette on the condition of anonymity since his monthly cigarette runs constitute a misdemeanor under state law.
