Oh, and I used to buy cartons and bring them back into Pakistan. I could get serious favors with a cigarette or two. A whole pack would require something extra special. A lot of times, I could get something for the empty box/pack! These guys would walk around with an empty Marlboro pack in a shirt pocket. It was a status symbol!
In India, the lower level guys didn't smoke. We used digital watches! I picked up 2 dozen watches in Singapore for about $1 each.
