Cigar boxes in London, Ontario?

Hey folks.Any other Ontarians out here?I'm having a really hard time finding any cigar boxes in London, Ontario. I was recently in Kingston and saw a huge pile of empties in a smoke shop so I assumed that I could find them just as easily when I got home.. no dice! I can't find a cigar-selling smoke-shop for the life of me!Any tips on where to look are greatly appreciated.AbeSee More
