I94 Tobacco Outlet owner Tim Mead


I94 Tobacco Outlet owner Tim Mead stands next to the cigarette “RYO Filling Station” in his shop. Mead sells customers the tobacco and tubes, and rents time on the machine for them to make “smokes.” In doing so, they avoid paying about $35 per carton in state and federal manufacturing taxes.
