John Player Cigarettes complaint: Dry cigarettes

When I bought a carton of players regular 25 cigarettes I found that they were all extremely dry . And stall .. i I landed up smoking them because I could not return an opened carton of cigarettes to the store and they cost me an arm and a keg $130.99. For a carton of 8 packages …and I could not afford another carton at the time … which was just wrong and it tasted gross and shouldn’t have to smoke anything so dry .. I am in my last pack before I can afford another carton .. I might even try to change brand names although players is what I have always smoked and never ran into such a horrible experience in my life time …. I have smoked for approximately 44 years now and am considering brand names .. shame on you players for putting a Caron full of stall and dry smokes on the shelf sincerely Shirley Forth
How do I get reimbursed for my carton of smokes whether it’s be by cash or by cigarettes????
