Myself, I would take the ferry over to Victoria and support this guy's store. He's preserved his shop - still has the original exterior from the early 1900's that advertise tobacco. Advertising tobacco is illegal now. However, his store is a heritage site, so it is illegal for him to do anything but preserve the exterior of his store. Catch-22.
I realized that, having not used it in many years, my passport is now expired. I know that getting through customs to and from Victoria has been traditionally easier than the mainland border crossings but I'll have to see if that's still the case. Otherwise it's going to take a while to get my passport renewed. Fingers crossed for a simple boat ride to heaven. Even if I can't smoke at a lounge it's still a Cuban!!
