No Ball or popped *****!!!

I’ve been smoking Malboro Beyond Red for about 10 years now and over the last few months,I’ve been noticing that there is no ball in it or the ball is already popped! This cigarette is gone so expensive and for me it paying over R50 for a packet of cigarettes you expect quality at least. The cigarettes even now have chunks of tobacco in them and not refined like before. This is so disappointing. At first I thought it was just the one supermarket that had this popped ball beyond red. But it’s actually all over Gauteng that I’ve experienced this. Whether it’s from the Checkers or the Engen, the quality is still ***. It’s like you only get satisfied with 4 out of 20 in the box. This is ridiculous… rather sell it for half the price if you going to sell *** quality
