How to Get Cigarette Cards
Instead of going around looking for every card around the whole map, we have found a way you can easily complete this Stranger Mission. The only catch is that you need to have $2,000 ad hand and your Satchel should be full upgraded.
Firstly, you need to go to any General Store of major towns in the game. Then buy a Premium Cigarette Pack from the store. Each of these Premium Packs contains a Cigarette Card.
This process has to be repeated and it can take about 15 minutes if your Satchel is fully upgraded. In total, Premium Packs will take about $2,000 to collect all the Cigarette Cards. This method saves up a lot of time, considering that Cigarette Cards are randomly placed and can be missed easily.
Any of the cards that you find as loot can be sold for good money. So you don’t necessarily lose money in buy them from the General Store.
Once you have collected all the cards, go to the post office and mail them to Phineas. H will then send you a reward of $200 for collecting the Cards, and will also complete the mission: Smoking and Other Hobbies.
