It's 18 . . . but don't buy them in Bonnaroo . . . they are really expensive. Unless of course, you just buy them off some random dude who happens to be selling cigarettes. I always stop in VA and get a carton.

That being said . . . there are always random people selling cigarettes. It never fails that you will walk around and see someone holding up packs of camel lights or something . . . usually they just want like five bucks. But like I said, I'd just get a carton in VA (or other states with low cig tax), it is nice to not worry about running out . . . and if you're like my, you will loose at least two packs during the weekend.
I hate to sound like a preachy old fart but if you're young enough to worry about this, now would be a great time to quit. Every year that goes by the harder it will get.
although I have never been to a Bonnaroo, after being to other festivals I would definitely suggest getting a carton. Even if buying packs at the festival was just as expensive as at a gas station or whatever, a carton would still be cheaper.
Even if you don't plan on smoking all the packs, there'll always be people looking for cigarettes and you could help them out while making back some of your money at the same time.

I'll be selling the cheapest salmonella-contaminated grilled cheese sandwiches at Bonnaroo. They taste better than cigarettes and the extreme health problems they cause will only be (most likely) temporary.
yeah i won't say *anything* about the health problems cigs cause...but i will say, don't come near me with your second hand smoke!!! ;D that's the biggest pet peeve is when people blow smoke in my face. i don't care if you smoke just do it in a respectable manner

A ziploc bag in your pocket makes a much better trash can than the grass too...
also, regarding the actual question at hand... the way I see it is if you think you'll need 4 or 5 packs for the festival, buy a carton. because i guarantee you will go through them a lot faster at a festie than you have in any other weekend of your life.
and if you're 21, the american spirit tent will give away obnoxious amounts of free packs... atleast they did last year.
if you run out of cigs or lose yours and dont feel like payin five bucks,you can always swing by the natural spirit tent and give up your info and score a couple free packs...matches too if you lose your lighter...

I have said this before and I will say it again....
I roll my own cigarettes. I buy a 1lb bag of tobacco and 2 "cartons" (200 per carton) of filtered cigarette tubes for a total of $20. It lasts me a little more than a month. I have cut my smoking back by 35%.. it's not the money, it's the work...they're a little bit harder to come by. It takes me about 30-45 minutes every day to roll a pack of cigarettes, if I keep up with it.
Oh, and you have to buy a rolling machine ($7-8) and it last about 6-9 months.
Per Pack: Camels in TN (old brand): $4 before tax Gambler Tobacco, Tubes, and Love: $0.80
Rolling your own...the next best thing to quitting!

I really wish more people did this. I am a smoker, but I don't like a lot of the crap most smokers pull. Why empty your car ashtray out the window? I don't get it... But anywho, back to the festival. I usually save the first drink bottle I finish and use that as an ashtray. It seals up nicely so you don't reek like an ashtray and it fits nicely into a bottle holder on a backpack (no shit, eh?).
Also, smokers, blow your smoke straight up to others have to deal with it as little as possible. And non-smokers, if someone is bothering you with their smoke, don't be a dick about it, simply ask them to either stop or blow their smoke somewhere else. You'll get much better results with that as opposed to "Fuck off, dirty lungs!"
cigarette tax is low in KY for now and will still be in june I hope so its best to pick them up in KY. I know I'll be buying two cartons. One for me and one to sell. If you see someone selling the "Best smokes from Kentucky" or Kentuckys Best brand that would most likely be me.
