SCgarman Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Looks like they are going after cigarettes. I see no mention of the word cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the Ballot Summary. =Tax on other types of tobacco products such as cigars, roll-your-own, and chewing tobacco would change from the current rate (35% of the wholesale price) and be increased to 55% of the wholesale price. I don't know where they found a median of cigarrette prices of $1.35 a pack. I have not seen that price since the mid 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzy Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Sheesh I wish I had 55% tax. 75% here in NY where they love to tax the crap out of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYers should buy their cigars online exclusively. 75% excise tax is comical at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time I buy any locally is if there's a new cigar I want to try I'll stop in and pick up a single. I should say I'm just glad I don't have to pay the taxes on tobacco like they do in the UK, Canada, New Zealand or Australia. That's just highway robbery.
