But they have been taxed ‘bigly’ since Rendells YUUUUGE tax increase in 2008(?) I bought my cigars (Capt. Black) for 2.75 a pack and Rendell put them WAYYY up. MAYBE the 2016 tax law means from the Price AFTER Rendells horse crap?

[Bruce Kurtz]

Did not know Capt Black made cigars. I checked on line and they sell “little cigars”. Could be PA counts these little cigars as cigarettes.

Bill Clinton hardest hit.

Question. Are Cuban cigars showing up in the US for sale these days?

[Bruce Kurtz]

No, you can buy them outside the US and legally bring in a pretty sizable amount.

[xp38]

Ok...which before wasn’t the case I guess

[Bruce Kurtz]

Since the Fall of 2016, the U.S. allows you to bring in up to 100 cigars (four standard boxes) or $800 worth without paying a duty, whether the cigars are Cuban, or not.

Such insanity, these taxes are always sold as a way to fund anti smoking programs to kids and to cover all those extra health care costs caused by smokers(BOLSHEVIK!) and then they bust their humps to reduce the number of smokers.

Oh wait now there aren't enough smokers to keep the entitlement programs funded, what shall we do, cut back the programs because they are working and smokers are reduced? Hell no, less smokers mean we have to increase the taxes because an entitlement can never ever be removed.
