Apparently the Pennsylvania state government is slowly making the move towards taxing all tobacco products. Apparently the unconscionable amount of money they reap off of cigarette smokers isn't enough anymore. Always looking for ways to extract just one more cent out of the people. Disgusting.

If they are wrapped in tobacco that should make the cigars no matter what size.

I had a friend in Oklahoma who smoked little cigars. They smelled much better than cigarettes.

“My fear is once they start taxing that, they’ll start taxing everything,” Mr. Meyers said. If Mr. Meyers isn't a conservative already, he may have just had the epiphany that will make him one.
It's highly ironic that the states are noticing little cigars, which have been around for years and years, only after more people have started switching over to them from cigarettes -- excercising their freedom as consumers and their right to refuse to shoulder an excessive and burdensome tax.
Sometimes it's hard to believe that this is the same country that once had a Boston Tea Party and a Whiskey Rebellion.

As a nonsmoker I haven't been paying attention, but have the feds and the states figured out that some people roll their own?

It's been nearly fifty years ago that, as a teenager, I inhaled a draw from a Between the Acts little cigar. I'm still coughing.
