But the tax on pipe tobacco didn't go up much. Today people buy their cigarette tobacco in a bag labeled ‘pipe tobacco’, but it is the same damn thing.
I was responding to a poster who was paying $45/lb for smooth pipe tobacco - that’s too much of a retail mark-up - I pay around $14/lb...well, unless that posters state tax on pipe is through the roof.
I have some tinned AS cigarette tobacco pre-SCHIP - it’s STILL good!
