I'm on a health kick right now, so I only smoked filtered. Thank you for the link.

Way to go, Greydog. I don't smoke, and never have. But, I think the anti-smoking nazi's are going way overboard. Both my parents smoked, I didn't kill me, yet, and I'm 40, nor did it turn me into a smoker.

I brew my own beer for similar reasons, not to mention its a lot better tasting.

I hate to burst anyone's bubble here - but you are paying taxes on the bulk tobacco, just not as much as those on cigarettes.

Bulk tobacco is generally taxed as a percentage of the wholesale price, which is why it is so much lower than the cigarette taxes which are based per pack.

And if anyone is buying Bugler tobacco you are also paying into the Master Settlement agreement - because it is produced by Brown and Williamson.

I make my own as well, have been for just about 3 years and estimated that we have cost the state of Delaware alone over $1500 in taxes and MSA payments in each of those years.

Funny thing, though...the UN has a fine, luxurious smoking lounge for its smokers. Go figure.

You folks might want to bookmark this forum: Home Grown Tobacco. The new home of Alan Daly's Tobacco Chat forum. Just in case.
