Well, here is one alternative:
Can't stand the high taxes?
Afraid to order off of the Internet?
Then start rolling your own!!!
I roll out a beautiful carton for a little under $8 dollars. Premiums in my state are now up to $45-$50 a carton. Can you imagine the money I have saved over the past 4 years since I now roll my own? It's mind boggling.
under $50.00
$5.75 a bag
$1.99 for 200 filtered tubes
and
I think I'll keep my keyboard quiet and retain my posting privleges.................
I wish all smokers would do this. The various states would be howling if they did. What fun would that be to witness!
Oh my God----here come the bootleggers!
I wonder how tobacco grows in Maine.....
Back when I smoked, I used a kit named Larados. A machine, tobacco and little cigaratte jackets,
Worked just fine for a poor little girl.
Thanks so very much for the links, SheLion.
That Smokers United link, however, had to many popups. I've placed a link on my Desktop to come back later to. I couldn't find a link to register.
Again, thanks. Much appreciated as I was looking for one such a site.
Re: Smokers United
Can't get back to the site above.
Now all I get is a popup on the left upper corner and a blank page. Help!
Don't they tax the loose tobacco the same as the factory cigs?
I just bought my annual bag of pipe tobacco, and didn't pay much attention how much of it was taxed.
Personally, I'm too lazy to roll my own "fags"; the pipe is easier in my opinion.

As to growing tobacco; they use "hothouses" and such to grow marijuhanna up here year round, don't they?
I would suppose that if you had a good sized barn or greenhouse, that you could probably culture a sufficient tax-free crop to feed your personal addiction for a while.
And you could probably get all the info you neen on drying, curing, and processing it on the internet.
Since it's a legal crop, they can't bust you for growning it like it was pot, can they? The only way you could get in trouble with the law is if you tried to sell it without collecting the tax, I suppose, much like "moonshine".
The last I knew you could set up a still and run off about 55 gallons of "white lightning" as long as it was for your "personal use" and not sold to anyone.
If you (and perhaps a few close friends) "consumed" your product as you went along, how are the Revenooer's ever going to prove if or when you've surpassed your 55 gallon annual allotment, I wonder?
Home - grown obacco is probably a similar deal, don't you think?
Has anyone ever really tried growing tobacco at home in this sort of climate?
