Many cigar smokers have long since abandoned the brick and mortar stores and bought smokes on-line.

These state taxes have contributed to the creation of on-line mega-stores like Cigars International, Holts, Cigar.com, Cigarpage, Cigarplace, Famous, Bestcigarprices and others.

They thank California for the new business.

Interesting fact—most of these mega-stores are located in PA—because PA has no taxes on cigar sales.

I did not know that, I buy from Famous smoke shop. But Holts and Cigar.com are located very close to each other in Bethleham,Easton and N. Philly.

Not that our Democrap Governor didn't try. He had to back down when these folks threatened to take thousands of jobs out of the state.

Just wait till their respective states start to obtain the sales records of these online sellers then go after the buyers for the unpaid taxes to the state.......

That's what a lot of states did to the out of state cigarette buyers......My state of Michigan included.
