NY taxes....too damn high!!!! I order from CI and all the PA internet cigar and pipe companies....well because it's cheaper than NY. Unless sometimes at the local B&M, I'll help them and buy a few sticks.

New Jersey 30%
New York 75%*
(*New York’s cigar tax is set at 75 percent, but the state has established an “industry standard relief” that can be applied in some instances. This rate is effectively 28.5 percent of the wholesale price. )

Holy Jebus!!!!
I read something the other day that said because of the high taxes of the surrounding states OA wanted to just go as high as they could right off the bat. Sucks. I grew up in PGH. Hope it doesn't pass......... Again.
Pretty sure we get hit with the tax also.

Yes. All prices will go up. And as Famous said, they won't have the ability to do sweet things like the Cigar Monster anymore.
I really hope it doesn't go through. I'm not involved in politics enough to really understand why taxes must go up all the time and what they really have to gain from this particular tax in general. I think the country should just sell weed and tax the ish out of that so we can all be out of debt like Colorado. Just my opinion.... Lol

That tax will only effect residents purchasing in the state of PA. Out of state taxes (Sales tax and tobacco tax), still do not have to be collected at the time of purchase, so anyone purchasing in the other 49 states WILL NOT be required to pay tobacco taxes at the time of purchase if there is a tobacco tax imposed in PA. They currently don't collect sales tax now either on out of state purchases.
Same as it was before, the purchaser is responsible for paying their state tobacco and sales taxes on online purchases from out of state vendors when they file their taxes if they were not collected at the time of purchase.
A few years back, a member here in CO bought cigars online from a shop in OH and a year later got a letter from CO saying he owed CO taxes for that purchase, not OH.
I imagine at some point there will be taxes collected for each state on all online purchases at the time of purchase, but that is a different conversation....
If you are a PA resident then you should definitely let your voice be heard, a 40% tax is ridiculous right out of the gate.

It's not a sales tax increase on cigars, it is an excise tax on wholesale cost of the cigars It will impact all of us inside the state and anyone outside the state that buy from PA based companies.
It will kill B&Ms within the state and impact those companies that ship outside of PA.

Exactly!!! If the wholesale price increases by 40% deals will be much harder to find.
If you live in PA, flood the mayors office with mail, reach out to your state reps and senators. We have to stop this increase!!
