One more reason to love TEXAS

Texas is Tennessee's sister state. If I could'nt live in Tennessee I would live in Texas.

Yes, Tennessee gave Texas Davey Crockett and Mr. Sam Houston who is from nearby Maryville, TN. Maybe you've heard of a town in Texas named after him...Houston, TX. TN and TX two awesome states in the Union.

1,1 cents a stick ! I wish....

Up here in the frozen wastes of Canada we pay about 55% tax on cigars. So that $10 smoke become a $15.50 smoke before you even buy it !!

Even ordering from supplies in the USA can be tough, most I've emailed have said they won't ship to Canada. Also tobacco taxes are handled by provincial goverments so I can't even order form other provinces.

They still won't stop me from enjoying cigars !

I didn't realize that was the percentage, but when the tobacconist sells it he has to add on more money, so we end up paying atleast $20 for that stick


I also had a couple USA company's tell me they will not ship here due to "Tarrifs etc" You just have to look around though, there are a few company's who have no problem sending packages up north

Yeah but we don't have national healthcare in the US.

Thank God. The last thing I want is the idiots running our government to have control over my healthcare. Now, if they want to have some kind of funding for the poor or elderly (can anyone say Medicare/Medicaid?) I have no problem with that, but no fucking way do I want the government to control what healthcare I can and can't get or when I can and can't get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think in canada they can go to a pay clinic anywhere they want, the government provides but doesn't require they use it. But anyway, thats one reason I heard tobacco taxes in canada are high because it balances out with any of the healthcare costs.

America's current patchwork private/public health care system is at the proverbial swirl before the drain. Clearly, there are flaws to the Canadian system, and any national health care system would have some definite liabilities, but the longer Americans delude themselves into believing the current system is the least bit sustainable, the larger the health pandemic of tomorrow will be.

Even the big bad government argument isn't effective since countries with national health care plans have administrative costs as much as 80% lower than our system's has. I'll resist the temptation to lecture on....lol.
