Hopefully cigar prices will go down

Here in Wash. State, the tobacco tax was 130 % until july 1st when it went down to 40 %. I don't think that the tax covers cigarettes which have their own set of taxes. I am very thankful to the ligislature here because the store where I have bought singles has been able to triple their selection and inventory. I hope that this elimination of trade restrictions on (specifically cigar-producing countries oddly enough)brings the prices here into an even more reasonable range. I like to support the live stores if I can instead of just buying online. Good times here.

Even though Cigar manufacturers use almost zero pounds of US grown tobacco, Cigar manufacturers willll be required to pay a share of the US farmer buyout program.
