Where I Live
Sorry, that may help...I live in California :)
The doubled price I pay is before sales tax. If I'm reading this correctly, they tax smokes in California by 46% of the wholesale price? Geez.

Ok, so I guess that sounds about right then. The guy is making ~53% on top of wholesale/taxed price. That's it, I'm moving!!!!! Taxes here are brutal, wow...welcome to California :).

Still a good way to try your smokes before your shell out the dough for a box. Local shops have their place

and if you decide in advance not to smoke, I can only feel sorry for you."-Sigmund Freud

Texas triumphs again. The local shops (local... 40 miles from here...) usually run about 30% more than online prices, which usually puts it right about MSRP on most things. Also the local stores only sell singles.
Truckin' It
Here in Washington (state), until July 1st of this year, the non-cigarette tobacco tax was 130% + 8.9% sales tax. It went down to 40% + sales tax after July 1st. Here, we were paying 300%+ because of dealer markup for singles and boxes in the B&Ms.
