Local Cigar Shop: Cigar Price Markup

[Drdda]

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.

I live in Kirkland, WA. And I paied $15 for my first cigar CAO cameroon tubo II in my local smoke shop about a month ago. I have never gone back there since I realized it was 300%+ price of online reatailers.
