Where Do You Order Cigars From?

[The Master]

SuperChuck, they are great for mail order because you don't have to pay that ridiculous R.I state tobacco tax. As far as being a walk in, just ask for Mike the owner and tell him Harris sent you and he will work with you on the prices same as with mail order.

Where do you live?

LOL! He lives in Rhode Island so if you walk in and buy them, you have to pay the RI sales tax.

I've bought from Regency BUT I keep asking them to call me when they get and Padron 1926s in and they never do. They've been telling me on numerous occasions for the past seven months that they'll let me know and again, they've never called me. I've bought a few boxes of DC Maximus and at least two boxes of 1926s from them in the past so at least I'm one of their customers.

So I bought them somewhere else and saved $60.00.

I thought tobacco tax was assessed on stock, not on sale. In other words, they pay it whether it's sold locally or online.

I'm about 20 minutes from Regency, down in Jamestown.
In fact, I just drove by Regency yesterday morning. I thought about stopping in, but I was smoking a nice Centro Fino Sungrown at the time and didn't want to interrupt it. :)

CC, pm me your name and I'll make sure they call you from now on.

Chuck, if they ship cigars out of state then there is no tobacco tax.Since you are in state other arrangments can be made. I'll pm you with these details.

[The Master]

CC, from now on check with me before you buy any non Cuban, I'll make sure you get the lowest price possible.

It seems tobacco gets a double whammy. The excise tax is paid on stock and included as part of the price, whether it's sold in state or out of state doesn't matter.

Then I guess it may also get hit with state sales tax, which would be added at purchase time. That particular tax isn't added to mail order.

I thought anything with an excise tax didn't ge hit with sales tax? Am I wrong? Does it depend on state law?

[The Master]

Tobacco tax is only paid if the cigar is sold in state. When we order cigars from companies like JR we do not pay any type of excise or tobacco tax.

I order most of my cigars from www.regencycigar.com. Their prices on line are just average, but the owner Mike will work with you on the prices. He'll match or beat anyones price. Just ask for Mike and tell him Harris sent you.
