$10 per stick cigar tax?

[cls515]

Hex, how would a tax like this work? Some cigars are not made in the US, they are imported as you know of course. Is it the retailers that charge the cosumer the tax? What about orders overseas? Would the tax affect cigar orders that are placed with retailers in a different country?

I am pretty sure it is the retailers that will tax the consumers, who will then spend less thereby putting many a tobacconist out of business. If you are referring to buying your Cubans or other various cigars from another country I am sure there would be some kind of way around it, legal or otherwise.
