    definately not good for us. if this goes through looks like we're gonna need to pick up a new habit.


    20,000% is an absolutely ridiculous spike in tax rates. never in the history of the U.S. has there been a raise so high.

    Yea, but you did say it was really good. Better one good smoke for 30 vs a bundle of crap.

    True...even at 30 bucks it was still worth it. Although it would be nicer at 10-15/pop.

    But I am sure you know all too well what crazy tobacco taxes feel like.

    I'm not too worried. 45 Democrats in the House joined the majority of Republicans to vote against it, so they don't have the 2/3 majority in the House. The Senate, they do have 2/3 but not in the House. So I'm not worried yet.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    But it could be reconfigured to please those who oppose, while still relying on a hefty tobacco tax. That is what I am really worried about...this problem isn't just going to disappear with a veto or by being voted down.

    You could vote for Hillary. I hear Bill is a cigar lover

    Apologies ahead of time for offending, but damn it had to be said!
