I live in California where the cigar tax is horrendous. Some of the cigars at my local tobacconist go for triple what the retail price is named as on the internet. I do like to support my local tobacconists, but my limited income won't allow me to buy the more expensive cigars there regularly. If I was to buy my cigars on the internet from a state with a lower tax, would I still have to pay the extra taxes on them to have them shipped to California? And are there any drawbacks to purchasing cigars over the internet? I apologize if this was already asked, but I did not find it with the search feature.
