It also breaks it down to show comparisons not only state to state but it also includes snuff, chew, and cigarettes.

Whoa, the last change in tobacco tax in Kansas was 1972!

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Well, only 28% in ND... anyone need anything. :)

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Ya gotta love Taxachusetts! Why am I still here?

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

I'm about to go to RI in a few weeks, but with an 80% tax I'll be sure to bring my own.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Proud to live in PA, but I'm pretty sure the laws are changing.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

:tpd: except I'm in NC.
North Carolina is currently discussing a tax hike on tobacco and alcohol. It'll probably go through.:mad:

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Last few times they tried to raise the tax on cigars, snuff, and pipe tobacco it failed. It is in the proposed 2009-2010 budget though. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

This is why I don't buy any cigars in state :r

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Is this why the Massholes are such a surly lot?









Kidding... :rolleyes:

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

That and you don't need anymore glass-tops. ;)

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Why you always gotta dog on my Fauxhibo's???

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Hey I wasn't doggin' -- just sayin' you didn't need any more. :dance:

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

I think Alaska is 75%, not Arizona... arizona looks like 20.25-218¢/10 cigars... if I'm reading this right.

GA looks pretty good! :)

I'm not sure on the % but it figures out to around a quarter per cigar here in AZ.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Arizona tobacco tax is $0.218 (21.8 cents) per cigar.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

lemme just say Im glad I dont do chew, snuff or smoke cigarettes in MA!

Nobody taxes like Taxachusetts! :c

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Viva New Hampshire and Florida!

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

yeah all 10 of us out here haven't got around to raising taxes so those darn kids don't switch to just buying cheaper forms of tobacco :r

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Yeah right.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Check out Arkansas at 68% mfr. price.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

I like all those "none's" here in PA. I have to pay 6% sales though.
Explains why CI and Famous remain so cheap.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Alaska is 99% on wholesale price per stick, that 75% is the base that they add more too but what they add isn't a tax. They effectively doube the cost of any cigar. And don't forget shipping is always more money too. USPS is too slow and its too cold so Next Day Air is only option. When a Macanudo Robusto costs $9 you know you are in trouble. And this was before SCHIP. Lived there for 6 years and bought maybe 12 cigars tops.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Glad I live in Ga.....10%.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

It's actually 23% of the wholesale price on cigars, 10% is for chewing baccy and snuff

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

I think the 75% of Alaska was misread for Arizona. Arizona actually has reasonable taxes. I can find deals throughout the area...

Yeah I noticed that also. By the way, Florida also has no state income taxes either. :bh

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

As of July 1, 2009

California tax is 41.11% down from 45.13%

still high, but a decrease is a decrease.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

In the UK it is £169 per kilo of cigars plus 15% VAT ("value" added tax). That changes a £2 robusto to around £4 depending on the weight. We is robbed!

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Try in Canada it is more than double the price of the cigar:mad:

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Glad I live in VA.....10% :banger

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

I live in Wisconsin and it sucks. The tax here is unbelievable. Where is our freedoms anymore.:td

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

The local B&M here charges 17% on the sticker price, not the wholesale price. Hmmm...dipping into pockets.

I grabbed a $7.50 stickered LFD maduro chiselito - and it rang up at $9.34! For some, not bad...for me, too much! They charge the 17% plus an addition 6.5% Ohio sales tax. Total = 23% mark-up on every stick.

I asked how they compete with internet prices. He said they can't, but all of us are supposed to be paying an ohio usage tax...meaning, we send the government 17% above everything we buy on-line to shi[ into Ohio.

Not sure most folks even know that usage tax exists, let alone pay it.

Makes it pretty tough to enjoy a cigar. But, what are ya going to do?

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Feal bad for you folks living in Massachusetts, I hear there is word now they're upping it up to 120% pheww. Does anyone even buy their smokes in state there?

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Well West Virginia has 1 perk at least!

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Glad to be moving back down to Va from Ct, sheesh!

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

As of July 1, 2010

the California Tobacco tax will be 33.02%

That is just 8 points off the rate it was in 1997, before it tripled.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

and I am reminded yet again why I primarily use that thar' "intrawebs" thang. The nannies try to strangle the tobacco users so they can make the huge revenues, and the people simply bypass their confiscatory taxation. I thought it was 75% instead of 70% here, but in either case, regrettable, for the culture, small business, and the individual here.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

That's Alaska @ 75% LOL!

Arizona = 20.25-218¢/10 cigars

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

I can't wait for NY to pass the 90% on cigars. :td

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

that's just f@ckin' stupid. :bh

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Well I guess it's nice being in FL...No Excise Tax on cigars woo.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Every time this thread gets bumped, I die a little inside.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

So it shows 3.6-120¢/10 Cigars for Oklahoma


What Exactly does that mean? Any Ideas? :bhd

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

What is strange is that cigarette smoking is more directly linked to major illnesses such as bronchitis and lung cancer than cigars are. Yet, cigars take the brunt end of taxation. I've known a lot of cigar smokers in my circle of family and friends. NONE of them had died of a 'tobacco' related illness. I'm not burying my head in the sand but facts speak for themselves. But all tobacco deaths are lumped together. Painting with the wide brush, including cigars as one of the many evils, even though cigarettes are nothing but chemically infused tobacco paper.

I just bought a box of My Father LE 2010's in Nashville last week. The LOCAL tax was 1.00 per cigar. The total tax on the box was $29.00.

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Looked up the details for Texas and for what we would likely call a cigar it is 1.1 cents each.

This is the direct link to the Texas cigar tax law (in HTML).

From a general tax perspective, there is no state income tax and the state sales tax is 6.25%. In Houston proper the local sales taxes add 2% more for 8.25% total.

For anyone interested here is a direct link to the SCHIP law (in PDF).

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

These outrageous taxes are just another way for the government to try controlling what, when, and with whom we do whatever we do. Sad... Very sad!!

Re: Cigar excise tax broken down state by state
 

Taxes Suck!!! It is good info to have though.
