Also FL has -0- Tax on Cigars so not quite sure how PA would still be the lowest. Several other states have less than 30% also.

The proposal I saw was $.36 per 10 cigars, still looking for the actual budget. Didn't Florida begin taxing cigars last year? By weight ($1 per OZ)If I'm correct.

Edit: Now that I'm looking, some sources are quoting 30%. That would be significant, but I'm still trying to find it in the actual budget.
