Arrrgh..California Cigar Prices...

[romwarrior]

Yeah, I feel bad that I don't support many B&M's here but the prices are just insane. I just can't bring myself to do it. It's kind of like going to Staples Center and paying $10 for a beer. Sometimes I do it because I'm with friends or at an event, but most of the time no. I feel bad for the B&M's because it's not their fault.

You let me know what you need and I'll buy'em here for ya to ship...$11 for a 601 is crazy!

48% tax. Yep, that's fair.

Still need to support the B&M or they will disappear.

I agree with tazzie your tax might be high in California but pails in comparison to how we are taxed north of the boarder.

To put this in perspective an Ashton VSG Robusto runs about $23 up here.

I only have one "real" B&M here, and i'd be lucky to find an ashton. You don't move to Australia for the tobacco, that's for sure!

Yeah I have a B&M selling for the same price!!! Sorry Mark that is the price we pay for having so many other benefits!!! Like having a movie star Governor, Sunshine, Beaches, etc...

Same thing here in HI, ridiculous taxes, high rent, and needing to ship everything in, makes for some really high prices. I wouldn't mind paying them if we had a B&M with a decent selection. I could at least try singles and see if they were worth a 5-pack or box from online.
