I need a quick answer on US pricing

They were suppose to go up but I haven't seen it yet personally. In fact some stuff I always buy actually went down 20%.

I think it might be a while before the price increase/tax will show up or be noticeable. Most vendors are trying to keep the sales volume up and passing on the tax increase immediately might slow down their sales. Also the pre-tax stocking up some cigar smokers did might have made the vendors think about how fast to pass on the increase..To keep sales up.
Of course this is just one mans opinion, I could be wrong...

Does anyone know how much, if any, cigar sales have decreased since the tax increase?
