I know that it is my duty to pay my CA taxes on purchases but COME ON!! I will be an internet bandit for now.

Well put, I couldn't have said it better.

Unfortunately, that is California. At my local B&M, that cigar goes for either $8.99 or $9.99. The owner has to eat and pay his bills. I'm at my local B&M twice a week and I spend $30 - $50 per week. He knows I buy my inventory online but he is cool with that. Hell this afternoon I was using his laptop to bid on Cigar Bid. Every now and then I buy a box from him. In addition to singles, I buy my misc. goodies from him.

Yet another reason CA never seems to cross my mind as an option to move to. Those taxes are inhumane!
