Thanks for clarifying that, they still get more than enough of my money, as a single white male with a decent job ... I'm boned.

70% here in MN. They have always been forerunners for raping tobacco users. Heard they are in the process of raising it again in the near future too.

MN is currently 70% (35% on wholesale tobacco and 35% health assessment "fee") and by Monday when the budget makes it to Governor Daytons desk the tax is going to take a huge jump. Not exactly how it will impact cigars but it will pole vault us to #3 in the nation. Tax per pack of cigs will jump from roughly $1.38 to $2.58. Ugh...

Here it is:

"The governor and DFL legislative leaders already have agreed on the two key components — an income tax hike on high earners and a $1.60-per-pack hike in the tobacco tax, which would more than *double the existing levy."

What if you order online from a different state than the one you live in?

If your state has a "use tax" then you are supposed to report your out of state purchases on your state income tax form.

However, if you are one of the dozen or so people in your state who do so you will be flagged by the state as dangerously insane and your name will be turned over to the NSA for further investigation.
