California- Don't be like Alaska- No on 86

I'd head to your B&M's today just in case, boys. I have my fingers crossed for 'ya; as a citizen of nearly 300% tobacco tax, I can empathize.

Damn... I would have thought Alaska would be a lot more libertarian.

Another freedom falls to marching totalitarian leftist health gestapo.

I am hard pressed to find any cigar for under 7 dollars at the local B&M. I am a supporter of local business, but the cost of a cigar due to taxes makes it hard.

Don't become like us up here. The tax is aimed at cigarettes, but it will impact cigars the most because you can still order cigars online and avoid the tax.

Local tobacconists are hurting while the tax gives out of state vendors a huge advantage.

Just wanted to remind you all to stick to your guns and get out the vote.

Don't be like Alaska.

Hey Bilder nice to know CS reaches all the way to AK - I think I may me moving there within the next 2 months. There are a lot of positive things I'll take in trade for Alaska'a high tobacco tax...namely a bunch of microbreweries, fishing, hunting, snow, decent commute, etc. (well the commute to the NS may not be very good, but at least I won't be driving).
