March 2009 tax increase?
I was at one of my b&m's the other day and one of the guys I've know for some time (he was the one that ist told me about all the changes in the perdomo line) said that several of the cigar lines were changing to cut costs for when the new cigar tax took effect in March of 2009. What's going on?

Re: March 2009 tax increase?
Did he say whether it was a state or federal tax?

I've heard something about a new tax as well, so I assume Federal. F*** that.

I thought that provision was stripped?

So... those of us in California will be paying... 70% in taxes every time we go to the B&M?

Agree about the foul language. I'll even agree that we shouldn't insult the parties that don't give a crap about us. But SCHIP has a direct bearing on cigars. If we can't discuss it here and try to organize our resistance then where can we.

No problem discussing the bill and taxes here but as we all know it just takes one mention of political parties to start the thread snowballing downhill.

This is an issue that could affect us all and I would encourage the members to discuss it, however this can be done without the mention of either political party. For further reading on Club Stogies policy regarding political discussions follow this link.

Thanks for your understanding.

Wow. Lots of complaints, but no info.
I'd also like to know how much the proposed tax is.
I prefer to be informed before I complain.
