It's actually called an OTP (Other Tobacco Products Tax). Here's a little info from Calif Tax Code...

30187. Every consumer or user subject to the tax resulting from a
distribution of cigarettes or tobacco products within the meaning of
subdivision (b) of Section 30008 from whom the tax has not been
collected under Section 30108 shall, on or before the last day of the
month following the end of the quarter, file with the board a report
of the amount of cigarettes or tobacco products received by him or
her in the preceding calendar …

30008. "Distribution" includes:
(b) The use or consumption of untaxed cigarettes or tobacco
products in this state.

i am not sure if this has to do with the increase in tax. but we were at a cigar shop. and the lady was telling us about the 7oz pipe tobacco priced at 7.99 will soon be priced around 20.00. does this have anything to do with the taxes? it does seem like a big jump. i am located in Idaho btw

It has something to do with the tax, but it shouldn't be that steep. I don't know what that's about. The only thing with that kind of hike is RYO, which pipe tobacco is not.
