Looks like the PA legislature is in the process of
bringing in a rather severe (ramping up to 60% of the
wholesale price). What effect is this going to have
on CI/Cigarbid (as well as other PA retailers)

... just have them all shipped to me first ... I don't have to pay PA sales tax ... I'll then take (2) cigars out of your stash for Administrative Fees and then forward the remaining sticks to you (C.O.D. of course) ...

I don't live in PA. But my reading of the law is that
this tax is collected when it's sold by the wholesaler.
It doesn't matter if the eventual customer is out of
state.

Hello _ & _ Cigars! If this tax passes, ohmyGod, then you might move into the same league with California as far as to taxation!

If it actually does effect the way Cbid does business,I think they should pick up their toys and say good bye to PA.

There is a nice little place down the road from my house CI could move to. I will even help with organizing inventory - LOL.
