Wisconsin Sales Tax on Tobacco Starting Jan. 1, 2025

[Singularis]

Well I’ve been floating along merrily for 7 years with my online orders which Wisconsin did not extract their sin tax from. But the day has come when the gov’t gets their blood money. Oh well. When I was living in Washington state before my current state, I could not order anything online. Counting my blessings where I have them, and ordering while I have some money in the bank.

Thanks for the heads up @Singularis. Order placed!

More information on the bill's movement towards an act, sponsors, etc. Here

strike-throughs are common when amending legislative language, at least in MN. It shows a record of what was and what's been changed/amended

Sorry to see this

I just hit the order button. Will probably do one more like this each month before Jan

This law is so wrong

But this order is so right

I put in a Colorado address and went to checkout to see what SPC does:

So basically, we’ll see the same thing here in WI starting 2025, except that the sin tax will be even higher (at least 36%). So if I make this order here today, I’ll be saving $66, no foolin’.

Heads up @SmokingMedic and @Home Brewing Piper, in case you’ve missed this thread until now.

Over a decade ago I could see this (and other types of changes) coming with the influx of a certain mind-set flooding into Colorado and knew it was going to be changing for the worse - it did, and very quickly.
So despite my love for the natural aspect of the state, I chose to move away from "that".

Well guess what happens when the “other mind set” has the power? Nothing. See the decade of control “the other mindset” had in Wisconsin. Nothing changed.

I noted earlier, the genie is out of the bottle with this.

Show us your haul when it arrives. I’d love to see the blends you picked.

Washington State has entered the thread.

You should try living in Canada. I was recently looking at some tins of Macbaren at my local B&M. $72 for 1.75 ounces! Talk about nuts!

 

[NotGlenMiyashiro]

Sounds like you boys have gotten in an uproar over this tax increase. Sounds like you need to vote all the bastards out.

"Stock up" = acceptance.
Oppose and stock up = wisdom .

I don't like paying more ever. But I do think that the silver lining of states taking taxes on pipe tobacco sales, does at least give them more incentive to be friendlier to us and their coffers.

 

[anotherbob]

I feel like Smoking Pipes should pay me some kind of commission — or even just store credit — for the sales I helped them make with this post!

They'll break out their hidden stash of Capin Black Grape for you. I hear you'll know when it arrives by the scent reaching into your bedroom from the mailbox.

Happy New Year everyone. Just checked SmokingPipes and there's the highly anticipated 71% excise tax.

 

[ThomasS]

Yep, just checked that myself.

I’ll have a nice pile to show in the TAD thread for my last excise-free spree

 

[SBC]

Yep, I've never spent much at a time on tobacco, but I dropped a couple hundred in the last few days, in case this turned out to be true. Somehow I wondered if it wouldn't really happen...but it did. Glad I erred on the side of caution.

Pretty soon y'all will have shady dudes selling dime bags of cherry cavendish in needle-strewn public parks.
