Looking for a tobacco shop....

[ben88]

In Staten Island. Any recommendations?

Ben, I think your best bet is in Manhattan. Have you used the shop locator here on the site?

Huge taxes in NY. You're close enough to NJ to go there if you have other shopping to do. Less huge taxes there or continue west to Pa where taxes were just raised but still way below those of NY and NJ and it's only another $1.00 in tolls.

Have you tried asking your local tobacconist?

B&Ms are great. I have a couple here in CO, and I really like Edward's. BUT.... don't undervalue the great online online choices either

Yeah 75% tax on tobacco that the store pays and then has to roll over onto the customer and that's not including the sales tax.
You're better off going to Jersey. Heck isn't SI part of Jersey? :rofl:
I don't know of any tobacconists in SI but in Manhattan you've got Nat Sherman and Barclayrex.
This is probably your closest one in jersey:

Lifetime NYC resident, I'd suggest you buy from an online retailer.
