This concerns cigarette taxes and not pipe related so I will post this within this category of general discussion. As of today cigarette taxes in Massachusetts are increased $1.00 MORE per pack. I believe this doubles the tax on cigarettes. People will now be swarming over the state border to New Hampshire to buy their smokes. I am not a cig smoker but feel that his is excessive for sure. It's only time before the politicians whack the other tobacco products with more taxes as well. I believe that cigs will now run about $80.00 or more per carton. Obscene. :evil:
