New Mexico Raises Tobacco Tax

[reloader]

Since

Since the vape store already stocks at least some actual tobacco products, I’m wondering how the owner would respond if you were to ask that they stock specific blends you’d actually want to buy. You might have to pass along contact info for the distributors, but maybe they’d be willing to experiment with expanding their selection.

I've talked to a local grocery store that carries tobacco products and they said they would start to order some pouches. They told me they had one other person ask about pipe tobacco. We'll see if they can get it in. I may talk to the vape shop guys about it as well. Great idea.

Keep your eyes on your own legislatures. I don't trust any of them. Buy as much as you can as often as you can.

I'll have to ask my B&M about that eventually. They've recently made a big push for pipe stuff, so hopefully they'll start making enough off that to diversify. I'm sure they might at least want to start selling Seattle Pipe Club tins, being a local brand and all that.

In my state of Washington, the tax on "other" tobacco products (such as cigars, pipe tobacco, snuff, and chewing tobacco) is 95% of the wholesale price. Let's just say I do the bulk of my buying elsewhere, and have been doing it with urgency.

It is also illegal to order pipe tobacco online in WA. I had a *friend* who had all his tobacco sent to a relative in OR when he was living in WA. Hope you are taking precautions.

New Mexico has been run by---and financially raped by---greedy, bent politicians for a long time.

They don't even try to hide it:

Middle of Nowhere: New Mexico’s Multi-Million Dollar Blunder

I don't think that particular phenomenon is unique to New Mexico...

Yep. At least they are going to outright ban it yet like they are planning to do in Oregon this year. The best advice is to stock up now.

Ban Tobacco. Yet you can possess Heroin and other drugs freely. What are we coming to?

Yeah if Oregon passes that bullshit flavor ban and there isn't an exemption for premium cigars and pipe tobacco then most Washingtonians won't be able to order any, it's bad enough we might get a flavor ban too. I'm totally against flavor bans as they're classic overreach and adults should not be punished for kids accessing things they aren't supposed to in the first place, but I hope that California's law will at least set precedent for cigars and pipes being exempted.

I don't care for flavored cigars but there's a lot of companies like Drew Estate were stuff like Acids help provide revenue for higher brow lines like Liga Privada. Every bullshit law that passes hurts us all because it means fewer sales and sets precedent for more following suit. Pipe tobacco even moreso, producers might need to start selling unflavored versions of aromatic blends with an easy DIY flavoring treatment, like those menthol cards that are sold in countries where menthol is banned.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies." Yep.

Tobacco stimulates the mind others dull it.

I'm about the same distance from any b&m that sells tins. My local only sells renamed sutliff bulk and c&d bulk which I mean it's something better then nothing but as has been said before I'm buying as much as I can afford. Eventually I will have enough to last a life time but the TAD is always itching and if I'm paying more in taxes then the wholesale amount of a tin I'll stop buying. Hopefully it doesn't

That's ok i saw a video the other day where they asked a bunch of college aged kids what currency New Mexico uses and 12 of the 15 didn't know. So you've got that going for you!

There is no incentive for politicians to solve problems. I trust wolves and stomach flu far more.
