Re: New Bill-1,650% Tax Increase on Pipe Tobacco!
Weird. This morning I was looking at he tobacco excise taxes used to fund State Children's Health Insurance Programs. looks like somebody wants to equate us good pipesmokers with those nasty roll-your-own cigarette rascals.
Pipe tobacco $2.83 per pound (effective April 2009) or $0.18/ounce or 1.5-cents per bowl
Roll-your-own tobacco $24.78 per pound (effective April 2009) or $1.55/ounce
