I feel pretty fortunate in AZ. Tax is like a flat 25 cents per cigar, or something like that. I go to Fox Cigar Bar and smoke and drink to my hearts content. I smoke outdoors to my hearts content.

I burn up in miserable 115 "dry" heat in the summer, which results in a much bigger monthly bar tab at Fox in the cool AC

But right now it's about 90 and I'm enjoying a pipe in the courtyard outside of my work. It's very nice right now.

I think Texas is pretty good for cigars too.
