When I last talked to the owner of my local B&M (about a month ago) he was in the process of ordering as many boxes of cigars as he could afford and had storage space for. Since there is no floor tax, he is not raising his prices until he goes through his stock so we shouldn't see a price increase for a couple of months and then the price will only goes up as necessary to cover his increase cost.

He's a good man.

I'm glad to hear of so many B&M sticking to their guns instead of sticking it to their customers. Unlucky for me, I stopped at my local B&M yesterday to meet a buddy. A sign taped to the walk in humi said "Get your cigars today. Starting tomorrow ALL cigar prices will increase by 56 cents."

Sin taxes suck.
