36 cents/10 would not be a big issue for most is correct but I have read 2 articles about it and both said 30%. Of course it would not be unlike the politicians to say that 30 was abou 36 cents/10.... in TX they do that sort of crap every year on property tax proposals.

Yes. Last year, they(PA) proposed a Cigar tax that was supposed to generate $50,000,000. By taxing the same non-cigarette tobacco products. Cigars at $.36/10. This proposal like last years expects to generate $50,000,000. I take that to mean it is the same as last year, but I've been looking for a while now, and I just cannot find any solid info.

Thanks for the info on FL. Your article post dates mine...

Yes, you are correct... In the actual PA budget it shows a 30% tax. That is significant. Well see if it passes. His budget last year didn't pass as written. He actually proposed a Sales Tax increase last year. Go figure.
