Attn: OR cigar smokers

Oregon legislature has just passed a bill that will reduce the tax from 65% wholesale to 65% wholesale with a maximum of &#36.50 a cigar! That means a cigar that has a MSRP of &#3610 will sell for &#3610.50 rather than &#3613.25! The bill goes into effect on Jan. 1st, 2002. Thanks to everybody that contacted their congressmen/women!

Sounds great! You guys in Oregon are pretty lucky when it comes to taxes anyways. You don't have to pay sales tax, do you?

 

[purosdave]

No sales tax, we do have a pretty hefty property tax though.

Don't forget the fairly hefty income tax also.The cigar tax will make it a lot easier to buy some of my faves from the locals.
