The founders were wise. This is why states are free to make there own decisions. People will vote with their feet. MD will wither and die.
Also, the reason the “yuuts” are buying small cigars is to hollow them out and fill them back up with weed. The cigar covers up the smell. Next time you enter a urban convenience store notice all the tobacco lying around outside...
“weed”
Just to finish that thought. The pols know this. This is the way they are trying to tax illegal drug use. This isn’t to save the yuuts, it’s to get in on some of that pusher dough. If you can’t beat them join them. Can’t arrest the little darlings for such a minor thing as drug use. That would be Raaacist. Nope. Besides, marijuana doesn’t make you violent.
Marylanders - head West to Bethleham, PA and stock up at Cigars International. Great selection, great prices. Stock your humidor with great sticks and deny the libs your hard earned dollars.
I am doing that for my big buys, but at the same time I will patronize my local stores just to not totally penalize them. They actually have worked hard to try and stop these f*cks who happen to govern us.
There; fixed it.
In the part of Virginia I live, the Maryland line is 8 miles away.
Delaware is 30 min from the Eastern Shore and has NO Sales Tax (and is generally cheaper).
So, ol’ Vinnie DeMarco jumped off the anti-gun (Marylanders Against Handgun Abuse, aka MAHA) gravy train when the checks stopped coming in; and now he’s jumped onto the anti-smoking gravy train. He was an a-hole then, and appears to still be an a-hole. Anything to control you. For a buck, of course.
The only time Delaware’s “no sales tax” claim really comes into play is on big ticket items and at the dollar stores. I know, I lived in Delaware More than 20 years before moving to Virginia.
Shopping in Delaware is more expensive, I see it daily in my shopping. I was at my SIL’s in Diver a short while back and we ran out of butter, so I made a run to the local Food Lion to grab a pound. The day before that I had bought butter in my local Food Lion here in Virginia - mine was 40cents cheaper, even after adding in the sales tax, than what I paid in Dover.
As for distance, as I said, I am 8 miles from the Maryland line, and I’m on the Eastern Shore just an hour south of Delaware. Between my house and the Maryland line there are 8 tobacco outlets and numerous convenience stores that all sell tobacco products.
Sieg Hiel Comrad.
With the current level of purging, I am really surprised you are still around. How does anyone that FAILS to engage their intellect allowed to hang around FR?
Civilization cannot survive with twelve-year-olds having babies, fifteen-year-olds shooting one another, seventeen-year-olds dying of AIDS, and eighteen-year-olds graduating with diplomas they cannot read.
Either you have a reading comprehension issue or you are purposefly obtuse. Either way I am surprised you have survived the the current purging of the intellectual lightweights.
Good news: Jesus still loves you
Bad news: Limited government conservatives on FR still think you’re an asshole
Virginia is ALSO on the Eastern Shore, abuts Maryland, and a carton of cigarettes, including sales tax, is $11 cheaper than in Delaware.
