because PA has no taxes on cigar sales.”.....OH, BS. A pack of Captain Black cigars is just south of $7.00. Rendell socked a bigger tax on cigars than the cigarettes about 13 years ago. $6.85 a pack including the 6% sales tax after buying.
Does Captain Black count as "cigars"?
From:Philly.com (July 19, 2016)
“Cigars will remain tax-free because they are the mainstay of a thriving industry in Pennsylvania. Legislators say they want to keep it that way…. Florida and Pennsylvania are the only states that do not tax cigars of either the premium or the gas-station variety.”
