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.”
But they have been taxed ‘bigly’ since Rendells YUUUUGE tax increase in 2008(?) I bought my cigars (Capt. Black) for 2.75 a pack and Rendell put them WAYYY up. MAYBE the 2016 tax law means from the Price AFTER Rendells horse crap?
