"The perfect introduction to the world of high end cigars." Does it say how many cigars you get? That price is a bit high for three cigars for an introductory offer.

The $32.8 billion expansion of the State Children’s Health Care Initiative, which was funded by an increase in the federal excise tax on cigars, the tax paid to the U.S. government on cigars as they are brought into the United States. Signed into law in 2009, the SCHIP expansion went into effect in April 2009, and boosted the federal excise tax on large cigars from less than five cents per cigar to 40.26 cents per cigar. Some cigar companies didn’t increase prices, but most did.

Add to that ^^^^^^ the state taxes which can be up to 75% of the manufactures sale price , depending on which shit show state youre in . Theres so much tax on cigars its sickening . The " government " makes more off cigars than the retailers do for the most part . Imagine if that were done to cars or homes or tampons or whatever ... the outrage , right

I just cant look at cigar prices without getting pissed off anymore , I just cant

I'm trying to smoke my pipe more. As @Ruffinogold has said, cigars are too expensive.
