If that proposed bill in Congress passes where USPS can't deliver tobacco products, that new law in Texas where mail ordered cig packs must have the Texas stamp on every pack? It'll all be moot...USPS couldn't deliver cartons anywhere in the US anyway.
I hear this proposal applies to cig/MYO deliveries. Not delivering cigars or pipe tobacco to homes. |

How can they lawfully charge the consumer for a mercantile excise tax which the interstate consumer never pays other than to reimburse the merchant?
How can they lawfully charge the smoker for a tax that is designed to attack and discourage smoking? |

The way to get around some of these tax problems is to find someone in another state willing to buy them locally for you. I did that for a fellow living in NYC for a couple of years until he moved to another state.
Make sure it's someone you can trust though. When the guy asked me to do it he didn't know me from Adam. He sent me $210 viva PayPal. Lucky for him I'm an honest guy or I could have ripped him off. He got his smokes, saved nearly $150 and gave me ten bucks for doing it for him. Even after paying for Priority shipping.
Marlboros now cost about $38 a carton even here. |

Whether what they do is "Lawful" or not is irrelevant, they are gonna do what they want and we are gonna take it because the blood of those who gave all they had to be free no longer runs in our viens and our population has become diluted by 3 world peasants who wouldn't rise up against authority even if they kidnapped their children from their very arms. They'd just make more kids, its what they do best in fact, the only thing that many of them do at all.
We didn't do nothing to reign in the Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rowe cabal and we won't do anything about any other wrongs committed by politicians. The sexual perversion of our leaders alone and the disgrace they cause US is more than enough to warrant their destruction but we are cowards. Face it, live with it. Oneday this life will end and something else will follow or nothing at all. Either would be preferable to living amongst and getting trampled upon...with all the fvkking spineless cowards in this country. |

There is no office or branch of government that I can go to to pay the "surcharge" or "user fee" that Florida want's me to pay. (that I know of) I buy a pound of tobacco from N Carolina and pay the state tax for it there and then have to pay it again here....but to whom and how?????
This is just silly If Florida did not do such a good job of eradicating tobacco stores I would buy locally but there are no stores here where I live that sell loose tobacco so I have to buy online or smoke the FSC crap.
Florida took themselves out of the loose tobacco business when they closed( well sort of) all the stores. Now Florida gets no revenue from loose tobacco sales. Boo hoo.
so sorry to hear. Guess I'll be supporting the States that value the revenue they get from their tobacco stores. |

Quote: Cigarette Delivery Sales
Cigarette purchases made via the Internet, mail or telephone order and delivered to a buyer in Texas must have a Texas cigarette tax stamp affixed to the bottom of the cigarette package.
Are there any States that don't tax interstate internet tobacco sales?
That's hard to say, but here's an interesting policy:
- We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only to complete that order. Your payment information is not stored in an on-line data bank. All orders are printed on paper and processed off-line. Neither your payment method nor your payment information can be accessed via the Internet at anytime.

They also claim "100% Natural Tobacco". Note most smokes are only about half tobacco, the rest is 'recon' and what not.

Blackhawk is too risky for me. I ain't mailing in personal/cashier checks to ANYONE by mail. I prefer e-checks and placing orders online. Blackhawk is the only smoke shop I know of with a site, but you gotta actually send in your orders to them by snail mail.
Their payment methods are too dangerous for me. |

I prefer sending in the orders and paying with a money order to totally eliminate any electronic paper trail. As far as Blackhawk being too risky they are accredited and rated by the BBB. Rather well too. Not many others (none that I know of) are.
