Count me in that 1/2 and I have no interest in the stuff. What I am interested in is getting some other sins to share the tax burden. Everytime I read the news, they are introducing some new alcohol or tobacco tax. Cigar tax almost exceeds the cigar cost, there is a bill looking to increase the tax to 135%. I don’t smoke cigarettes (unless drunk and in a casino, when in rome…) but those folks pay a total of $2.90 in tax per pack, I think they are about $5, so there’s more tax than cost. If they legalize pot, they will have a new whipping boy, throw in legalized prostitution and me and my wine and cigars can be forgotten for a few years by all the people for a perfect world.
