    don't buy online cigs....

    If you buy cigs online, you're playing with fire .....

    State sues online cigarette sites, saying they evade hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes - NYPOST.com

    I just got hit with a big bill from the state of CT for cig taxes from 2009 and 2010. I quit smoking some time ago.

    I don't think I have any grounds to dispute this, I did order cigs from Kentucky ( I think it was) at $20 a carton, now I must pay the taxes.

    Be careful if you are doing this, a bill is likely coming for you, you might as well buy the cigs at the gas station and pay the price upfront.

    An opportunity does exist to smuggle cigs ( like in a van) from cheap tobacco states to places like NYC.

    This online stuff is likely to bite you in the ass.

    LOL I didn't even realize cigs were available for sale online. Here in SoCarolina ours are cheap(er) than mant states, I always see guys with NY / NJ plates going into our stores and buying as many cartons as they are allowed.

    Was getting Cuban cigarettes from a Swiss cigar vendor for $23 a carton shipped. He is out of stock now. The Vegas Robanias and Cohibas were stronger and fuller than Marlborough Reds.

    Quit smoking. It is bad for your health and your wallet.
