On November 2nd, Please Consider Voting Yes
on Question 1 to Repeal the State Tax on Alcohol
I know this doesn't really have to do with pipe smoking
but in a way it does. Many pipe smokers like to enjoy their
favorite alcoholic beverage with their pipe. Single Malt Scotch
is a big favorite and the price for a bottle of 12 yr old
Scotch averages in the $35-$75 range. Add
the 6.25% sales tax to that and we up the price by $2.18 -
$4.68. I don't know about you but I can think
of a lot better things to do with that money. They're already
taxing the hell out of tobacco... where is it going to stop?
Dunhill Tobacco Delayed
Those of you who have been waiting to get your hands
on the newly produced Dunhill tobaccos are going to have to
wait just a little bit longer. Word from PipesMagazine.com
says the shipment is pushed back until at least mid November.
You can pre-order your tins at pipesandcigars.com
