BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Any new info yet on the SCHIP tax vote?

Oh she does, but you have to donate $25K... lol
:rofl: Dude, I am with you on that!
But we really do need to fight. I think most of realize that our passion is going to get taxed more no matter what. But if we fight, then maybe it won't be that much.
Yeah, I know, click my heals three times. I'm not in Kansas anymore! Aunty Em.. Toto!!

Well, ye never know what she's willing to do until ye ask...maybe looks will become irrelevant. :wink:
I found a cigar from a long time ago when I bought weird novelty type smokes. It's a John T pipe tobacco cigar and while it did not taste bad it was almost as if the cigar has molasses mixed with the pipe tobacco. It burned pretty screwed up and it was tarry as hell.

2009 SCHIP Bill Introduced in Congress
More Info
HR2 Looks to Move Smoothly Through House, Slower in Senate
Congress has introduced the reauthorization of the SCHIP bill--HR2. The cigar tax proposal is as follows:
52.4 percent on large cigars (most premium cigars follow under this federal classification) with a cap of no more than 40 (forty) cents per cigar. This is far lower than the original proposal from the Senate of $10 per cigar and $3 proposed by the House.
This has been a long, tough fight for all of us, and considering we are still being hit with a tax increase on cigars, our industry feels the proposed 40-cent maximum (cap) is sustainable and certainly better than the original proposals.
We expect HR2 to move smoothly through Congress and will not face defeating oppositon. As more news develops we will continue to keep you informed.

I figured I would post this to show how bad things can get. I did a trade here and forgot to mention not to put cigars on the customs declaration. My fault but here is what the delivery ticket looked like. Keep in mind this was for 15 cigars listed as a gift.

I just paid the taxes like a good citizen. It brings the prices of the sticks up to where they would be here normally and I get to try some stuff I wouldn't normally be able to find here.
