I got the scoop today...the tax on "pipe" tobacco (RYO cigarette tobacco) is going up at the end of next month, maybe sooner. The exact amount isn't clear, but it's going to be similar to the tax on properly labeled RYO cigarette tobacco.
This really isn't a new tax. The intent of the existing tax was meant to include this tobacco, but the wording of the law created a loop-hole.
