I get confused easily, so maybe you can explain. Didn't you say before that this tax works out to about 40 cents per cigar? Aren't cigar smokers supposed to be, you know, big swinging dicks? Tough uber-capitalists, showing off their success? Do they really care about an extra 40 cents? Do the rest of us care if they have to pay it?

And why is this a Luxist post? I thought the point of this blog was exuberant consumption. Million dollar yachts and what not.

This seems political and very very petty.
