The new Obama S-CHIP (SHIT) taxes go into affect on April 1st. Cigar prices are going up. Don't forget to place your orders prior to Wednesday.

Cigars and cigarettes should be illegal. They are costing the medical system in this country way too much money. People can't seem to quit smoking them despite the fact they know of the tremendously elevated cancer risks. It's like nicotine is a powerful and addictive drug or something.

I hope that obama does the right things and makes them illegal. It is for the good of society.

I just smoked a cigarette and it was great. I think I might have another one in an hour or two.

Yeah, I'm thinking about stop smoking the cigars and start smoking weed. Weed is probably cheaper now.

Actually, I think we're lucking out so far. I heard that some of the cigar shops are charging more, but the online outlets seem to be holding their prices, even though they've posted notes about potential increases with the new SCHIP tax. Some of the manufacturers, distributors and retailers are eating the tax right now. The comment that I read in an e-mail from one online retailer said that they would continue to share the burden of the new tax as long as his suppliers kept their prices low. Works for me!

I ordered some the first of the week to beat the increase. What a bunch of shit!

Careful there, tiger88, AUChizzad will 'call you out' too for "dragging a topic all over the...forums".

Naahhhhh! He'll let it go because they're on the same side of the discussion. It's part of the brilliance and omnipotence that God bestows upon you with being a "founding" moderator with a massive e-penis. (I still can't believe that he threw that at me, even after all of the shit that people complained about on that other forum.

The Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement is already paying billions to the states for healthcare...more than enough by the way...but your point is taken.

Of course, there have been no reputable studies involving adverse health affects of cigars, and lumping cigars in with cigarettes is just foolish. Using some of that brilliant moderator "logic" that was used against me in that other thread, all I need to do is bring up George Burns to refute any potential adverse affects of cigars. As we know, George smoked 10-15 Churchill sized cigars every day of his life and lived to the ripe old age of 100. I'm only at 2-3 each day, so I guess that I need man-up and increase my cigar consumption.

I read somewhere that they were cheap cigars too (sorry I don't have a source reference for that bit of trivial information).

I guess that thanks are in order for quoting from my last post...I thought that it might be too harsh so I deleted it but...as 'Rosanne Rosannadanna' - a character who most of the yute mods won't remember - used to famously say "Never mind".

Oh, come off it, fuckstick. Put down your whiskey and try to focus between puffs of your cigar (to paraphrase your irrelevant off-the-cuff digs). That was in direct response to you calling me a "drive-by poster" as if I don't contribute to this board besides a sporatic post or two.

You even continued to call me that in a thread that I've drug along for over 8 pages repeating myself over and over despite clear evidence that you'll never get it...

Aren't Cigars large Phalaces according to Sig Freud? Just another reason to quit.

More power to you. I have never understood why people smoke cigarettes with them tasting like shit and everything. Pot I can understand, the flavor and the buzz are much better. Cigarette addiction is kinda sad in my book. People get hooked because it is cool or whatever and it is much more addictive than pot.

Not knocking people that smoke, because I'm a whatever floats your boat, as long as it doesn't hurt others, kinda guy. I have just never got it. It taste like shit, makes your clothes and house smell rancid, etc.

Actually Freud's take on it was "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar".

Oh come on, hit-and-run... Tell me how you're soooo fucking brilliant because you're a founding member and moderator of the board, again. That adds soooo much credibility to everything you post here.

Have fun with it and don't get so damn upset when somebody doesn't drink you kool-aide or take your condescending rhetorical opinions as the Word of God, Allah or Mother Gaia.

Oh yeah... You're so damn awsome. It was only YOU who carried the thread "for over 8 pages" repeating the same damn thing getting upset every time someone challenged you on your opinions about facts that you couldn't produce. And, when you finally lowered yourself and did get around to posting some references, you felt it necessary to exercise your master moderator skeellz over the quote function and spam the board with the entire article over three damn posts bringing up a lot of other items to battle straw tigers that weren't even being discussed. Yeah, that's "common knowledge" because you say it is... Us little folks bow down to your supremacy and omnipotence... Oh, master moderator!

Talk about putting words into someone's mouth...
I know you're not THAT stupid, and are just being an asshole, but keep up the good work misquoting me and posting it COMPLETELY out of context as anyone with any kind of brain power can clearly see. What's the matter, drank all your brain cells away?(Yes, I realize how ridiculous saying shit like this is, but it doesn't seem to stop you, so I'm not going to try to discuss like an adult if you're not. I know you are, but what am I.)

You are the master of it by carrying the comments of others to completely absurd extremes by selectively ignoring words and pushing the envelope. Now, you're going to hit-and-run with these snide little remarks and play stupid?

Well, aside from my quips about you flexing your e-penis, that is EXACTLY as it happened. You did throw that "common knowledge" shit at me when I challenged you, and you did everything to prevent from posting anything to support your claims. Now, you're just playing hard-to-get. And, don't turn that "I know you are, but what am I" shit on me. You started that one as well. :thumbsup:
