By the city, do you mean New York City?

yea new york city...

Due to a 38% tobacco tax on top of the sales tax you can not buy cheap cigars in NYC.

I usually depend on shops like Holts and Famous-smoke in PA for my cigars or I shop out of the country.

Importing cigars from Cuba is actually cheaper than buying locally (as long as you don't get caught)

you can go to cigarbids.com

doc, you didn't get hit with that 38% crap on that box of opus robusto did you?

As I implied, I don't buy locally.

10-4. I'd hate to think what 38% of a full box would be.

I generally purchase from online vendors only to avoid the taxes previously referred to. But, I know JR Cigar has a very large selection of cigars in their locations. They have two stores in NJ - one in Paramus, the other in Whippany.

JR Whippany

I've been to the Whippany location once, and was pleased with the staff and selection.
