California’s surtax on Other Tobacco Products, which includes cigars, is about to fall. On July 1, 2010, the state’s Board of Equalization’s decision to lower the tax from 41.11 percent to 33.02 percent will take effect. The BOE evaluates California’s sales taxes every year to make sure they are “fair and uniform,” according to Cigar Aficionado.
