Why You Need to Cellar Tobacco

When you retire you can smoke your cellar and not have to use medication dollars on tobacco. :)

2 - Taxation is already here and will only go up. It's not about saving you, or kids, it's about trying to balance budgets, period.

3 - Price increases are inevitable, even if taxes don't increase.

4 - Some states have already created legislation against shipping tobacco into the state. It's probable that this legislation will spread and doubtful that it will be repealed.

5 - There is a growing market for older tobacco.

^^^ There it is!

I'm not cellaring, I'm hoarding.
I figure it's going to be more useful than beanie babies.

I like not having to figure tobacco into my weekly or monthly budgeting. When I need some, I just go downstairs.

Before you know it, getting anything will be close to impossible.

I'm personally not afraid of the total ban of tobacco sales...I think there is too much tax revenue there for them to do that; of course marijuana will become a better cash crop over the next 10-15 years and will be a huge tax income all its own, so who knows.

I am more worried about the control and shutting down of internet commerce.

I wouldn't worry about it being shut down, it's way too big, but they dam sure will figure a way to TAX it! There is the real problem, as taxes will be high, very high!!!
