Dear Louisiana Cigar Enthusiasts,
Your voice is needed! House Bill 325 is moving through the Louisiana Legislature, and it’s a game-changer for cigar consumers and small businesses across the state.
What HB 325 Does:
It places a 50¢ cap on the tax for premium cigars invoiced at over $120 per 1,000 — replacing the current 20% tax rate that unfairly burdens retailers, wholesalers, and adult consumers.
Why It Matters:
This bill brings much-needed tax relief to small businesses and premium cigar enthusiasts, aligns Louisiana with other cigar-friendly states, and protects jobs.
Effective Date:
If passed, the tax cap will go into effect July 1, 2025, applying to cigars purchased by retail and wholesale dealers.
Take Action Today!
Contact your Louisiana State Representative and ask them to VOTE YES on HB 325 to support small business, consumer choice, and a fair tax policy for premium cigars.
Thank you for standing with us!
