The Tennessee General Assembly is considering two identical bills that would increase taxes on premium cigars in Tennessee. Rep. Bo Mitchell introduced HB 1438 and Senator Heidi Campbell introduced SB 1522, which would increase the tax rate on all other tobacco products from 6.6 percent to 17.0 percent of the wholesale cost price. Whether you are a manufacturer, retailer, or consumer; the Premium Cigar Association encourages you to contact the Tennessee General Assembly to oppose these bills today!
