cigars in WI are cheaper


This is me, before I lost the smile. It's time for a revolution, people.

Is anyone else beginning to feel opressed by our state's government? Pawlenty's "user tax" or "health impact fee" or whatever he calls it just raised the price of my favorite Dominican cigars- Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente maduros are now $7. The tobacco tax makes me want to drive to Hudson to procure my coveted puros, but at $2.69 a gallon the gas to get me there and back will make it a draw. Damn.

I could always quit enjoying the occasional stogie. That doesn't make sense, though. Long live hyper-consumerism! It's the American way. (forget that revolution talk. I've changed my mind.)
