Later, Deano.  Howdy, Joe.

Morning/afternoon, Tony.

How's school treating ya?  I'm seriously considering going back (again).

Dr. Tony?

Actually looking at the crazy tuition reimbursement policy now.

Would be nice if I could've gotten any of that from my current employer but it'd be quite obvious that I'd leave as soon as I got a job after graduating.  Gotta keep the whole thing on the down-low at work.  Just adds to the stress of it all, haha.  Whatever... all be over in a year or so.  Not much time at all in the grand scheme of things, only makes me wish I would've done it a few years ago instead.

Better late then never!

s of Aug. 1, the retail and distribution operation is now at least four separate companies, a move that is expected to leverage some tax benefits, while also bringing the retailer closer to how its biggest competitor, JR Cigars/Santa Clara, is run. Products will now be purchased by Meier & Dutch, which in turn will sell the cigars and other items to its end consumer operations which include physical retail operations in Pennsylvania, four different online storefronts and a physical mail-in catalog.

“The long-rumored CI superstore project for Texas has been put on hold (until the) second half of 2015 once the offering is complete,” said a high-ranking official at another cigar manufacturer. The restructuring of the company’s business is said to create a situation in which Cigars International would be able to open up business in other states without putting its nexus in Pennsylvania, a state without a cigar tax, in jeopardy.

Despite the restructuring of Cigars International and the public offering of the larger ST Group, a sale of Cigars International is highly unlikely.

That would fuk me and the others in TX because we would have to start paying sales tax so fuk them if they open here.  TX does have a very low cigar tax but average 8.75% sales tax.

With all the proposed anti-tobacco legislation these days, seems like investing in a 'cigar company' is as good a way to lose your money as there is, if you're in to that sort of thing.  One of those things where I'd like to keep it strictly a hobby - buy, smoke, and enjoy good cigars and that's it.  I don't want to ever own a cigar shop or work at one.  I don't want to invest in cigar companies.  If anything, I see this move as a way to make some BIG money now, before any regulation slams them hard.
