I don't think so.....they have those cheap cig/cigars now at a $1.25 a pack and it's getting harder to distinguish the difference between those and regular cigs all the time. Also the Roll your own (RYO) industry is catching on.
The loose leaf tax mentioned earlier I don't believe applies to pipe tobacco so at roughly $20 a pound and about $6.00 for a couple boxes of cigarette tubes one can have a carton for about $12.

if you shop around you can make a carton for 5 bucks. Americans need to be more self sufficient and not depend on corporations. broad leaf baccy isn't even regulated around here and can be bought at the farmers market screw the gov just live without them and their taxes and fees,its easy. been doing it for years

Oh, and for bonus points, how has Obama taken away your Right to Bear Arms?
