Maybe you should go see a nice salesman ....
 
Ok, I'll go see Isell. I have a couple of really good cigars, we can have them as we discuss a car deal.

That's a good idea, then you can tell us how this guy really operates.
 
I don't know if I should be wishing you good luck or bad luck.
  
If we see you posting over at "Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous" we'll know what happened.

Maybe I'll like my next cigar and get hooked on them?
 
I'm glad I didn't like cigarettes either!

isell....bad (cheap) cigars have fillers. A good one is as smooth as a good merlot. I know people that have sipped my Woodford and I thought they were going to barf. I may have a cigar once or twice/week, or so (usually on weekends). Some of my cigar loving friends make fun of me, but I can only smoke about 1/2 of one at a time. That's about as much as I can take.
 
Back to Sales.....bigveedub...of all the female sales people I've had (all of two), they are more concerned with their appearance than any "male" sales people I've had. I mean that in a good way. In general, they've been more professional in their appearance and their actions (sorry Craig). I know I'm making generalizations, but it's just what I've observed. BTW....us males don't mind the crow's feet, as long as the eyes are sincere and the smile is genuine.

Well next time you're in my neck of the woods I'll take you to a good place to enjoy a good cigar. A good cigar, unlike a cigarette, is smooth and mellow. And unlike a cigarette they are pure tobacco, no fillers or additives.
 
Now back to your regularly scheduled rants

I sincerely hope not. I have seen some cancers of the oral cavity caused by cigar/pipe smoking and when the surgeon has no option but to remove parts of the mouth or the tongue, it is not a pretty sight.

OK... don't get me wrong - nobody loves good tales of disfigurement & death more than I do, but let's see if we can return to some sales stories.

Darn... I was hoping to learn more about cigars and cigarettes. But, one quick question before this discussion heads off into another tangent. What is a filler? Is that like soybean?

Buying car out of state--sales tax? by felke001
Sep 27, 2006 (7:10 am)

A question for the assembled sales force--(sorry to interrupt the discussion on the merits of tobacco--for the record, I think a nice cigar every now and then is a wonderful thing).
 
I am looking at purchasing a car out of state (VA) due to the lack of availability of an option that I want (AWD in this case) here in NC.
 
I assume that I would not have to pay VA sales tax but would have to pay NC sales when I register the car here?
 
Advice appreciated.

tax by stickguy

with the caveat that each state is different ( I think CA might be the worst in this case), normally you pay sales tax when/where you register the car. The selling state doesn't get anything.
 
It works this way between NJ and PA (I live close to the border, so a lot of people cross the river to shop). If you are out of state, they give you a non-resident temp tag, and you are responsible for going to your state DMV to register it (after, of course, paying the tax).
