By Harrison Clark | May 18, 2023

Montana: Montana Governor Greg Gianforte signed Senate Bill 122 into law on Tuesday, which calls for a 35 cent tax cap on the sale of premium cigars. Sponsored by Montana Sen. Greg Hertz, SB 122 represents a major victory for cigar smokers and retailers in Big Sky Country as the previous tax rate on premium cigars was 50 percent of the wholesale price. The new law will go into effect on July 1.
