Nat Sherman Townhouse lowers prices in response to new OTP tax code.
15 January 2014 To our loyal Nat Sherman Townhouse customers, Since August 1, 2010, we have had the unfortunate obligation to pay an OTP (other tobacco products) tax of 75% to New York State. As a result, this incredibly high tax rate increased the price of cigars in our store.
