Excise & Energy Tax Division, OTP Premium Cigar - Maximum Tax

Pursuant to R.C. 5743.01(R), the Tax Commissioner is required to annually compute a tax adjustment factor for the tax cap on premium cigars. The adjustment factor is added to the statutory $0.50 cap to establish the maximum tax amount levied on premium cigars. Based on the calculation, the adjustment factor is $0.15; therefore, effective July 1, 2025, the new maximum tax amount on premium cigars is $0.65.
