Current Tax Rates Cigarettes : $1.41 per pack of 20 Cigars : roughly 1 cent per 10 cigars or $0.01 per cigar for small cigars, and $0.01 per cigar or 1% of manufacturer's price for large cigars, with a cap Other Tobacco Products (OTP) : typically 40% of the manufacturer's list price Vapor Products / E-Cigarettes : as of recent legislation, Texas taxes vapor products at a per-milliliter rate or percentage basis Sales Tax On top of tobacco excise taxes, you'll collect Texas state sales tax of 6.25% plus any local sales tax (which can bring the total to 8.25% in most metro areas)
