An online cig seller (ordersmokesdirect) reported my purchases to the state of Ohio last year. I had to pay Excise tax on my purchases from Sept 07 - May 08 and I had 90 days. $12.50/carton, 3 cartons per month, plus 6.75% sales tax on the retail total and excise tax.
I tried to argue that was double taxing, paying sales tax on excise tax but it didn't work.
