U.S. Cigarette Revenue stamps are classified as “taxpaids,” a phrase used when the denomination is expressed in units rather than money. Cigarettes were classed and taxed at a rate per thousand. The tax was levied against the manufacturer who processed, blended, and added flavorings to the tobacco. The stamp would often be placed over a seal on the container, so that the stamp would be torn if the seal was broken. Taxpaid Cigarette stamps are not listed in the Scott catalogs, TA17 is the Springer catalog number. US Revenue stamp essays and proofs are listed in the Turner catalog.
