The issue I'm having is this. Prices and ship weights are different on single cigars (or arbitrary multipliers of the singles) and on boxes of cigars, with the price point being lower for someone buying a box as opposed to singles. The discount isn't consistent however, and the number of cigars in a box varies by individual brand.

I would like to be able to have one page where the cigar displays as a product, and for there to be a box purchase option as well as a single cigar (or an arbitrary number of single cigars that is short of a box, or even the same number of cigars in the box without the customer wanting the physical box). Any bright ideas on how to do this? Do I have to make a box of X Brand cigars a different product than singles of X Brand cigars?

Also, cigar taxes are a little weird and don't really fit into the standard "sales tax" format. Any ideas on how to be creative with the tax module?

Many thanks for any help more experienced users can offer me.
