Just from googling around because I also had this question.
It doesn't look like it's so much a tax issue as it is a labor issue. (Well, it is a tariff issue and tariffs are taxes).
My guess is that they aren't growing enough tobacco to meet local demand which has ultimately kicked up prices.

EDIT: Wikipedia would indicate there is tobacco production within Europe. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/83/TobaccoYield.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/83/TobaccoY...
