What it is and who needs it.
What the tobacco/vapor bond actually covers
Wisconsin taxes tobacco and vapor products under Wis. Stat. ch. 139. No one may operate as a distributor or subjobber of those products without a permit from the Department of Revenue under § 139.79 — and that section applies the permit and bond requirements of § 139.34.
The bond is a tax-security guarantee: it stands behind the tobacco and vapor products tax a distributor owes, so the state is protected if the tax isn't remitted. The Department of Revenue is the obligee; you (the principal) and the surety stand behind the tax.
The required amount is set by DOR and generally tracks your expected tax liability, so it varies by distributor — pricing runs 1.2% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. A holder of a cigarette distributor or jobber permit under § 139.34 can obtain the matching tobacco/vapor permit at no charge. Enter the figure on your permit and your exact price appears at application.
