Cigar smoking carries real and well-documented health risks. Nothing on this site should be read as suggesting otherwise.

Health warning

Cigar smoking is not a safe activity. It causes cancer of the mouth, throat, larynx, oesophagus and lung, and increases the risk of heart and lung disease. These risks are established and are not eliminated by smoking infrequently, by not inhaling, or by choosing premium product over mass-market product.

Cigars contain nicotine, which is addictive. Cigar smoke is also harmful to people around you.

If you do not currently smoke, nothing on this site is an argument to start. Cigar HQ is written for adults who have already made that decision for themselves.

Age restriction

This site is intended only for adults aged 21 or older in the United States, consistent with the federal minimum age for tobacco purchase.

We do not knowingly publish content aimed at anyone under 21, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 21.

We do not sell tobacco

Cigar HQ is an information site. We do not sell cigars, accept tobacco orders, process payment for tobacco, hold stock, or ship tobacco products.

Links from this site go to independent retailers who are responsible for their own sales, age verification, tax collection and shipping. Cigar HQ is not a party to any transaction you enter into with them.

No medical or legal advice

Nothing on this site is medical advice. If you have questions about how tobacco use affects your health, speak to a doctor.

Tobacco law, tax and shipping restrictions vary by state and locality and change frequently. Confirming what is lawful where you live is your responsibility, not ours.

Accuracy

Blend details, sizes and availability are drawn from manufacturer information and change without notice. We correct errors when we learn of them, but we cannot guarantee that every specification is current.

Price bands are broad estimates for orientation only, not quotes.
