If you’re typing cigars near me into a search bar, you probably want a good cigar soon. A local tobacconist can be great, but the closest shop won’t always have the brand, size or flavor you’re after. Here’s how a local shop compares with ordering from an online cigar store, so you can decide which works for you.
What you get from a shop near you
With a local smoke shop or cigar lounge, you can walk out with a cigar right away, see and smell it first, and often sit down and smoke it there. On the other hand, shelf space is limited, you’re stuck with their opening hours, and prices tend to be higher because retail rent is expensive. Most convenience stores only have a few machine-made cigarillos and hardly any premium cigars.
Why buying cigars online can be better
- You get thousands of cigars, cigarillos, pipe tobaccos and accessories from 200+ brands in one place.
- Online stores have lower overhead, so prices are often lower, and boxes and multipacks save you more.
- You can order at 2 a.m. if you want, and it comes to your door.
- Product pages list the strength, wrapper, size and origin, so you’re not guessing.
- Stock sells through quickly and we store it properly until it ships.
How to find what you want online
By brand
If you already have a favorite, go straight to it. Backwoods, Swisher Sweets, Romeo y Julieta, Black & Mild and many others each have their own brand page.
By category
Or browse by type: premium cigars, cigars and cigarillos, filtered cigars, pipe tobacco or hookah tobacco. If you know the product name, the search icon in the header will find it.
Is it legal to buy cigars online?
Yes, if you’re 21 or older and state and local law allow it. We verify age at checkout and don’t ship to restricted locations. Some states and cities restrict flavored tobacco, so a few items aren’t available everywhere. Our age verification policy and shipping and delivery page have the details, and the FDA website explains the federal rules.
