Shipping Policy

Standard Shipping Policies:

Premium cigars are perishable items, the faster they can be shipped from our climate-controlled humidor to yours, the better. Therefore, we have chosen UPS and DHL as our designated carriers. Delivery schedules are based on business days. In other words, unless special shipping instructions have been arranged, pickups and/or deliveries will not be made on weekends or holidays.

Ship-To address 

Cigar Country requires a “shipping” address, which is not necessarily the same as the “billing” address. Upon registration, the shipping address is automatically defaulted to the billing address. You may add a separate shipping address thereafter. When a billing address is updated, its corresponding shipping address will be automatically updated as well. All other shipping addresses and preferences will remain unchanged.

IMPORTANT: First-Time Buyers must use the SAME Shipping & Billing Address. To help prevent fraud, new customers must wait a minimum of 14 days to place a second order to a different Shipping Address.
