When should I expect my order?

We know you want your order yesterday, and we strive to be the fastest and most reliable shippers in the business. We will process all in-stock orders that are received by 3:00pm ET for same day shipping from our warehouse in Pennsylvania. Shipping takes up to 8 business days from date of shipment (not including weekends or holidays).

Online inventory is updated regularly. If an item is not immediately available, it will ship the moment it becomes available by our Saver Shipping method. We cannot be held responsible for UPS errors, or other delays out of our control. (Please note: for urgent and extremely time-sensitive requests, please call or email a representative to ensure availability before submitting your order, as certain items marked 'available' can sometimes sell out in the same day.)

TRACKING MY ORDER

• You can check shipment status by using the My Account link found on each page. 
• Orders ship from our warehouse located in Bethlehem, PA.

Humidified Shipping

When storing, shipping, and transporting your cigars, humidification is a concern. Cigar.com relies on Water Pillows to guarantee our cigars remain fresh in transit. Water Pillows are extremely absorbent and come packaged in a permeable material that releases moisture to maintain an ideal environment for your cigars. Simply dipping it in distilled water activates the pillow for up to 30 days. Best of all, each Water Pillow has a long life span so they can be reused.

Fresh cigars delivered to your door is what we're all about at Cigar.com. As part of our commitment to providing our clients with the best possible service, all orders for single cigars and most sampler packs are shipped with Water Pillow technology, free of charge. Additionally, if you're giving cigars as gifts, they will remain fresh until the special occasion. Cigar.com is the only dealer providing this service. That's the Cigar.com difference!
